It was also an insurrection:
Insurrection, noun
1: an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government

The usual connotation for a riot is that it was unplanned.
The terrorist attack on the Capitol was gamed out for months beforehand.
Nazis always love to deny their crimes. The J6 denialists are just like the Holocaust deniers.
Remember, remember this 5th of November, The Jan6 treason and plot. I know of no reason the Jan6 treason, Should ever be forgot.
The fact this is an actual headline is depressing as hell.
