Fox News’s Tucker Carlson on Monday highlighted the sentencing differences given across the country based apparently on political ideology.
Speaking with Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, Carlson said the QAnon Shamam will get three years behind bars for entering the Capitol building on Jan. 6., but a criminal who smashed a GOP senator’s office with an axe faced a relatively light punishment.
Fox News’ Bill Melugin tells Tucker Carlson about TPM’s report by @MrAndyNgo and @MiaCathell that revealed a man with ties to Antifa only received probation after attacking a Republican Senator’s office with an axe.

"This one right here is raising some eyebrows, with some questioning the treatment that federal government reportedly gave to a far left activist after he attacked a Republican senator’s office with an axe,” Melugin said of Antifa activist Alexander Starks, who attacked Sen. John Hoeven’s office in Fargo, North Dakota, in December of 2020.

“He later pleaded guilty to a charge of destruction of government property, and even though federal sentencing guidelines suggested maybe 10-16 months in prison, Starks was only given probation and a fine of about $2,800,” he continued.
According to The Post Millennial, Melugin said, the FBI even gave the axe back to Starks, who wrote about the incident on Facebook. “Look what the FBI were kind enough to give back to me,” he said, showing a photo of the axe.
“The treatment he received from the federal government has some crying foul, with constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley writing in part, 'Putting aside the light sentence, the returning of the axe is rather curious. It would seem an instrument of the crime could be declared lost in any plea. Instead, it was returned as if it was a form of political expression by the Justice Department,'" Melugin said. "Turley went on to compare Starks's light punishment to the so-called QAnon shaman you referred to at the top there, from the January 6 riots at the Capitol. We remember he received a 41-month sentence for obstructing a federal proceeding. Starks, in this story with the axe, only got probation and a fine.”
All the sentences and the incarceration so before sentencing are extremely disproportionate.
It’s communist dictatorship stuff.
Surprised the FBI didn’t sharpen up the ax and put a bow and ribbon on it when they gave it back to him.
A political, two-tiered justice system isn’t a justice system at all.
Just as a justice system that would punish one race more than another isn’t a justice system.
Just as a justice system that punishes the wealthy less harshly than average to low income people isn’t a justice system.
Justice seems to have overcome her blindness.
There is no longer clear definitions of right and wrong. Every institution has been compromised and perverted in some way. The rule of law does not exist, if your on their side your “innocent till proven guilty”. If your on our side your “guilty till proven innocent”. The Judges and Prosecutors have also been corrupted and are agenda, not the precedent driven. This is once again our fault, we allowed it to become this way. Voting will no longer fix this and in general honorable people do not run for office anyway. Everyone knows what needs to be done, but are fearful of taking action. If people had this attitude when our Nation was being colonized we would all be British Subjects today.
We don’t have a justice system but we do have a legal system.
I never lived in the USSR but I think I understand what it was like.
Alexander Starks - trashed a Republican congressman’s office in North Dakota - got probation and a fine.
Kevin Clinesmith - convicted of lying to the FISA court to start the “Russian collusion”-based spying on American citizens - got probation and a fine.
Jussie Smollett - plea-dealed a hoax hate-crime fantasy to probation and a fine.
Hillary Clinton - destroyed computer records in violation of statutes relating to the preservation of government documents - according to Comey, not even worth a prosecutor’s time to even seek probation and a fine.
See a pattern?
Of course it was a form of political expression, at least in the eyes of the Justice Department.
People do not realize the extent to which a communist revolution is underway, or that it is being led by staff in all the departments of the executive and legislative branches.
"Draining the swamp" is much, much more than electing a President. I do not believe the revolution which is underway can be defeated by what Lincoln referred to as "the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the Marshals by law".
If you want the revolution stopped, you'd better start thinking about what would have to be on a victory agenda.
One small example: It will obviously be necessary to dissolve the FBI and the CIA. Never mind the impossibility of support for this in any imaginable Congress. Suppose you overcome that, and you get legislation or an executive order dissolving them.
Obviously, they won't go. And they have quite an arsenal.
I don't have a solution - and I wouldn't post about it if I did.
But if you do not want a communist revolution to win, you'd better start thinking about the who, what, where, and how of a real swamp draining.
The FBI is a willing and active enemy of the Constitution and of the United States of America.
Why is the antifi attacker living
By attacking a US Senator, he forfeited his right to life
Well, he’s obviously on the FBI payroll. Once this Administration changes, I hope a glorious day of reckoning is coming for all of these people.
To paraphrase Tyler Durden; “Gentlemen, welcome to ANTIFA . The first rule of ANTIFA is: you do not talk about ANTIFA.”
This is the kind of story I wish elected Republicans would shout from the rooftops. Maybe some of the folks being dragged in front of that Senate Committee will hammer on this as an example of the type of conduct long tolerated (encouraged?) by Democrats that may have led the January 6 people to believe they were just playing by the same rules.
This guy seems pretty much par for the course.
“I never lived in the USSR but I think I understand what it was like.”
You live there now.
I don’t recognize my country. The Left has thoroughly soiled all that was good and decent.
But, most of Freeperdom will keep on voting; as if it matters.
I will never advocate for freepers to stop voting.
Vote while trying to change the system by other means.
WE all are
