Considering the attempts at blocking off exits and burning a police 
station, that was pretty bad... As was launching commercial fireworks 
into said federal courthouse in an effort to burn it down.  I seem to 
recall a federal detention facility was also attacked, one of the 
attackers shot/killed though.

Of course that doesn't include hundreds of police injuries, iirc over a 
dozen police deaths, hundreds of civilian deaths, some brutal, over ten 
thousand citizen victims, hundreds held captive in chaz/chop, thousands 
of rape incidents (who knew blm were rapist incels), billions in 
property damage, and so much more.

There were a handful of violent actors in the capitol riots (during 
daylight), I wouldn't exactly call it an insurrection though.

As to not getting in... maybe because one was proactively defended, and 
the other, they opened the damned doors for.
