    Padilla went on to say that for a few months after Jan. 6, he was not as remorseful as he is now, referring to social media posts that called for violence. “Remorse is rarely immediate, sir,” he told Bates.

    Everyone’s sorry once they get caught.

      And they go right back to shouting “Trump won” after they think they’ve fooled the judge with their crocodile tears. No mercy for traitors.

      Probably only sorry because he realized this entire movement was a sham and he was duped.

        did he though? From what I’ve seen/heard, many of them would rather see themselves as martyrs / victims than admit that they’ve been duped
