A judge calls out the DoJ on their selective prosecution. This could end up helping a lot of January 6th political prisoners.

It is stupid to try and equate a riot in a city and the storming of the capital to try and stop the legal transition of power of the presidency of the U.S.
apples and oranges.
The riots did much more damage, and the Capitol wasn’t “stormed.”
oh that’s right it was just tourists.
“US Capitol secured, 4 dead after rioters stormed the halls of Congress to block Biden’s win”
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/politics/us-capitol-lockdown/index.html
That story turned out to be fake news. The only person who died was one of the unarmed “rioters” after being shot by a cop with a questionable history.
There was also no attempt to “stop the legal transition of power of the presidency of the U.S.” or “block Biden’s win”; the intent was to stop the certification of the vote until very real questions over vote irregularities were heard. Damn shame that neither of things was accomplished, we’d not be in the mess we find ourselves in now, I think.
Vladislaw, I’ll re-post your comment and include what you left out:

Beyond Rand’s point that nothing was “stormed”, there’s also the issue you seem squeamish about addressing: the intent of the “rioters in a city”. I’m guessing your mental image of that is a bunch of delinquents getting rid of excess energy. And that the “stormers” were the opposite: military aged males, tactically organized, well armed, etc. Of course that’s absurd, and I’m not going to spend any energy trying to enlighten you. I’ll just point out the first group were completely successful, the second group not at all. And ask you what future you think is predictable when people routinely see groups like the first one suffering no penalty at all (and indeed getting rewarded) while the second one is subject to extreme punishment? Don’t you think that future will include a lot more of what goes unpunished and rewarded? Or are you naive enough to think it’s just a future of less speech you don’t like?

I was thinking more along the lines of Cherries Jubilee and Bananas Foster?
