>they were certainly far more violent than the Capitol riot since they very literally included orders of magnitude more violence, destruction, and death.

... And orders of magnitude more people. Per-capita, the capitol riot is obviously more violent, and that's the only way it makes sense to measure violence. Otherwise I could say that ISIS members are less violent than catholics.

Your perspective is correct (looking at it per capita), but as I recall only one person was murdered in the capitol riot, and that person was shot by police. One police officer was beaten. It's not clear to me off-the-cuff that BLM was more or less violent than the capitol riot.
