You seem like a smart person, why make such obviously fallacious arguments? The HN guidelines ask that you respond to the strongest interpretation of what someone is saying, within reason.

How is that fallacious? It's a direct response to the argument put forth in the comment he's replying to:

> Ability to succeed doesn't really factor into what was attempted. That is in the mind & intentions of those who were involved & instigated it.

Because the intent of the crowd was not to attack police, that was a byproduct. The intent was to disrupt the process whereby power is transferred from one leader to the other. The fallacy therefore is one of false equivalency.
