    Any lawyer on any non-violent case where their defendant is looking at more time than these chucklefucks have done, In my view, has an absolutely valid case to say that their defendant should not serve more time than a convicted insurrectionist.

    And, thereby, the system is broken.

        There are a lot of people in jail for over a year because they don’t have $1,000 to get out. They haven’t been charged with a crime yet. (Spoiler alert: They’re not white)

        Some of them die due to neglect. So. There’s that.
