Meanwhile, in California, a man drugged his 18 yr old daughter, raped her multiple times, and got--- wait for it---
a year in jail.
oh, and the daughter later committed suicide. :'(
One. Year.
texas has gone fucking insane. (and Cali, too)
If you're arrested for protesting, its better to plead to the lesser charge of attacking the capitol
If ONLY he had RAPED a Bunch of Children INSTEAD! Or MURDERED Americans INSTEAD! Or EMBEZZLED Billions of Taxpayer Dollars INSTEAD! Or
Amateur. He should've stormed Capitol instead and get praises from current government.
Now we have sentencing guidelines for when we re-try the Jan 6 Insurrectionists and the MAGA leadership for Treason, Murder, Corruption, and Pedophilia.
Can't retry the insurrectionists as per 5th Amendment's double jeopardy clause. They've already had their day in court, been sentenced, and had their sentence pardoned. Unfortunate, given the clear conflict of interest in the nature of the pardon.
Just lock them up and denied them trials. Works for ice
Maybe deport the insurrectionists to some sgithole country to work as slave labour
Ahh yes, I forgot about the completely legitimate tactic of the government shoving fingers in the ears and shouting "la la la, I can't hear you!" when the political undesirables show proof of citizenship. That should work.
Its worked for the past few months
Why change
Yeah, now we just have to wait for them to commit more crimes and go back to jail.
Last I saw, about 60 of them have already done that.
Reed O’Conner deserves to get every form of cancer, and even that would be too comfortable an end for such a piece of shit.
By which law? This?
18 U.S. Code § 1512 - Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant
(c) Whoever corruptly— (1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding;
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
I mentioned in another thread about this that they did use laws that were on the books but clearly gave disgustingly long sentences. Since it's "terrorism" they get to do additional bullshit; I was a teen in the Bush years but even I knew the whole anti-terrorism stuff was going to get abused.
The funny thing about the term "Terrorism" is that according to it's definition it can be applied to almost any belligerent in any international conflict.
Reminds me of the Haymarket Affair.
The reason the rest of the world celebrates May 1 as labor day - and the US doesn't.
