A judge playing a central role overseeing the criminal cases stemming from the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol building has forcefully rejected claims from many alleged rioters that they’re being treated more harshly than people who broke the law during the widespread protests that arose last year in response to the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Speaking during a sentencing hearing for Capitol riot defendant Glenn Croy, Chief Judge Beryl Howell disputed the notion that participants charged in last year’s unrest were treated leniently. She also insisted that the motivations of those involved rendered the Jan. 6 attack a far more grave event.
“For people to say people who participated in the protests of the summer of 2020 got no jail time, that’s not my experience in my court,” said Howell, who added that she’d sentenced a man to more than a year for breaking a bank window and walking inside.
“He took nothing. I gave him 16 months,” said Howell, an appointee of President Barack Obama. She added: “He wasn’t disrupting a constitutionally mandated process. ... My experience was felony prosecutions in this court and lots of jail time.”
“The goal of a lot of protests in 2020 was to hold police accountable and politicians accountable for police brutality — and murder, in George Floyd’s case — and to improve our political system. What happened on Jan 6 is in a totally different category from that protest. It was to stop the government from functioning at all to stop the democratic process and it worked,” Howell said.
“They’re not comparable.”

Yeah well, I reject her rejection of the obvious truth here. What’s going on is selective prosecution and selective punishment based entirely on the politics of those involved. No matter how much she wants to claim otherwise, we can all see that it’s obvious BS.

Black robed tyrannical treasonist
Do none of these people get Jury trials? Under the 5th Amendment these people deserve jury trials of they don’t waive that.
This Judge must be allergic to the truth

Howell: "Mr. Croy, stand up!"
Croy: "I'm sorry,your honor, I don't have the strength to stand as they only gave us about 600 calories per day in the camp, er, jail. I am down to 85 pounds and very weak."
Howell: "How dare you say such a thing about our beloved jails! Liar! It is your type of filth that undermines our state and the people's confidence in our Leader! Stand, you swine!"
Croy: "But your honor,..."
Howell: "Officer Fisher, correct this prisoner!"
(Sounds of a thorough beating and cries for mercy.)
Howell: "You come into my court and lie about the plush accommodations the state has given you while you wait for the completely justified punishment coming your way! I'll show you what real punishment means!"
John Roberts could put a stop to this. Sadly, he probably is cheering these black-robed tyrants on.
She's an Odiousbama stooge appointee.
She's a Commie show trial joodge.
A DC jury is hardly a jury of a patriots’ peers.
I can only hope when the worm turns, these 1/6 victims are able to sue and win huge, life-changing settlements in court.

Black judge? Did I guess right?
She’s as smart as she is pretty. No brains, no looks. She’s overqualified to be a democrat judge.

And this is how most conservatives think of the Federal Judiciary.
