Nathan Pelham got into a standoff with law enforcement this year after he learned he was being charged in connection with the Capitol attack.

    The ones that take a plea bargain are getting reduced penalties, because they took a plea bargain. The ones that don’t, aren’t.

    Do you think they should have all been executed?

      “Reduced penalties” shouldn’t be two years. Especially after shooting at cops. A plea bargain should result in a lesser sentence, not a ridiculously lesser sentence. May I remind you that these people tried to overthrow the U.S. government?

        Alternatively, you could educate yourself on how Federal Sentencing guidelines work & quit shooting the messenger?

          How many other people die by cops for having something that looks like a firearm in their hands?

          If the justice system in the states was consistent he would be dead.

      I do indeed think every last motherfucking one of them should be hung by the neck until dead dead dead.

      The PTSD that day laid on me, my god. The rage, hate, fear, revenge lust, I feel… Can’t even watch a few seconds of video from that day.

        Is this an intentional robert anton wilson reference? If so - Kudos! If not - Double Kudos for the accident.
