If Trump is found guilty for inciting violence on DC, can we try those who incited violence against our federal buildings last summer?

Question

I hope trump is found guilty and forced out of politics, but I sure as h---- do not respect or support the violent riots we saw across the country last year either. In fact I would like to see the leaders of last years riots locked up in the same cell block as the leaders of the attacks on the congressional building.

I am not a vindictive person, in fact we could supply them all with baseball bats and baseballs so they could all play together and find common ground.

We could, should and frequently do.

There were thousands of arrests last summer during those riots. When someone is arrested, they have to go to court. Perhaps you are not familiar with how our judicial system works. Those who damaged property, etc. were not just left alone to do whatever they wanted or go on about their lives.

Why would you have to do one to do the other?
If you have evidence of the specific people who did specific violence last summer, I am sure the FBI would want to speak with you.

A leader has greater responsibility, go look up biblical leadership, more is expected from a President.
