    Seattle is about 88 sq miles. A bunch of people blocked off 1/4 of 1% of 1 sq mile and mostly had a hippy dippy protest that didn’t harm anyone. During multiple days there were a few incidents during which a tiny number of people hurt each other or did bad shit and people were in fact charged.

    Meanwhile Jan 6th was about overthrowing democracy and installing a dictator. An act which would almost certainly have lead to civil war, killed millions, and destroyed out economy. You need some perspective.
