I am strongly against protesting at someone's home, but your attempt to make up a false equivalency for Jan 6th is silly.
You’re completely full of shite.

How is the Supreme Court handing down a constitutionally accurate correction any worse than a stolen presidential election? All right, it isn’t.

The left is truly hypocritical and evil to the core

The party controlling the mainstream media dictates the words used to describe protests on either side of the war.
Leftist protests are “mainly peaceful” and destruction of private property is always deserved, or inconsequential.
Opposition protests are insurrections attended by white supremacists.
The protests at the justices’ residences are warranted because pro-lifers are portrayed as evil racists trying to take away a “right”, so it’s an “any means necessary” thing.

Comparing protesting outside someone’s house to physically breaking up a session to congress calls for obvious differences to be fricking pointed out.
This board spend endless energy defending the morons who went into the capital on Jan 6 as doing nothing wrong but will argue that protests are Ana track on the Supreme Court.
And I don’t love protesting outside oriole’s private homes because I agree There is an inherent implication at least of a threat. But again, they aren’t actually stopping the Justices from doing their jobs.

1st amendment protects peaceful protests.
It doesn't protect trying to overthrow a lawfully elected President because you're feelings got hurt that your guy lost the election.

Remember the Kavanaugh protests at the Senate? I member. They did that and worse.

Jan. 6 was a “threat to democracy” which means a threat to the anti-American policies they are pushing as elected officials. Supreme Court justice intimidation is a threat to the United States of America. Those politicians don’t care anything about the United States of America and are on the same anti-United States of America team as those Supreme Court protestors.
Edited to add, I’m speaking of the Jan. 6 people who aimlessly wandered in and not the agitators, regardless of what side they were working for.

Yeah, those folks.
Brett Kavanaugh protesters don’t regret arrests
quote:
For most of the protesters arrested during Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, the moment has come and gone, as forgotten as the accusations against the nominee by Christine Blasey Ford and others.
quote:
“You ask yourself, ‘Is it worth it to get arrested?’ ” said Caroline Debnam, who was collared after protesting in the offices of Sen. Susan M. Collins, Maine Republican. “Sometimes it’s worth it, and this time it was.”
quote:
She was one of more than 1,000 people arrested during what became weeks of intensifying protests, culminating in several drama-filled days of committee meetings and a momentous three days of action on the Senate floor. For Ms. Debnam, 25, her protest cost about $50, a fine issued after her wrists were zip-wired and she was processed outside.
quote:
“They hauled me up and pulled me out of the chair,” she said. “They lifted my entire body up, actually, and I continued to speak.” Processing took some time for Ms. Gold because authorities made so many arrests that day. After some six hours, she was hit with a $35 fine. Ms. Gold is a national co-director of Code Pink, one of several left-wing groups that organized the protests and that, according to the impression of many involved, seemed to have some sort of understanding with the Capitol Police beforehand on how arrests would be handled and what fines to impose.
quote:
Whether such a deal was ever finalized remained unclear. Capitol Police were unable or unwilling to answer questions about it. The force’s public affairs section did not respond to multiple phone calls and emails from The Washington Times seeking details. There were no reports of police brutality, however, and the drama never escalated into the kind of violence that characterized such left-wing protests as the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
quote:
Mr. Barry, whose partner, Medea Benjamin, is a co-founder of Code Pink, is a professional left-wing activist who is familiar to cops around the Capitol and Supreme Court. He said this arrest was particularly vigorous. “I’m an experienced protester, but when you get arrested, it can be frightening in a lot of ways,” he said. “They threw me to the ground and pushed their knees in my back. They were very physical.” Mr. Barry, who was hit with more charges than the simple “crowding, obstructing or incommoding,” was also denied the more routine process that Ms. Debnam and Ms. Gold experienced.
quote:
Looking at more serious misdemeanors such as disturbing the peace, it was jail time for Mr. Barry. “Normally, you would just pay $35 or $50 and leave, but this time they put me in some special vehicle, took me to the central cell block and held me overnight. I got arraigned the next day in D.C. Superior Court.” Some of the cases like Mr. Barry’s that made it to D.C. Superior Court are still being adjudicated, but the status of those was unclear.
quote:
Officers, who usually just muscle protesters out of the chamber, were going through a more robust process this time, including warning protesters and asking them to sit down. Several officers later said that allowed them to pursue slightly elevated charges.
quote:
None of those arrested told The Times they had any regrets. “It wasn’t my intent to get arrested, actually,” Mr. Barry said. “But when I listened to the judge, the absurdity of it all hit me, and I thought, ‘I should stand up and oppose this.’ “

So they were arrested.

And paid less than $50 in fines. Now do Jan. 6 trespassers and don’t forget to include their legal fees.

Did Peppermint Patty say that the President's stance on this is that he encourages them to keep doing this.

Weather Underground...What's his name? That guy that O is buddies with and began his political career at his home? Bill Ayres? Yeah, that slime ball who escaped justice. The main characters in the WU went on to become College Professors. Imagine that? The Boudoin lady just passed last week I think?
Is that supposed to be a gotcha? Something that happened 50 years ago that no one is currently going out of their way to defend?

I think Sammy just went to a different thread.
You can equate, or try to equate, different protests….but there is absolutely no way to equate the punishments.

Circular argument; as if being arrested by the Gestapo somehow makes the GESTAPO victims more guilty than true criminals.
So in your world, people who want to kill babies are the shite, but people who suspect a stolen election are criminals. Talk about equivocation, in bizarro world
