However, before addressing that disaster, let's address the other "attacks" in chronological order:

Rioting in LA after Rodney King
Rioting in Ferguson Missouri
Rioting in Baltimore
Attacks on cops in NYC
Rioting in Atlanta
Rioting in Minneapolis

Does anyone see a pattern here????

I hope you are not insinuating that those "events" were OK because the perpetrators were of a specific ethnic group, but the capitol attacks were the sole instance of violence by a different ethnic group.

It's a good thing I wasn't in charge, because in all those events, including the capitol attack, instead of allowing them to burn and loot, I would have sent out the national guard with orders to shoot to kill. Would probably only need to wound 1 or 2 and the rest would get the message loud and clear

Looters should be punished and if you make an example of a couple by shooting them the rest will get the message.
