Report Reveals Shocking Double Standards For Bringing U.S. Rioters To Justice

The sheer similarities and differences between what happened with and to the participants of the 2020 riots compared to the January 6 riot and rioters are, frankly, shocking.

Despite the far greater violence and destruction the 2020 rioters perpetrated, the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation haven't hunted those rioters down with anywhere near the vigor and vim used against what are in many cases at most trespassers.

While some law enforcement officers were certainly injured during that riot, the numbers and severity are far below the law enforcement injuries from the 2020 riots.

Little ink has been spent detailing far-left extremists involved in the 2020 riot who unequivocally did far more damage and engaged in far more violence than what happened at the January 6 riot.

Finally, as January 6 rioters and even those present that day who only nonviolently entered the U.S. Capitol are hunted down, charged aggressively, and left in jail for months on end, the 2020 rioters have not been similarly hunted down and charged.

The approach to and outcomes for the 2020 rioters as compared to the January 6 rioters vividly highlights America's justice system now has two standards of justice based on the party affiliation of the prosecutors and the alleged perpetrators.

The dissimilar treatment of 2020 rioters and January 6 rioters is fracturing that foundation more with each passing day.
