      Yeah I mean the dozens of hardcore white supremacists was meaningless. The Capitol police effectively standing down was meaningless. The guard being purposely sabotaged to delay response was meaningless. 5 people dead, 2 of them from deliberate acts of violence.

      These are all things that happen in normal riots inside the capitol building (and at capitol buildings all over the country).

      Or not even riots I guess. Dozens injured, several dead, congress shutdown and evacuated. Not a riot.

      I really wish people would just take the L on this.
