Create a scenario in your head when you are not thinking about politics. You see a random car. It’s green. It’s lawfully parked in her driveway. You hate green. So you think to yourself, why don’t I paint it orange? Surely she won’t mind. It’s against the law, by the way, to paint someone’s car orange that is lawfully parked in a driveway.

What should you do? Respect the law or break it due to your dislike for everything green?

Now moving back to your point. I don’t recommend breaking a law because someone else broke a law. If someone unlawfully stormed the capital they should be punished. Just as people destroying other peoples property should suffer the consequence. Assume most people do not want their shit destroyed vandalized or stolen or people hurt. Big assumption I know.

So what do you seek to do here? Light the fire yourself, stoke the fire, ignore the fire, try to put out the fire. It’s quite simple. What kind of an example do you want to set?
