Probe all rioters equally

I applaud the federal government their very thorough investigation of those rioters who stormed the Capitol building on Jan. 6. Subpoenas, warrants and drone footage are useful tools in the arrests, indictments and convictions of these criminals.

I expect that the investigation into Black Lives Matter and Antifa will be equally thorough. These two subversive groups directly caused over $1 billion dollars of damage to private and governmental properties. They are responsible for approximately 12 deaths and hundreds of police officers being injured. They burned and stormed government buildings, set fire to police stations attempting to kill police officers that were trapped inside, attacked police officers causing great bodily harm, burned and looted hundreds of privately owned businesses and literally took over towns through the use of violence.

The Jan. 6 incident needs to be investigated. The yearlong rioting by Black Lives Matter and Antifa deserve equal scrutiny. Justice is supposed to be blind. Politics should be ignored and the voice of the people should be heard. Those businesses that were destroyed by BLM and Antifa should be compensated and made whole.

I don't ask for any special privilege here. I ask for justice promised to all Americans.
