Fucking thank you, came here to say this. You only missed that riots that could literally be isolated to 20 people in some places are in fact different than rushing the capitol building and preventing the votes from being counted in a national election, like different in a national security kind of way. Not 1:1 equivalent.
The riot at the US capital was under 400 people, most of them charged with simple trespassing.
The BLM riots caused almost 2 billion in property damage alone (and that's just insurance claims). January 6th riot was a few million in property damage.
