Jan. 6 convicts greeted with cheers (by federal prisoners): ‘There’s a patriot!’
Colorado Politics ^ | September 9, 2024 | Paul Bedard, Washington Examiner

Posted on 09/10/2024 3:38:30 AM PDT by DogByte6RER

When Nashville real estate broker and one-time House candidate Stewart Parks was convicted on Jan. 6 riot charges of trespassing and theft and sentenced to eight months in the Memphis Federal Correctional Institute, he expected the worst.

“When I went in, the plan was I was just gonna keep my head down low and good time my way out,” Parks, 31, said. “I wasn't gonna tell anybody like, ‘Hey, I'm Jan. 6.’”

Parks couldn’t hide his status, though, because when he was handed off to a Mexican American inmate leader to get him situated, the prison guard said, “Hey, he’s Jan. 6.”

Parks told Secrets, “Right then, my thoughts were, ‘Oh, my God, what's going to happen from here? Are there going to be political opposition groups in the prison that are going to make my life hard?’”

Just the opposite happened, Parks said, in a surprising pattern that others convicted of Jan. 6 charges have experienced.

He said prisoners “welcomed me in.” They made “sure I was comfortable and making sure my time in prison wasn't going to be difficult. So, that was a real shock.”

While talking politics in prison was a no-no, gang members of all colors wanted to talk to him about the 2020 election and former President Donald Trump. “I never had a fight or anybody, you know, put my life in danger or say anything insolent or menacing to me because of my involvement with Jan. 6,” Parks said.

He said one key reason is that inmates liked Trump for approving judicial and prison reforms, including the First Step Act. Prisoners also said the Federal Bureau of Prisons ran the facilities better under Trump.

“Things were better during the Trump administration, and the inmates felt it,” Parks said.

Not excusing the rowdies from that day, but this story regarding the others being punished for merely being in the vicinity reminded me of this:

Luke 23:41
"We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”"

Trump only signed prison reform because he knew he’d be serving time.

Hehehe. Winning.

The article says he is released, thank goodness.

Meanwhile, others are STILL held in jail awaiting trial!!!

Below is a news program from “Alpha News” about a Minnesota woman that was beaten by the police on Jan. 6th. She just got hold of badge cams showing the police beating her (one cop hit her with his baton 40 times and hit her face with his fists five times. All in the span of 3 to 4 minutes.

I think she said she had thought of doing a plea deal, but after visiting D.C. and a vigil outside of the jail where the others are waiting to be tried, she decided that she survived J6 (not killed) for a reason - and that reason was to fight.

I love the info panel (from wiki) that shows up under the video in the link:

On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., was attacked by a mob of supporters of then–U.S. President Donald Trump in an attempted self-coup d'état two months after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.

Well, the media mouths now say outright that Donald Trump lied about the election being stolen, when they used to say he "claimed" that. The more time goes on without them being called out on their dishonesty the bolder they've become.

Their plan is to simply say that everything Trump says is a lie.

Kamala doesn’t even have to defend herself.

So the torture and horrible conditions most of the J6 prisoners have and do endure are predominately within the DC and NYC areas. That’s quite the revelation learning that the average U.S. prisoner is far kinder and more civilized than the flying monkeys running the prisons in those cities.

Makes a person realize how truly turd-world those Hellholes are.

Trials involving DC politicians should be BANNED from being tried in DC.

And NYC should be evicted from the union.

From what I’ve read, normal prisoners there are not treated terribly, just the J6 prisoners.

I think J6 and the lawfare against Trump and his supporters has shown how corrupt the system can be. In this particular case, the DC prisons seem to reserve their corruption for conservative political prisoners. But I think that in other places there is corruption that targets normal prisoners. It all needs to be cleaned out.

Looking at Kamala’s prosecutorial history, the corruption of who gets stuck in prison is blatant also. Somebody posted an explanation of how illegals/gangs are used to do Black Ops that the Deep State doesn’t want pinned on themselves. These groups try out all different kinds of crimes and find out which ones get punished and which get rewarded. Then they do the stuff that gets rewarded, and it’s always hits against the political opposition of the prosecutors. Daniel Greenfield had an article that was posted yesterday about Kamala’s corruption.

All this needs to be exposed. Not just the lawfare and turd-worldism against Trump, but also how that same corruption is used to create an untraceable Black Ops crew for the Deep State. I think the Seth Rich murder could be a showcase on this issue. Prosecutory failure to produce exculpatory evidence - an issue which has put a lot of innocent Black men in prison - also needs to be highlighted, and we need to start throwing these prosecutors in jail with the same sentences that their convictees would have gotten. That includes the people involved with the Carter Page and Mike Flynn convictions at the very least.

Trump is good at finding talent, equipping them to do the needed task, and letting them do it. He needs to find somebody who would be recognized as an expert-from-experience regarding prosecutorial misconduct and prison reform, and put them on-board just like putting RFK Jr on board as head of either CIA or FDA/CDC/NIH.

Prisons For Profit displacing government run ones seemed like a good idea...until reports of abuses, over-crowding and corner-cutting came to light. They also accelerated the corruption of our “justice system”, replacing the goals of punishment and reform with pure profit motive. Hence we quickly became the world’s leader of incarceration.
