The point is, you can't associate violence and death with either side of the political spectrum. Politics is a tool, not a causative agent.

I think when one side, and one side ONLY, sends armed militia with pipe bombs to storm the capitol, then yes, you can associate violence and death much more with one side than the other.

There was no 'armed militia' this is hyperbole from the news. They were peaceful protestors.
