Those who didn't trespass or commit any other crimes aren't in jail. The problem are those who broke the law in order to try to overturn our election. The media does indeed say how and why the violence started -- and you can watch it play out in real time in the videos. The crooks who stormed the Capitol as part of the planned Putsch put Capitol police in a position where they had to use stun grenades, pepper spray, etc., in order to try to defend the lives of our representatives. Thank goodness they succeeded.
At this point, what really worries me is that this will be like the Bierhall Putsch. As you'll recall, the Nazis launched a 1/6-style attempt to seize the government, which failed when authorities on the scene managed to push them back. But, unfortunately, the traitors were given mere slaps on the wrist, despite the fact the Putsch, like the one on 1/6, had turned deadly. Even Hitler himself got nothing but a few months in jail, during which time he was allowed to write Mein Kampf and to continue rallying his political movement.
What happens when you let such people off without serious consequences is that they see it as an invitation to try again, and next time they will be better prepared. A decade after the Nazis failed to seize power, they succeeded, and the rest was an unimaginable catastrophe for all humanity.
Will we make the same mistake? It certainly seems possible. The ring leader hasn't even seen a day behind bars, this time, so we're doing even worse than the German authorities did with regard to Trump's predecessor.
You truly are an idiot.
