In pronouncing the sentence, Judge Randolph Moss said that Hodgkins had played a role, if not as significant as others, in one of the worst episodes in American history. Still he chose to give Hodgkins a year less in prison. “That was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a protest,” Moss said. “It was … an assault on democracy.” He added: “It left a stain that will remain on us … on the country for years to come.”

Upon my recent research about the construction of the Constitution, I found this anecdote from Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the Democratic-Republic (present Democratic) political party who favored states' rights and opposed the Federalist party that advocated for a strong central (federal) government.

Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is a medecine necessary for the sound health of government.

You forgot the good part: as a felon he loses his voting rights!



But as the first to plead out, he likely received the mildest sentence.

Why would you find humor in that?

The Democrat agenda is opposed to eliminating voting rights for felons!

What happened to defund the police and empty our jails?

My, how things turn on a dime.

Great quote… I believe we are seeing the spirit of this played out with the racial issues and protests we’ve been seeing all summer. The capitol situation is a different beast as it was built on a foundation of outright lies. People truly believed that Trump has an election stolen from him and that Pence could block Bidens certification. This lead to attempts of treason and sedition.

95% of those have been attacks and destruction against the PEOPLE. Not the government.
You obviously do not understand the quote.

I think I would have to agree with you, especially, if the defendant can prove a good employment record and was not a person who initiated a breaking an entry, but just followed the crowd.

Both parties have varied laws on felons in each state.

He will probably get his voting rights back after he gets out.

Don't do the crime if you can't handle doing the time.

Ignorance and or stupidity are not defenses in a court of law.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Did the guy break in or was he allowed in by police as some video demonstrates?
If he was allowed in, how can he be convicted of touring the capitol?

Thats good advice

But notice I’m not saying that the ft pelosi pranksters should get off scott free

The judge is out of his mind

 

[Flash]

He is a political prisoner held by a filthy Socialist regime.

We see this kind of oppression in other Socialist countries.

Despicable!

Meanwhile all the goddamn Negroes and Communists that spent six months looting, rioting, burning, murdering and destroying with their treason are home free.

If he did this in NYS he’d get a $50.00 fine and get a holiday named after him.
