Did you read about the leader of the Proud boys?

[msc545]

Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys, was sentenced on Tuesday to 22 years in prison for the central role he played in organizing a gang of his pro-Trump followers to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power.

Even I think that this was perhaps a bit excessive... and I am a Democrat who can't stand Trump...

[lightbulb27]

no. quite a read... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrique_Tarrio

22 years in prison and $1million fine (for other offenses). wow! I doubt the people that attacked Portland and DID take it over, got it that bad. I wonder...

Make those in power scared, they will slam ya! Always been that way. The old castles used to have dungeons.

Make dang sure you pay those taxes fella... that's whats important to keep "the beast" alive...

We have people walking around NYC with multiple bodies on them playing the knock-out game on 80-year-old ladies and they don't get a tenth that. There's something wrong here.

Meanwhile leaders of Antifa and the protestors who were literally trying to beat down the Senate door during the Kavanaugh hearings were never arrested or given “catch and release.” It’s a two-track justice system and the outcomes let everyone know who is in power and who is not. This is why I tell people who are opposed to the current elites to stop protesting. If there are agitators there, whether independent or working undercover for the Feds, you can end up out of work, or on the no-fly list, or in DC jail. It makes no sense to run headlong into the USG buzz saw.

He's a fucking immigrant anchor baby with a previous criminal record, pretending to be "All American"

It's no wonder, people laugh at the American right, the irony is always lost on them. The Republicans tend to attract the worst duplicitous schizophrenics America has to offer.

[msc545]

I guess even duplicitous schizophrenics need people to hang out with.

He was born in FLORIDA!

[BigDog1989]

Got what he had coming to him. How to take out the snake? Cut its head off. He was just one head on the many headed snake that is the trump cult

A bit much for organising a peaceful protest. Antifa rioters get a slap on the wrist for burning down black neighbourhoods, but judges don't tend to jail privileged middle class white college kids.

[msc545]

It was not a "peaceful protest" but this guy also wasn't even present for it.

[Drewtate]

The law is subjective. Trump may not have been in the building when he was supposed of raped that 80 year old writer

[msc545]

I don't think he was in the building. I think she lied.

[Drewtate]

She did have 5 million reasons to lie.

[msc545]

Absolutely she did.

He is basically a political prisoner.

[msc545]

What he did was wrong. I just don't think it was 22 years wrong. Maybe 10.

[exitseven]

People that rob banks don't even get ten years. He is being politically persecuted just like Nelson Mandela or Lech Walesa.

[Anonymous]

Then he'll get Epsteined

[msc545]

I don't think so. I certainly hope not.
