Three F**ckin years for trespassing????? This country is doomed.

 

[Mosinitis]

This is a free country only for those who have $$$$$$$$$, not the peasantry. Lady Justice can take off her blindfold and use it as a tampon.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

So by that standard the people who burn cities should be locked up for life right?


Oh, wait. It's politically motivated punitive measures against the right. Got it.

 

[tirwin1]

The hypocrisy is outrageous but all too predictable.

He can claim religious persecution.

If you pay taxes and own part of that building is it really trespassing g?

I'm not saying whether or not the actual charges were, or if any charges would be, just, but.. no, none of those people were charged with trespassing. I assume both of you are actually just being a bit colloquial here, but I believe the terminology here matters as trespassing is a very specifically defined term in the law.

Here's a seemingly comprehensive list of actual charges.

Many of those charges, at least the non-violent ones, in my opinion, should not be things that are against the law. Also however, I find it pretty hypocritical of people on the right to defend a lot of the actions of many of those folks or pretend like it was just people standing around peacefully.

In all due respect, this is a strawman.... where is anyone doing what you said? What some did that day was criminal and I would bet a poll here would reveal 99% of us would be up for proper punishment for said.

People on the right? Are you on the left, middle, up, down, all around? I am on no scale... never considered myself on the right, JUST RIGHT! lol

 

[Mosinitis]

There were a lot of people at the top egging them on. I will not name names, we know who they were. As always happens in this country the people at the top get away with anything and shift the blame on those below them. This happens pretty much in every big scandal. This is why I turned my back on partisan politics.
Go fight like hell for me and I won't even give you a pardon. People see that.

I think its bullshit to get 3 years for trespassing but I am glad that asshole got it.

In many cases alot of the people in the buildings were standing around peacefully. I thought the picture of the "insurrectionists" calmly walking between the roped lines in the capitol building rather telling.

Having said that, they should not have gone in. The people that broke windows and/or doors to get in should be arrested and convicted.

I am having a particularly difficult time getting all riled up against these people when authorities allowed cities to burn in the prior year with no consequences for the people involved or the leadership. Antifa and BLM openly and actively encouraged these actions and the democratic party leaders openly supported them.

The double standard is what people find infuriating. And there is no doubt in my mind the people that have been arrested and are sitting in the DC jails are political prisoners.

 

[Dr. Evil]

How many years did they give the cops that removed the barricades to let people in?

Or the FBI operatives who led them in.

The people who denied them entry into their House should be arrested and convicted first.

You are correct. I did not know what he was charged with and was responding to the post above about it.
He was charged and convicted of attempting to stop the electoral college vote.

 

[GOPerfect]

So, makes no difference if I agree to the sentence or not...

But this was not a trespassing conviction.

Jacob Chansley, pleaded guilty in September to obstructing an official proceeding, not trespassing.

At least that conviction bears some resemblance to the actual events in the real world. Even if the sentence is ridiculously out of proportion.

None of those guys did anything that merits more than "time served" at this point.

Possibly. I do not know enough of any of their cases. This one in particular, don't care for him, the way he lives or the way he looks.

He's a whackadoodle for sure, but he's been behind bars for 6 months at this point.

Pretty sure none of them did anything that merits more than that Except the ones who beat the cop with the fire extinguisher, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't anywhere near that.

Not arguing this. I just don't care enough about him to care about him.

Pitiful, weak little man.

Trespass the capital dressed as a beach viking, get locked up for months, and go away for 3 years.

Shoot a fellow classmates in school and be home for dinner the next day.

The democrats Jan 6 committee will of course never address the conduct of the DC police described here:

Freedom, Liberty, blah, blah, blah. It was never the case in this country. There isn't a single example in the U.S., where people stood up to federal or state government and won. Just one case of local government in small town in GA. It was tried many times, but every attempt was crushed by murders, violence, arrests and imprisonments. Peaceful protests are just an opportunity for people to vent and corrupt politicians to grandstand in front of crowds.

 

[BerettaGuy]

Yet this guy has never been arrested!
Can you say FBI Informant? I know that you can.....
