More domestic terrorists face the music for their actions.
And when convicted by juries of their peers, they run.
Not so proud after all…

It was always more about vanity

One day of madness turns into 10 years of prison time and a lifetime criminal record.
John
And compensating for something. Fat white men get to play army without the commitment and sacrifice of actually serving in some cases.
In others, getting back the sense of purpose and belonging that they missed since leaving (in addition to the conspiracy bunk and the white nationalism).

The MAGA defense and if Trump wins this year expect a pardon and elevation to martyr status.

The oddest thing is that those supporting these ‘proud boys’ are always the first to justify the consequences of not following police orders. Well, here you go.

It's hilarious listening to the preposterous MAGA narrative that Jan 6th was a "leftist inside job" when all the defendants being led off to jail are Proud Boys, Neo-Nazis, and other blinded hard-core Trump supporters...
And it won't be long before the Ultra MAGA Insurrectionist himself will be sitting in a cell beside them...

Bye bye MAGA ganger..

That can eventually be expunged one day
John
Um, no. Unlike your 30 prison sentence for unspecified traffic offenses, felony convictions don’t just get expunged.
And what a defense!
Not “He didn’t do it!”
Not “there were mitigating circumstances.”
He can get that expunged.
What a pathetic deflection.

Pardon in the near future.

Why would you want to defend and expunge the record of a dirt-bag that attacked police officers doing their duty to protect the Capitol?
You must believe like him these law enforcement officers are "commies" and "scum"...
Typical MAGA respect for law and order...

I doubt it. Even if Trump becomes president he won't pardon hundreds of criminals from the Jan 6 riot and looting.
John
Accepting a pardon is a legal admission of guilt.
“expunged” lol.
Bob Fosse
Why are you defending someone who attacked cops? You usually don’t.
What’s different?
Jimizo
Absolute moron.

It's not a defense, sorry bud.
What's different with the far left extremists that you supported, who attacked cops in BLM protests yet did not receive lengthy prison sentences?
John
Tactical vests and armor to hide their expanding bellies. He-man beards to hide their diminutive chins.
“Expunged” felony convictions to show their “patriotism”…
Compensating insecure morons one and all.
John
is that this one is a white trump supporter. So it’s ok ,for his cultist rubes anyway).

Because I don't believe the lengthy charges handed down were justified to the vast majority of individuals who were caught up in a riot.
No, but I do have a lot of perplexing questions for this admin that when asked always seem to dodge them.
But libs defying subpoenas, burning down police stations, attacking and beating up judges in a courtroom, that's somehow acceptable....
I don't.
Yeah, the same was said about Flynn, Stone, Bannon...etc....

Now you admit it was a riot.
bass4funk
You are right, this is way different.
From Pelosi not providing proper security, from the cops allowing the protesters to enter the Capitol, from the video footage of people walking in peacefully, to Ashley being shot, Ray Epps, the unwillingness from Wray to admit to how many informants were in the MAGA crowds, a lot of questions that were not answered.
A lot of people in this admin are.
John
Charged, tried AND CONVICTED by a jury.
So your “feelings” are irrelevant.
He’s a felon and like the coward he is, he ran away.
bass4funk
I never said it wasn't in the end. Definitely wasn't an insurrection by any stretch of the term.
Cards fan
Only if the party of "law and order" wins.
What happened to their tough on crime stance?
lincolnman
But on this post YOU defended THIS guy - who attacked police officers, then ran out on his bail...
So why are you defending HIM?
Prove it...
BINGO! "Defying and violating a subpoena" - you mean those Libs Trump and Jordan...ROFL...

You posted many times that it was people exercising their rights and nothing more than trespassing.
