You're all missing the point.
How these people feel when they are committing violence in the streets, (and especially in the capitol), is no more relevant to our response than the weather being 'clear' or 'partly cloudy'.
Maybe I need to explain it another way:
Is it relevant how a BLM rioter feels when he's looting a store?
Sure, the black grandma who's at the peaceful BLM protest in the morning? How she feels is important. I definitely have a tendency to listen to that type of protester.
The armed BLM protesters that come only in the dark of night to loot and burn? No. How they feel is irrelevant to my response to them.
Same with these self proclaimed 'patriots'. The ones at unarmed peaceful protests matter. But, quick question for you: How many do you see at unarmed peaceful protests? That pretty much tells you all you need to know.
I'm only ashamed I that I had to see the Capitol fall to realize that how these violent people feel shouldn't matter.
