Burning someone’s business to the fricking ground when most property coverage excludes vandalism and terrorism is damage? If you’re truly a lawyer - you’d use the correct term. That term you’re looking for is DESTRUCTION
Yes. If the J6 protesters had burned down the fricking capitol building or shot a capitol police officer who showed up voluntarily to prevent said burning down, you would have a point.

Personally, I would like to see both groups of people prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
One group took an actual mostly peaceful protest to the direct people a protest should be taken to, and were essentially let in.
The other group looted, burned, and destroyed innocent peoples businesses/lives as a rioting form of protest against something based upon misleading information.
One group did something the right way, based on information proven to be true multiple times over. These people are being charged with serious crimes.
One group completely fricked up innocent communities across the country in the name of thugs/criminals and very twisted information. These people are free without any worry of being charged.
I'm not saying that everything was perfect and innocent of issues on January 6th. However, based on all things considered, the timeline of events, and where things are headed now, this shouldn't be anything right now.
Your stance is more or less that you support charging this and just because there's no charges for the prior group doesn't mean this shouldn't be pushed. I disagree, unless there are charges brought upon rioters from the previous group, there shouldn't even be a mention about charges for the January 6th group. You're all talk and full of crap.

What a dumb comment.
We have a made for tv congressional hearing for the former and zero prosecutions and actually had individuals in congress raising funds to bail out rioters from the latter.
Your “I want both prosecuted” is embarrassingly meaningless.

You forgot all the blm murder and I didn't realize the capitol burned down.
Loons find reasonable things odd, that's one thing that makes them (and you) loons
Your "both sides" cowardice is also completely transparent and only fools the idiots who choose to suffer your company in real life.

It's like they can only think in terms of black and white. That's what makes all this so comical. They are so invested into their ideology in a life or death / us vs them mentality.

...and I think you are conflating the issues. ANTIFA/BLM creeps tearing up shite in cities is a local law enforcement issue. If Ted Wheeler or Jenny Durkan and the rest of the local woke mayors, DAs, and Governors refuse to act and/or prosecute and resist federal intervention there isn't much anyone can do about it.
These organizations who organize the mayhem across state lines is quite another...but you had a change in Administration so AG Garland is going to let it slide instead of getting aggressive and cracking down on this.
the original question was "why one is being zealously prosecuted and another not"...and it boils down to state vs. federal jurisdiction and then the political will to do something about it.

I think it falls back to the basic idea of "first things first."
There has been ZERO interest in doing anything with the Summer of Love, so it makes perfect sense to be pissed that January 6th is being made out to be Pearl Harbor and 9/11 rolled into one. We're not suddenly going to go back and investigate that summer and you know that.
Not saying you're doing this, but this is why the stupid notion of "whataboutism" is so pernicious. It sets up a system where one group or person is allowed to get away with something and when called on it act like it's not an issue, only to have their opposition do something similar and be called out on it by the first group. When the second group rightly points to the first thing they cared little about, the first group suddenly starts yammering on about a deflection and whataboutism.
The problem for The Left is that we all lived though 2020. We saw night after night, week after week, parts of the country burn to the ground and The Left either ignore it or openly support it. It's an easy comparison to make then to what was clearly far more mild a few months later. So if no one cared about the summer, why should I care about January?

His “above it all” faux superiority mixed with classic contrarian behavior is tiresome. He’s smart, sly, creative, and quick witted. No question. The issue is he is more concerned with being the smartest guy in the room and seeming reasonable while disagreeing constantly in a manner that leaves him in a no lose situation. Either he’s right or you are unreasonable / stupid so the argument is over and he wins by default.

“Fullest extent” leaves it up to politically motivated prosecutors and selected judges.
We have already seen this NOT happen to people showing up with actual guns and throwing fire bombs at Federal officers at a Federal building.
Sorry..people shouldn’t be sitting in jail for simply walking in a building and attempting to harm no person.

What was it when they attempted to burn down the Federal courthouse in Portland night after night with federal employees inside?

Wednesday needs to get laid
Back on topic: its really quite simple, the Democrats are in power and AG Garland is a political actor so the January 6th rioters are going to be put under the jail and paraded out in this Moscow show trial.
The Trump Administration caught flat footed and was out of power soon after the Summer of Love so the radical left got a pass. Local blue state administrations weren't going to do anything because they despised Trump and sympathize with the cause and were intimidated into inaction.

Watch "Capitol Punishment" and say that again.
Some of those people were on film being invited into the Capitol halls and stood there taking selfies and nothing more before exiting, and are facing 25+ years. Others never entered the building or even came into contact with LEOs and broke zero laws, and are looking at 5-15+ years. One pair of old ladies were arrested by the eff bee eye because they formed a big group prayer in front of the Capitol, and they spent $5000 each on lawyers to defend them against charges that the eff bee eye never even formally filed.
Meanwhile, literally thousands of anqueefa/BLM people that burned, looted, assaulted, destroyed and murdered in multiple cities from coast to coast, have had their charges dismissed.

Probably not as my affinity for Congress is in the negative territory. The difference in the 3 - the 2 you identified would have burned the facker to the ground
