Just one man's observation:
Many of the same people who are now screaming bloody murder in self-righteous indignation over the U.S. Capital "riot" are the very same people who have either kept silent, supported, or made excuses for the never-ending riots, looting, ransacking, arson, shootings, physical assaults, defacing and toppling of statues and monuments and, yes, the vandalism of FEDERAL courthouses that have been going on nightly for months now in cities such as Portland, Seattle, and Chicago, et al. Officials in a couple of these cities have even allowed anarchists to take over and occupy many square blocks of their cities. There's just no excuse for any of it.
Personally, I was totally disgusted by what went on in D.C. - just as I have been and continue to be disgusted by senseless violence that has been allowed to happen in cities such as the aforementioned. There's no 'righteousness' in any of it.
EVERYBODY involved on either side flat-out needs to stand down. Period.
