Why No Shame?

[rightwinger]

Come on rw, don't play stupid. You are justifying the more harsh treatment at the same time you refuse to admit that the treatment is more harsh.


Do you admit that they are being singled out for especially harsh prosecution and charging?

Many BLM rioters went to jail

 

[Correll]

This one riot as you called it has the singular purpose of stopping the certification of a valid, legit election. Did that happen in any of the other riots?

So, to clarify before we move on, are you admitting that the 1/6 rioters are recieving extra harsh investion and charging?

 

[Zincwarrior]

So, you admit that the vast majority of riotes of that time period, were treated far less harshly?

To be comparable, you need to look at charges that were applied to other riots that broke into the Capitol (apologies for the earlier mispelling).

 

[Marener]

But they aren't. Tthat's the point.

I already asked “how so”?

He clearly committed numerous acts of violence. It’s on film. A lot of film.

 

[Correll]

He attacked a cop, yes.

They should be charged with what the DA believes they can convict on beyond a reasonable doubt. So far they have not lost a case that has gone to trial, so evidently they are charging properly.

Another poster said the 90% of teh fed charges for the left leaning rioters were dropped.


Barring the cop assault, do you support dropping the charges on 90% of the other 1/6 rioters?

Records rebut claims of unequal treatment of Jan. 6 rioters

It's a common refrain from some of those charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and their Republican allies: The Justice Department is treating them harshly because of their political views while those arrested during last year's protests over racial injustice were given leniency.

apnews.com

The AP found that more than 120 defendants across the United States have pleaded guilty or were convicted at trial of federal crimes including rioting, arson and conspiracy. More than 70 defendants sentenced so far have gotten an average of about 27 months behind bars. At least 10 received prison terms of five years or more.

Nope. Riots are riots. Cops in other cities. Courthouses. People's lives. This nation is a not a nation of fucking serfs, ruled over buy a few people in teh Capitol who really count.


But, you have been justifying the harsher treatment. Yet, you refuse to admit that there is harsher treatement.


Kind of... crazy of you. No offense meant. Crazy or dishonest.

I think they are receiving punishment that is in line with their crime.

90% of them have not even been charged.

You got a point to make, make it. A link is to support a claim YOU make in your own words.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Let’s stipulate (as a hypothetical) that he assaulted a police officer. If convicted, he deserves a fair legal sentence for that crime.

And yet, still, contrary to the absurd bloviation of Leftwhiner, the crime of assault still wouldn’t make him a “traitor.”

As a legal charge, Treason is specific and the prosecution did not charge such. but I have to post this meme:

 

[BackAgain]

He was attempting to overthrow our Democracy

He was? Hm. That’s odd. I don’t think you have any actual evidence for what he was doing or attempting to do.

Plus, of course, we don’t have a “democracy,” thank God and our brilliant Framers. We have a Constitutional republic.

 

[Correll]

I think they are receiving punishment that is in line with their crime.

So, where is the massive man hunt for the other rioters of the Trump years? Have I missed it?

 

[Correll]

90% of them have not even been charged.

Dude. Clearly I was discussing the ones that were charged. Did you not understand that? The difference in looking for them or filing charges, yes, that is a whole additional layer of injustice.

 

[Lastamender]

90% of them have not even been charged.

Remember that putz Merrick Garland is still looking for people that were there. The investigation is still open. So again you are speaking from your ass.

Maybe next time they will be smart enough to cover their faces and not live stream their crimes on FB

I wonder where they got the idea that such behavioro was acceptable?

Like Anti-Fa?

I suspect they had been told if they were able to stop the certification they would be viewed as heroes.

 

[otto105]

It is clearly a violation of the Equal Protection Clause, and thus, a massive INJUSTICE.



Do you support human rights, or just human rights for people you like?

No, no it's not.

One protest was to draw attention to police brutality in the face of the murder of George Floyd and the other was to overthrow our Democracy.
