>So while the Capitol is very symbolic, there wasn’t looting, rioting or major vandalism on the part of the protesters (compare to the “Autonomous Zone” and police precinct burning in Seattle.

Five people are dead.

Dozens are injured, several severely.

A number of those taken into custody were found with molotov cocktails, police-style plastic restraints, pipes, clubs and firearms.

What do you think they were going to do with those molotov cocktails? Drink them?

Or the restraints?

Don't minimize what happened or compare it to other bad acts.

I don't know of any public official (except President Trump) who encouraged or condoned violence of any kind.

Facts matter.
