I must invoke John Stuart Mill when it comes to morality and politics. With 138 capitol & metro police injured, there's no doubt some number of protestors should face justice for their harm to others. That is where the accountability will hopefully end. In almost every other respect the January 6th 2021 was a quintessentially American expression of liberty with overwhelming historical precedent. Time and again aggrieved citizens on both sides have try to be heard by delaying political fait accompli. From city counsels to county seats, state legislatures to native reservations, the US capital to foreign embassies... naive believers, the agitated, sometimes driven by agent provocateurs have risked prison and worse to remind representatives that victory in a vote doesn't erase diversity of belief; and that governance is more effective when the aggrieved are sincerely heard. Tribalism (on both sides) is all earmuffs and blindfolds that results in shortsighted public policy, and devaluation of different thoughts & tastes.
