It’s certainly not unprecedented. Leftist Maximilien Robespierre, the French Revolution’s main author, was a passionate capital punishment opponent who called the death penalty a “cowardly assassination” — he then went on to execute thousands during his Reign of Terror. Likewise did the liberals of decades ago frown upon punishment, sometimes saying it “doesn’t work” and is “morally wrong.” Boy, has that ever changed.
Now, Frenchie Max style, punishment’s effectiveness is not only a self-evident truth to leftists, but it can’t be harsh enough.
That is, when it’s the “right people” being punished.
A good example is the recent sentencing of “Proud Boy” January 6 defendants, one of the latest of whom got 17 years for an incident in which no “one was killed, no property was significantly damaged, nothing was set on fire, nobody whipped out a gun, nobody got taken hostage, [and] no mass casualties were strewn through the streets,” as commentator Monica Showalter put it Friday.
In contrast, Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters routinely get off with minor or no charges.
The Hill reports on the aforementioned J6er who had the book — and a few addenda — thrown at him, writing that Florida Army veteran and “Proud Boy Joe Biggs on Thursday was sentenced to 17 years in prison, the second-highest sentence handed down to anyone convicted in connection with the Capitol attack.”
“Biggs was convicted of sedition and other serious felonies earlier this year after being accused of leading members of the right-wing extremist group to the Capitol and talking with the first rioter to breach police barricades just minutes before he acted,” the site continues.
Also sentenced Thursday was Proud Boy Zachary Rehl, an ex-U.S. Marine; he got 15 years after a conviction for leading a mob toward...

“Why if my wife were around here she would punch him out. Hard.”
Sadly, probably not but hope springs eternal. Evil should always be punished.
“A criminal complaint said Kaine and others changed into black clothing during the rally and entered the Capitol. One person threw a smoke bomb. The complaint said Kaine was among those who ran away and resisted arrest.”

Dear Whatevers:
I will not be making any political contributions except to Donald Trump until all the non-violent J6ers are free.
“According to Kravitz’s order, on December 12, 2020, several people in Proud Boys regalia ‘leaped over Metropolitan AME’s fence, entered the church’s property, and went directly to the Black Lives Matter sign. They then broke the zip ties that held the sign in place, tore down the sign, threw it to the ground, and stomped on it while loudly celebrating.’”

“The charges against Biggs are ‘conspiracy, obstructing an official proceeding, obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, destruction of government property, entering and remaining in a restricted building and disorderly conduct in a restricted building.”

“By offense type, the median time served was 17.5 years for murder, 7.2 years for rape, 17 months for drug trafficking, and 9 months for drug possession.”

“During his trial, Rehl painted himself as a family man. He has repeatedly denied assaulting officers, even as he was confronted with video of him spraying law enforcement officers with chemicals.”

Whatever we’re up against, it’s not a civil war. Not when you’re up against both sides.
“On June 7, 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Kelly to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia”

Where’s Bill Richardson? Oh wait..
The article fails to reveal that t he J6 trials are poliitical show trials, designed to doiscourage poutright protest against the leftist communist junta now running America in violation of many artocp;es of our Constitution.
We should not rest untilPresidemt Trump is epected and we request that he pardon Joe Biggs and many others, or communte their semntences t9o time served.
We should not allow such tyranny to stand.NOr should we accepgt he erroneous conclusion that the 2020 election was won fairly without fraud. THe voting in the 5 swing states was c;early won with illegally packed ballot boxes. Why should not every American protest the way the J6ers did?THese trials purposeis to deter thse who would exercise their Constitutional duty t9 do so.
THe next J6, if it is needed, will not be quite so peaceful.
That’s how I feel about “land of the free and home of the brave.” I can’t say it or sing it without choking.
Its not about justice - its about propaganda, gaslighting and intimidation.
[BLM Rioters Walk]
That’s how insane things are. Burn cities, loot, riot, assault and yes, even murder.
The overwhelming majority of them were not even charged.
I’m concerned that BLM will start riots again soon to blackmail corporations into giving them money so their leaders who didn’t get mansions in the last round can have them now. And their current mansions cost more to run and upkeep than they thought. And don’t forget that Christmas looting season is almost upon us.
They are all in on it
