One is run of the mill vandalism, the other is a semi-orchestrated attempt to influence the election process.
Run-of-the-mill vandalism? No, graffiti is run-of-the-mill vandalism. Looting is a serious crime. And I don't think anyone who entered the Capitol seriously expected to "interfere" with the election process. I doubt anyone thought this would stop Biden getting into office. That wasn't the motivation.

Voicing your opinion is fine, forcing others to succumb to it is not.
This doesn't seem to be a logical reply to my comment. I mean, I agree with this, which is why I hate the mostly-left thing of cancelling people due to their opinion.

However, I asked if rebelling against the govt should be a crime. I'm an emphatic "no".
