It isnt long. But on the other hand its good to see that even a minor player in that drama is getting jail time. I would hate to think any of those people got a slap on the wrist and sets a benchmark for the real heavy hitters in this thing. Maybe even those who stirred it up.😷
I agree same with all the BLM riots, too. I remember that guy who put all his savings into a brick and mortar business, just to get desecrated @whowasthatmaskedman
@pianoplayingsteve While I completely agree that the BLM looters also deserve severe punishment for their crimes and those business that suffered should be recompensed, that civil disturbance was not aimed directly at bringing down the government. It was wrong. It was a crime. and it should be punished.. But the comparison of the two fails on a few counts. One can even say those riots caused way more damage to property and therefore they were more severe. But they were not a direct attack on Government.
@whowasthatmaskedman no, they were just an attack on innocent citizens and free trade. If I had to choose between giving a harsher sentence to those that a) attacked a building where millionaires send other people’s children to die in unneeded wars were situated b) those that spent over a year attacking innocent people and demolishing businesses I’d go with B
@pianoplayingsteve Morally, I agree with you. And both are wrong. But legally, our government does have the right to a higher standard of protection. Equally, they should be held to a higher standard of accountability that seems to be sadly lacking. Maybe this lesson from the people will teach them something. I wish I really believed that.😷
They are both wrong, yet with the BLM riots, the media presents it as positively as possible, and Kamala Harris, of all people, bails them out. Whist the same media acts like with the jan 6 event, the holy shrine of humanity was attacked and to this day go nuts about it whilst portraying the death and destruction from months of BLM as ‘mostly peaceful’ or just about ‘racial justice’ means. I’m sorry but the combined fact of how long the BLM riots went on for, how much death and destruction it caused, how much the media lied to give them a free pass I think that if the US had even a shred of justice then all those rioters would be in jail AND the media ideologues who pushed for it and the democrat senators who pushed for violence should all be put in jail. And ion top of that apparently this is fine because it’s the left:
In America there is constant talk about wanting to avoid division. There would be so much less division if people on the left were not given a free pass to divide people. The government should be held to a higher standard but no. You need to realise that these ideologues on the left don’t care about being consistent, or fair, or facts, it’s just power and forcing things with bureaucracy to them. Which is why they constantly accuse everyone else of belonging to some some sort of tyrannical patriarchy.
