It's good that he's going away for 22 years. However, the sentencing guidelines called for between 324 to 405 months (27-33 years) so by the Judge's own calculations this is a miscarriage of justice and yet another right wing domestic terrorist is being handled with kid gloves. Fucking disgraceful.

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 27 points 1 year ago

Sentences can include upward and downward departures from the guidelines based on the circumstances of the case. It's also important to remember that the guidelines are non-binding on judges.

[-] PR3CiSiON@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

So it's like the guidelines are just guidelines?

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago

2 decades is 2 decades. And, it's not like when he gets released he'll be hailed as a hero. Trump will be dead, most of his supporters will probably be dead of old age or COVID. The rest will be too embarrassed that they voted for him to admit it.

When he gets out he'll be 60. Having spent decades in prison, he won't be able to retire, and will probably live out the rest of his life working menial jobs that hire ex-felons until he dies in obscurity.

[-] Squirrel_Patrol@lemm.ee 78 points 1 year ago

What's even better is him thinking he's not going to be in prison long because Trump is going to win the next election and pardon him. My brother, there's a greater chance of Trump becoming your cell mate.

[-] cogman@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

Yeah... Even if Trump wins there's no way he remembers or cares about anyone involved in Jan 6.

These guys are way more screwed than they realize.

[-] steltek@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Trump is a narcissist who cares about image and the cheers of crowds. If pardoning J6 traitors gets him that, he will do it.

Unfortunately, it could happen.

Most of the country is dealing with a 30% to 50% cost of living increase, and they're going to blame Biden for it. Trump got elected the first time because 6,000,000 were foreclosed upon when Obama was president.

[-] MoistMogwai@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

It's possible, but as much as people are exhausted with Biden, nothing would get blue to turn out to vote like another chance of Trump. Blue would vote for a tent full of mosquitoes if it meant voting against Trump. Trump supporters have gotten more fanatical, not more numerous. Some of my own family members are currently in orange pill recovery. Not to mention all the Reds that died of COVID denial. Then you factor in young people now eligible to vote skewing blue. The only person I think Trump could beat honestly would be Hillary. Red would show up to vote against her if not for Trump.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

That was the argument people made for Hillary's certain victory on Election Day, that the notion of Trump being elected would mean a huge Democratic turnout.

Thing is, people aren't going to give a shit who the candidate of change is when they can't afford their grocery bills, and Trump isn't going to have to lie about how little Biden has done to alleviate people's poverty.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago

I didn't vote when it was Hillary or Tbag. I hated both. But I'll keep voting to protect against him happening again. It's exactly what the dems are counting on, and it's unfortunately working on me.

Still waiting to see who I'll vote for in primaries, though. My vote only counts there in my state.

Couldn't have happened to a prouder boy

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What an achievement. He should be a proud boy.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 year ago

Federal informant, and still get 22 years?? Congrats on playing yourself, Ricky!

[-] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's a long time to fester in a place where they love rats.

Waiting for Trump to be all "When we retake what's rightfully ours, I'll make sure those who were wrongly imprisoned by Crooked Joe Biden are exonerated as the patriots they are!"

[-] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

Those in prison can't vote so Trump will just write them off as useless.

Should be 222 years. Rot in cell, traitor.

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago

LOL GET FUKT TRAITOR!

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Traitors only get 20 years? Dang, soft punishment for treason, but at least it's something eh.

[-] LufyCZ@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Don't think you understand what 20 years in prison looks like.

I don't either, but it sure would ruin my life

[-] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago

"Only" 20 years? There can be whatever number and people will still say it is too little

[-] Monkeyhog@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Historically, people who attempt to overthrow their government get death. Hell, they still execute Guy Fawkes symbolically every year. And all we do is put them up in prison for 20 years? We've gone soft.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 11 points 1 year ago

they still execute Guy Fawkes symbolically every year. And all we do is put them up in prison for 20 years

Yeah but in reality the UK doesn't have the death penalty for any crime anymore, including treason.

Meanwhile the US regularly executes people for a single murder.

Guys losing 1/3 of his adult life, and won't get out of prison before his 60s. I'm extremely anti-j6, but 22 years seems like a nice hefty sentance to me

Mark my words they'll try and break him out.

Don't trust these fuckasauruses to play by the rules.

[-] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

They're fascists - the rules exist exclusively to protect them, and subjugate those they don't like.

They play by the rules - it's just their own rules that boil down to toddler-tier "I win."

I'm glad the fuckasauruses are turning into foundoutasauruses.

[-] remer@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

Good. Fuck that guy.

[-] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Not a fan of incarceration or the police state, but sometimes you just gotta vibe

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Some people are too dangerous to be allowed to roam freely. Rapists, murderers and insurrectionists are all examples.

May he die from an embarrassing and uncomfortable medical condition exactly 5 minutes before release.

I saw numerous videos where these guys went out of their to beat the living shit out of blm protestors (not rioters), while calling people antifa - who clearly weren’t, in broad daylight, and nothing happened to them. I can only imagine if I were one of their many victims, that seeing this would be give me some great pleasure. Especially since the “fuck around and find out” rallying call was the thing they said as the brutalized people who were simply protesting brutality.

[-] MossBear@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Delightful!

[-] suction@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Stand back and pick up the soap, nutty. I hope they send him to wherever they lock up the Bloods and Crips gang members they arrest, maybe he can explain to them how he's not a racist.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 year ago

I don't think it's helpful to society to joke about prison rape. We shouldn't make light of such atrocities.
