I have repeated that because the news people never mentioned any follow up. The Capital riots was a daily counter. Why the difference in reporting?
I did some research and you are right. My mistake due to lack of research. However, I learn from my mistakes and decided to look at the charges connected to the summer 2020 riots, not called an insurrection, even if they targeted established police authority. What I found was there were a lot of arson, firearms and assault charges. That is what I expected of a good old fashion insurrection. I went through the 1st 100 cases of the 1700 and more than half were arson.
The Prosecution Project (summer 2020)
The same data base; Prosecution Project, also has the data from the Capital Riot and they had 1300 arrests. I also went through the first 100 and the most common charge was blockading. What the heck is blockading and why does it get the same as arson? If you are stuck in a crowd and the police cannot get by is that blockading? The next common charge, which was a much smaller percent was unarmed assault, which gets the same a fire arms in the summer of 2020?
The Prosecution Project (Capital)
I tend to think that if they had applied the summer of 2020 standards maybe 100 charged would have been correct. However, they needed to up the number to get close to the summer. Now this will be heard by the Supreme Court. They may need to change another 2000-5000 from the summer of 2020, with blockading or reduce the Capital numbers.
It was still about optics, with blockading the smoke and mirrors. You helped me see the light and be a worse nuisance.
