    What the fuck is this? I’m not one for cruel and unusual punishment but these people will be able to make another insurrection by the time Trump loses in 2024 with these sentences. What the fuck? The point is to deter insurrectionists, these light ass sentences won’t do shit.

      Loads of the big guys are in for years. Sentences depend on what they did, I imagine this guy didn’t do much

        Just being there should earn you 10. What would these people who “didn’t do much” have done if their plot was a success? No one there was benign.

            Hey I’m not Israel, I exclude the press by default. Someone needs to document this for high school tests in 100 years, thats the only place this knowledge seems to be used anyway.

          If you were around protesting and not breaking any laws you shouldn’t even go to jail. It’s not be back or white

            They were insurrectionists, they werent there doing nothing. As soon as they stepped foot inside the capital it should have earned them at least enough of a sentence to miss the next 2 elections. These people were here to usurp our nation and ya’ll were like “Nah some were just there bein’ chill”. Thats not how that works.
