The other day some people on HN were upset that what happened at the Capitol is being made such a big deal of when the Pennsylvania Avenue demonstration in May "only" got national headlines...
Maybe those people will slowly start to understand why we're seeing more serious charges than when demonstrators were attacked before they could even reach a fence, let alone a government building.

- kumarvvr 6y agoThere is a difference between a protest going out of control and a planned insurrection. Those at the protests were protesting their ill treatment or ill treatment meted out to others. Those at the capitol were explicitly planning to do exactly what they did.
