That's pretty straight forward. As for the brown shirt reference, it may not read right but I was referring to the protestors, not the Justice Dept. in that comparison. And it is strictly a historical comparison. The brown shirts were protestors used to shout down, silence, and obstruct opposing views from their party, much like Antifa et al.

For my new answer, yeah I would find it problematic if prosecution varies depending on political stance of the offenders. For sure. I still find it quite justifiable to prosecute Capitol stormers with more vigor, since the crime is far graver still. In the same sense as a bank robber is usually prosecuted with more vigor than someone stealing a candy bar, even though both things are crimes.

Again, not to diminish protests in front of private homes as being miniscule like candy stealing, for one it's morally reprehensible. But there's a difference in severity of a crime (I tend to agree with your interpretation, thanks for posting the word of the law, it appears to me you got that right) and hence there can be some difference in vigor from the prosecution's side.
