Believe it or not, it's possible to condemn violent rioting from both
Bee El-Elmer's & Auntie Fa's
and MAGA hatter's
Sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade; or else you find yourself in the awkward position of saying blue lives matter, except when they don't
1/6 wasn't a "violent riot", it was a glorified protest in a public building, something that the left has done many times such as this incident in 2021:
The only person killed in 1/6 was one of the protestors, a female veteran that was shot in the head by capitol police. Very little damage was caused. The capitol police even let them in for the most part, with Nancy Pelosi refusing additional security or National Guard presence and then and having her daughter, a documentary filmmaker, record her reactions and conversations as things progressed. There is strong evidence that law enforcement (particularly the FBI) was aware of what was going to happen and either egged it on or let it happen. Those who have been arrested have been rotting in solitary confinement for over two years now in absolute dungeon-like conditions with their right to speedy trial violated, all for very minor charges - not a single person has been charged with "insurrection".
By comparison, BLM/Antifa's 2020 Summer of Love caused $2 billion in damages, resulted in over 10,000 arrests, and over 25 deaths.
It's OK to be against both of these things. But they aren't nearly comparable in scope or impact. One just happens to have been committed by a non-protected class.

The violence at both was horrible, however you are right about one thing, they aren't comparable, one tried to literally storm the capitol and overthrow the government, including calling for the Vice President to be hung.
any word yet on the thousands of blm/antifa that burn cities down in 2020, including nyc and surrounding areas?
They weren't dumb enough to attack the capitol, risk congressmembers' lives, threaten with killing the vice-president and declare the election a fraud with no proof whatsoever.

You're delusional.
EDIT: and quite frankly, a traitor to this country. This is coming from someone who wasn't born or raised here and knows what the beginning of a coup looks like.

“Non-protected class�
White supremacists behind majority of US domestic terror attacks in 2020 Data stands in stark contrast to claims by Donald Trump, who has argued that leftwing violence is a major threat
White supremacists and other rightwing extremists have been responsible for 67% of domestic terror attacks and plots so far this year, with at least half of that violence targeting protesters, according to a new analysis from a centrist thinktank.
That was some insurrection huh? Maybe 100,000 people all unarmed. The only person that was shot was a Trump supporter and that was by a Capitol police officer. Give me a break.

You should really start a thread on the riots rather than deflecting.
Jan 6 was most certainly an attempt to keep Trump in office, many ex- military, lawyers, police, Proud boys and now a school board member all involved in overturning a fair election. Let’s stay on topic if you can. The greatest democracy was reduced to a third world banana republic on Jan 6 with congressmen fleeing the rioters.

They aren't comparable at all.
One is a bunch of morons storming the capitol based on a lie. (1/6)
The other are protests about basic human rights - a real issue and sometimes a matter of life and death. About 93% of these protests have been non violent. (BLM protests)
If you can't see that, then I'm wasting my effort typing this anyway.
