    I feel like you are not aware of how long of sentences people are getting for tresspassing. For example the shaman I think got 42 months for entering a building and acting like an idiot.

      Trespassing might have been the charge if Congress weren’t in session. It was.

      He pled guilty to obstruction of a federal proceeding, under 18 USC 1512.

      Max sentence is 20 years. So 41 months seems about right. Now that’s an example of “finding out”.

        He pled guilty because he was going to get stream rolled. So you think its fair to get 41 months in prison for trespassing?

          Trespassing is when you break into an empty federal building. What he did went way beyond trespassing. Like I said, the charge was obstruction of a federal proceeding and 41 months seems about right.

          When government officials can’t do their job because of you, things get very serious very fast and feds don’t play around. Just ask Martha Stewart, formerly inmate #55170-054, who made the mistake of sending feds on a wild goose chase.

            The obstructing federal proceedings is just a bullshit charge they use to make it sound worse. My biggest issue on these riot charges is how you guys yell about how bad it was but then ignore the george floyd riots. You guys only care about jan 6th because it is an example of why you dont mess with the federal governemnt in dc.

              Plenty of people went to jail after the George Floyd riots. Unlike right-wingers, I’m not obsessed by setting criminals free.

                How many people went to prison for George floyd riots vs jan 6th? For jan 6ht I think its 500 or so have gotten prison sentences, and George floyd they didnt do much convictions. Shouldnt they be targeting a lot more for the group that did an actual insurrection in CHAZ?

                  I have no idea how many went to prison.

                  If you think the feds should have targeted CHAZ a lot more, blame the idiot who was in charge of the feds at the time.

                    From what I can find, 467 or so jan 6th people got prison time and the only number I can find is 70 george floyd rioters have gotten prison time. Do you get how uneven that is and those numbers should be flipped if not more?

              as someone excited to see police precincts burn, I have to reluctantly agree a bit. riots are fair play as far as I’m concerned, and having the libs criminalize this shit feels like another knife in the back.

                Its just uneven justice. People will on one hand complain about how many people are in prison, and then cheer a multi year sentence for breaking a window at the special people place of work.
