I'm sorry to disagree with a venerable python shell like this, but even if I accept your entire characterization here, these two situations look nothing alike.

> - were a group of at least 1000 people

> Granted they did not explicitly shoot any federal agents with a firearm, but in the J6 case, I’d say I’d lay blame for the subsequent deaths of the police officers who did die at the hands of the rioters.

Oh ok, so you grant we're talking about completely different scales of intention, personal responsibility, and outcomes, but you want to keep making this comparison? Because you think it's nuanced and informative?

So you’re telling me the jan6 defendants had no intention to cause harm to the lawmakers? Actual people died on jan6- nobody died at prarieland afaik.

Have you seen the footage from the riots? They clobbered the shit out of the police trying to protect the lawmakers inside the capitol.

For example this guy: https://i.insider.com/6009c83521f52a0018cb9e21?width=1200&fo...

I’m sure he was just on his way to rebundle some loose cat5 cable down the hall with his zip ties.

And the person who is the subject of this article, did he personally commit all the acts you listed?

The different scale of intention was to overturn the results of a federal general election, effectively a coup to seize back control over the government. I can see why you consider the incident in Texas to be terrorism, but you want to ignore the entire point of the J6 event and pretend it was just some normal event where a few participants got a little out of hand? Get real.

Give me a beak. The J6 rioters wanted to hang the Vice President and members of Congress. They had violent intent.
