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.

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

It’s such a weird thing, we can still joke about rape - but only if it’s happening to men in prison.

imho it’s the perfect intersection of “I don’t care if shitty things happen to people I hate” and “rape on men isn’t as bad”.

Kinda like ppl who exclusively misgender asshole trans folks on purpose?

Plus some irony 'cause the guy’s a massive homophobe.

Note that I’m not saying the dude’s underserving the hate coming his way. He worked extra hard to earn every picogram of it.

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.

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.

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.

He was an informant right? Distasteful as it is, informing has to be publicly seen as providing a tangible benefit, or future criminals wont talk

He wasn’t present on the 6th because he was banned from the city for prior actions. But he was instrumental in organizing the whole thing

“During the sentencing, US district judge Timothy Kelly, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, said the evidence suggested Tarrio was “the ultimate leader” of the seditious conspiracy, “the ultimate person, who organized, who was motivated by revolutionary zeal”.”

I can think of someone else, Judge Kelly. The tangerine nightmare that appointed you.

Funny that you get downvoted like that. Trump wasn’t posting on the Proud Boy’s page to plan the attack, he’s the match that set the gas on fire, he’s not the guy who spread gas all over the living room… He always has the possibility to deny everything and say he didn’t expect them to be dumb enough to actually attack the place because that would be sedition/treason and only an irrational idiot would do that! Where’s this guy organized stuff and put his plan to execution… He’s the irrational idiot…

Trump and the people in Trump’s immediate orbit were in direct or very close indirect contact with all of these groups. They knew exactly what was going to happen. In addition to the normal nutty Trump crowds they reached out to these psycho fascist militias and told them to be there to “fight like hell”. People like the Proud Boys know exactly what an invitation and rhetoric like that mean. This was not a rally that got out of hand. This was all planned out and coordinated with other schemes like the false elector scheme and the Georgia phone call. This was deliberate and planned. Trump is an idiot but he knew what he was doing. This has all been documented in the impeachment hearings, the Congressional Jan 6 investigations, and the recent indictments.
