Those are facts one can verify or falsify. Therefore they are objective. Because different people can verify this event and what happened there independently and will find the same truth. But evaluating these facts is not part of truth finding. This is then a second step, where one takes a stance. To say it is a good or a bad action is a position, one can choose, depending on your liking. Fact is only what happened there. It is a fact, that members of the proud boys were there some of the leading figures. It is also a fact, that water freezes at 0°C and that it boils at 100°C, when the air pressure is around 1 bar. These are examples of truth. And anyone willing to do so can question such a fact and take it to the test. And when it is true, they will find the same result.

"To say it is a good or a bad action is a position, one can choose, depending on your liking." I do not talk about my liking, I'm talking about in the hands of law. Sure if you don't like the law - change it, but in order to escape the law of the jungle where the homo sapiens escape from, we have to live by rules called laws. And you still don't say the truth that the rioters killed American service man that were serving the nation and if these were some terrorists they will be shot by a firing squad on national television.
