“ Pelham paced outside, holding a gun and yelling at police. He eventually went back inside and fired the gun several times. For their own safety, police left the property that night, and let Pelham sleep off his drinking."

WHAT THE FUCK?!

    Are you suggesting the police take action against every drunk, gun waving neo-nazi who threatens them?!?

    They'd never get any extra-judicial killings, corruption, or asset seizure done.

    Two years? TWO YEARS?!

    This is fucking nuts. These people took part in an insurrection and they're all getting slapped on the wrist, even after they get into a standoff with cops trying to arrest them.

    Any lawyer on any non-violent case where their defendant is looking at more time than these chucklefucks have done, In my view, has an absolutely valid case to say that their defendant should not serve more time than a convicted insurrectionist.

    And, thereby, the system is broken.

    People get more than two years for getting caught smoking a joint for the third time.

    There are a lot of people in jail for over a year because they don't have $1,000 to get out. They haven't been charged with a crime yet. (Spoiler alert: They're not white)

    Some of them die due to neglect. So. There's that.

    If this prick were black he'd be in prison for life.

    While I agree 2 years is not long enough, the shooting at cops was while they were doing a welfare check because he was suicidal. Not when they were going to arrest him for Jan 6th. He told his wife he was gonna suicide by cop.

    The ones that take a plea bargain are getting reduced penalties, because they took a plea bargain. The ones that don't, aren't.

    Do you think they should have all been executed?

    "Reduced penalties" shouldn't be two years. Especially after shooting at cops. A plea bargain should result in a lesser sentence, not a ridiculously lesser sentence. May I remind you that these people tried to overthrow the U.S. government?

    Alternatively, you could educate yourself on how Federal Sentencing guidelines work & quit shooting the messenger?

    I do indeed think every last motherfucking one of them should be hung by the neck until dead dead dead.

    The PTSD that day laid on me, my god. The rage, hate, fear, revenge lust, I feel... Can't even watch a few seconds of video from that day.

    I really enjoyed this little tidbit "Pelham paced outside, holding a gun and yelling at police. He eventually went back inside and fired the gun several times. For their own safety, police left the property that night, and let Pelham sleep off his drinking." He shoots at police and they "let him sleep it off", any POC would be dead as a doornail if they so much as thought of the word gun in the presence of cops. But a white male insurrectionist can just sleep it off. This country is truly fucked.

    They completely destroyed someone's house with a tank ram when a shoplifter ran inside to hide unarmed.

    Can’t let anyone get uppity and let others think they can steal a little from Big Business. If they get away with that it will be chaos and the end of the world. That deserves instant, swift, and harsh punishment.

    This dude just help threaten national stability of the country, that’s all. And those cops didn’t want to wear masks anyway.

    There was that shooter in Maine(?) who [over a six month period] got reported to the local police by his family, his friends and his co-workers. The cops went to his place once, he refused to talk with them, and they just shrugged and walked away.

    If the mob were really progressives or antifa, they’d have a machine gun nest firing into the crowd before they ever stepped on the stairs. And that’s not saying POC. Just progressives as a whole.

    "the FBI special agent said, and one of the officers said a shot “came in so close proximity to myself that I could hear the distinct whistling sound as the bullet traveled by me and then strike a metal object to my right side.”"

    Is this real? They didn't charge him with a crime for this? Is his dad the mayor?

    wow, he shoots at cops and they leave? As a result of shooting 12 rounds at cops he gets 2 years. Just, wow.
