The Proud Boy sentenced on Friday reverted to true colors as he was being led away to prison, despite having claimed he was a changed man.

    They need the max sentence, every time. None of them are sorry; they’re just telling the judge what they think he wants to hear. They might as well not be sorry making license plates for a decade.

      they’re sorry they failed. Sorry they got caught, and sorry they’re being held accountable.

      what they’re not sorry about is trying to fucking overthrow the lawful government of this country. So yeah.

        Nobody’s talking about mandatory minimum sentencing. I do agree with you BTW.

      The judge can call a hearing based on his actions, and re-sentence him. It’s already happened to at least one of these chucklefucks

              That sounds like a foreign language.

                Is common English foreign to you?

                gotcha noun

                : an unexpected usually disconcerting challenge, revelation, or catch also : an attempt to embarrass, expose, or disgrace someone (such as a politician) with a gotcha

                Used in a sentence:

                Oh what a gotcha.

                Totally forgot ten years isn’t a decade.

                    You’re right, please forgive me. Let’s put the spot light back on you.

                    What’s this charade the judges are playing by sentencing these people for decades again? Obviously ten or more years is a short time. What’s the grift?

                    I think the point is that people perceived your first post as a statement coming from a right wing conspiracy nut. With this post it’s clear that you mean that there is a political bias in favour of the defendant.

                    heck, many times the US simply assassinates people on the left before the can become defendants!

                    Got any examples?

                    That’s a bold claim. People such as…?

                    this is starting to feel like I’m being sea-lioned.

                    A bullshit term made up so people can pretend to be victims when other people ask them questions. It’s not “sea-lioning” when you come out of your little bubble for a few minutes and nobody has any idea what the fuck you’re talking about.
