That isn’t necessarily true though. Three of the people, regardless of what you call the group they happened to be in at the time, died of medical issues that have not been tied to the events of that day. They may have just as easily died had they gone for a jog that day.

One of the three was trampled by the crowd, which rarely happens in non-crowd settings.

Ok. What about the other two?

What a inane line of questioning.

"Maybe they didn't die because of the riot?!"

"It was really only 4 dead not 5 becomes someone might have died in their bathtub."

This is the most insensitive fucked up hairsplitting I've ever read.

How is it insensitive to point out that people have strokes, heart attacks, etc. each and every day, whether they are involved in riots or not?

I am not in favor of anything that happened, but in order to have any perspective on any of this, accurate information is important.

It can happen in crowd-but-not-storming-the-Capitol settings, though. A 100% peaceful protest is usually still a crowd.

I don't see how continually looping back to semantics and pedantry helps advance this conversation.
