    Two years? TWO YEARS?!

    This is fucking nuts. These people took part in an insurrection and they’re all getting slapped on the wrist, even after they get into a standoff with cops trying to arrest them.

      Any lawyer on any non-violent case where their defendant is looking at more time than these chucklefucks have done, In my view, has an absolutely valid case to say that their defendant should not serve more time than a convicted insurrectionist.

      And, thereby, the system is broken.

      And the doucheburger that incited it is still enjoying his shoe leather with ketchup on the beach.

      While I agree 2 years is not long enough, the shooting at cops was while they were doing a welfare check because he was suicidal. Not when they were going to arrest him for Jan 6th. He told his wife he was gonna suicide by cop.

        I guess I was confused because part of the article made it seem like the welfare check was somehow in relation to the January 6th thing.
