Don't you dare tell me the right is patriotic!

80 years in fucking prison for exercising a Constitutionally protected right!

In an Unprecedented Court Escalation, Trump Protesters Could Be Facing Decades in Prison for Inauguration Demonstrations
A frightening crackdown on free speech is underway across the country.

Nearly six months after Donald Trump was sworn into office, more than 200 protesters who gathered in Washington, D.C. to protest his inauguration are facing felony charges that carry sentences of 70 to 80 years.
​

Conservatives don't love this country, they hate it! They are criminalizing a core American value............dissent.

Really? You can't read? Their own article says 10 years. And, if the allegations are factual, that these were paid rioters who traveled to the venues to instigate a riot then i say hell yes. Ten years is too short a sentence for that fucked up behavior. They harmed REAL people who were doing nothing other than living their lives so yeah, fuck these pricks. They are not protesters, they are paid political agitators and they SHOULD be in prison.

"212 protesters were arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department and initially charged with felony rioting, a crime that carries a 10-year prison sentence and a $25,000 fine. On April 27, the Superior Court of the District of Columbia added additional charges that include urging to riot, conspiracy to riot and destruction of property."

Their rights end where everyone else's begin.

They blocked access to buildings, closed streets and destroyed private and public property. That's not protest. That is riot.

Is that 80 years in prison?

It is whatever the law allows, and the judge decides.

If there's a problem, change the law.

 

[airplanemechanic]

So libtards, "conspiracy to riot" "destruction of property" and "felony rioting" are constitutionally protected acts?

Please, by all means, show me the amendment!

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

How do you know?

From the statements of the people who were there.

One thing is a fact, some of these people are facing 80 years in prison. Do you think the punishment fits the crime?

Yeah....and everyone in prison is innocent.

[Billo_Really]

Nowhere in the Constitution is violent rioting lawful

Yeah and Article 8 says no one should be subjected to "cruel and unusual punishment".

You think 80 years in prison is okay?

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Yeah and Article 8 says no one should be subjected to "cruel and unusual punishment".

Indeed. Perhaps an amendment IS in order after all.

Didn't see 80 years. They have been charged not sentenced.......................

They broke shit and violated the law..........and will get their day in court................if they are innocent........then they will do no time..............The American Way.

They are looking at TEN years. Get a fucking clue, clown.

I think you should let it play out and see evidence instead of running around in hysterics

"Olivia Alsip, a 23-year-old from Chicago, told Al Jazeera she never envisioned participating in the anti-Trump protests on inauguration day could leave her facing an 80-year prison sentence."

Is she lying?

They aren't going to get 80 years.
Unless of course they committed multiple felonies.

It is whatever the law allows, and the judge decides.

Article 8 of the US Constitution says no one should be subject to cruel and unusual punishment and you're such a fucking loser of an American that you can't even weigh in on that.

If you've committed 8 felonies and they each carry a ten year sentence then yes you should be facing 80 years.
Of course they wont get that many years as my link pointed out.

What punishment..............hmmmm...........show me those sentenced by the courts..........

Waiting...............

 

[Billo_Really]

Yeah....and everyone in prison is innocent.

70% are there for victimless crimes.

You are proof the right hates Americans. Here we are, the most incarcerated country on the planet and as soon as the right takes control of the country again, they don't think there's enough people in prison?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

My husband used to work in the State's Attorney office, it's common to tack on any charge that fits, then work a plea deal

 

[Billo_Really]

Says the un-American.

It says it in the first fucking paragraph of the article and again from a direct quote from one of the people being charged, how could you possibly miss it?
