No one doubts you can. However, some of us have calendars that have moved past January 6, 2021, mostly because those people have been prosecuted for their crimes, or are being prosecuted for their alleged crimes. Whataboutism alert: Unlike the majority of the BLM and Summer of Love looters, arsonists, rioters etc.

The majority of George Floyd protesters were not rioting. Your biased media consumption is showing.
Maybe not the majority, but enough to damage over 200 Federal buildings nationally and damage or destroy 1,500 businesses in the Twin Cities alone with very few prosecutions. How many buildings were damaged on January 6?
By "all the coaches", my experience is limited to the coaches of my kid's teams and during the period of time when I had oversight of them, all our club's competitive-team coaches.
Thanks for clarifying.
In '68 I was a Nixon man, but because I had lived in 4 states that year, I was not registered to vote in any of them (as I have reported before in this forum -- doesn't your perfect memory include that?).

Your article claims 300 cases for BLM riots. There are at least 1500 cases for January 6. Considering the significantly greater numbers involved in all the BLM riots and the fact that 200 federal building were damaged and 1500 businesses damaged in the Twin Cities, its laughable that you think there is any equivalency. You might want to Google a more current article. Just FYI over 2,000 participated in January 6 and its estimated that 15-26 million participated in the BLM riots.Records rebut claims of unequal treatment of Jan. 6 rioters

What was the goal?
I thought you said you were a Nixon man. I didn't want to accuse you of voting for Wallace
My memory is far from perfect. You know things are slowing down when you walk out to the storage area but can't remember what you need in storage. What made you go for Joe and the Dems for the first time?An overwhelming majority of the participants were peaceful protestors, not rioters.

For some reason that point isn’t getting across.
To interfere with the operation of our government and to create chaos in civil society...in both cases. And Ive condemned both and not tried to rationalize by claiming the protestors were mostly peaceful.

you two are still stumbling over each other - it's still so dang cute.
The protests were not mostly peaceful. Mostly peaceful protests don't result in thousands of damaged and destroyed buildings and businesses and a couple dozen deaths. Overwhelmingly peaceful protesters may not have lit a match but they allowed the destruction to unfold in front of them, or at least failed to call out the individuals who were committing the crimes. Mostly peaceful protests is leftist jargon for protests with violent acts. Violence is violence. Claiming they're mostsly peaceful is like claiming your sort of pregnant.
Your opinion is noted.
I'm puzzled over your use of the word "stumbling" there.

"I just can't quit you" comes to mind.
A more current article, as you requested --
"in fact, over 10,000 protesters were arrested, most for low-level offenses."
Fact check: Thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters were arrested in 2020
Estimates put the cost of protest-related damage in 2020 at about $2 billion. But it's wrong to say protesters didn't face consequences.
