The author is either a Nazi or a useful idiot for Nazis.
Interesting way the article writer chose to write "more than 1500"...
You're right, what is up with that shit? I can't tell if they're being snarky towards the nazis or the people who wanted them to see jail time. Newsweek sucks pretty bad, so I'm guessing it's the former. I could be wrong though and there's a rogue journalist.
Hmm. I remember seeing a lot of people protesting legally who got aggressively sprayed by cops acting beyond their legal authority. Not to whatabout but do we know that any of them faced criminal charges?
What happened on January 6 was an act of sedition, I understand. I don't think it's practical to whatabout scenarios that do not compare at all.
It didn't happen in isolation. It was a year of great civil unrest and massive actions both by and against the police. The way the police treated Jan 6 protestors and seditionists was wildly different than how they treated legal protestors the police perceived as being leftist. I'd still like to know: were any of those cops served criminal charges for much worse offenses?
