Do you think that it does justice to the victims of Jan 6th and the victims of the siege of the Colombian Palace of Justice to say that both of those events are the same crime? They're both deserving of the same punishment?

Attempted murder is the same crime whether done my a compassionate mother with a pillow smothering, or a violent psycho with a grenade. You are making a useless argument.

The fact stands that plenty of people on Jan6 threatened / executed violent action for a political means by an illegitimate authority.
