You're viewing a single thread.
WHEN (not if) these right wing fucks try to over throw the government again, we will only have ourselves to blame for it.
These traitors should have been given the harshest penalties possible - put them up as an example to deter others. Instead, example after example, these POS are given slaps on the wrist. We are essentially encouraging others to try again because the general public has forgotten about this event, the media never took this as seriously as they should have, and various government agencies not escalating the punishments being levied.
They'll all wear their prison sentences as badges in 5 years. You're looking at future senate candidates.
It would have been a massive difference if those fucks were getting 10 or 20 or more sentences.

"We" who? I didn't vote for any of these dicks.
But did you vote against them?
It's reconstruction all over again.
Longer sentences don't deter crimes. What deters crimes is certainty of being caught. We need to get them ALL, even if it's for a little bit.
