If we are going to condemn criminal behavior then we must be consistent in our condemnation based on measure, scope and scale of the offense. Justice must be subjectively blind to circumstance, but objectively competent in its application. If justice is not anchored in truth then it cannot be tempered by morality. Jan 6 was not a siege by any definition of the word and if it were an insurrection then it was an insurrection that pales in comparison to the the 2020 riots. This is not opinion as the objective data supports these findings. So the question then becomes, "why was the condemnation of Jan 6 inconsistent with the lack of condemnation of the 2020 summer riots?"
