More 'insurrection'

[jc456]

Wrong. I can easily expect lain why he is dangerous. He is pathologically dishonest and he uses his power to demean and troll people who oppose him. It has divided our country beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Instead of us discussing our differences and search for solutions together he has made half of America the “enemy”. The the partisan Dems are following suit. Our civil discourse has completely eroded and Trump is leading the charge

and yet you offered no defense of your opinion. amazing.

 

[jc456]

Got no issues with the protest except for the fact it was based on lies told by the president of the USA. The violence and lawlessness that stemmed from the protest is the issue and those are the people who were arrested. Trumps pardon is a complete disregard for law and order. Pathetic

initiated by flash bombs by police and FBI CI's inciting the violence.

Here's one, way harsh for what this person did. There are more but you don't really deserve me to do the work for you.

• Alexander Bennett Sheppard, 24, of Powell, Ohio, was sentenced to serve 19 months in prison, 24 months of supervised release and ordered to pay $3,170. He was found guilty of multiple charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding, and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.

Always happy to dig in to details. Thanks for posting something specific. you are the first to do so.

Can you explain why you think the penalty was too harsh and do you take issue with any of the details I posted below in regard to the facts of that case?

This is what I found when looking at Alex's case:

At Sheppard's sentencing, the Court calculated his guideline range, which was driven by the §1512(c)(2) conviction, at 30 to 37 months. Sheppard Sent'g Tr. [ECF No. 125] at 24:24 25:1. That range resulted from an offense level of 17 and a criminal history category of I. Id. at 24:15-24. After balancing the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, the Court determined an appropriate sentence was 19 months. Id. at 63:2-6. In crafting the sentence, the Court took account of Sheppard's extremely serious conduct.


Sheppard was convicted by a jury on five counts arising from his participation in the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. The jury found him guilty of one felony offense, obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(c)(2) and 2 (Count One); and four misdemeanor offenses, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(1) (Count Two); disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or ground, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(2) (Count Three); disorderly conduct in a Capitol Building, in violation of 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(D) (Count Five); and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol Building, in violation of 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(G) (Count Six). Judgment [ECF No. 108] at 1-2. He was acquitted of entering and remaining on the floor of Congress, in violation of 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(A) (Count Four). See id. at 1. This Court sentenced Sheppard to 19 months' imprisonment on Count One, twelve months' imprisonment on each of Counts Two and Three, and six months' imprisonment on Counts Five and Six, all to run concurrently. Id. at 3.

He was among the first of the rioters to enter the Capitol, and he joined others in overrunning police lines. He recorded a video of himself proudly proclaiming, “I'm here with some goddamn heroes, and we just shut down Congress. Let's ******* go,” it ends.

He videotaped fleeing members of Congress and staff, and looked on as other rioters violently punched out the windows of doors mere inches from officers' heads. Serious, serious conduct. And he posted some threatening statements on social media, including threats directed towards Vice President Pence, and frustration with Republican senators who certified the electoral vote. And he has continued to post prolifically on a variety of social media platforms to this day. ...

He watched members of Congress and staff evacuating the House chamber, and he videotaped their flight, although he has contended that he didn't know who was evacuating or who was moving in the video that he recorded. He screamed and shouted at the officers who were there as he watched other rioters shatter windows close to the heads of the officers, and that was taking place right in front of him.

Democrats with TDS, having the upper hand allowed to exercise power over MAGA with extreme prejudice is called persecution.

These are people who broke the law on video. Its prosecution and its law and order

 

[Slade3200]

The system in DC was prejudiced and biased. Not valid

Yet you can’t show a court case that wasn’t based on evidence of criminal activity. The only one you showed was a sentence that you thought was too harsh. Even though it reduced a 37 month sentence to 19

 

[Slade3200]

Since when did the Left become so concerned about violence against cops? Only when it was politically convenient.

Who cares why they are concerned. It’s irrelevant. Same could be said about the Right who supposedly care about the cops and law n order. The subject is t hypocrisy or why people are concerned. It’s whether law enforcement is respected or not

 

[Delldude]

Trumps pardon is a complete disregard for law and order.

Cry me a river.

Yes, you set a precedent in the summer of Love allowing rioters to destroy murder, loot and then be set free. Mr Shepherd had every right to protest what he perceived as a stolen election and a trial by democrats sentencing him to that long of a prison sentence was what you would call persecution. It's that simple, if you don't like it, tough shit.

When the court system is biased and Prejudiced it is not valid.

Haha, whatever you say bucko

Yes, leftists don't like to engage in introspection. Too many inconvenient truths to discover.

 

[daveman]

Scruffy said it and then you jumped in to defend him when I called him dishonest. You said that I was calling him dishonest for not agreeing with me. BS

You're really not very good at this. I was pointing out your definition of honesty requires agreeing with you.

And it does. Don't bother denying it.

The Right have more of a track record of supporting law enforcement. The only time we saw the Right get upset about law enforcement was when a J6 Protestor was shot unarmed - which, coincidentally, was the only time we saw the Left cheer law enforcement. Otherwise, the Left would burn down a city and hurl objects at police.

Got his so your going along with that precedent that you think was set to justify your own disregard for law and order. Got it.

Makes you an unprincipled hypocrite and no better than those you criticize

 

[Slade3200]

They can prosecute when laws are broken. That’s how it works

 

[Slade3200]

When the court system is biased and Prejudiced it is not valid.

That’s how you’re labeling it but when asked to back it up you come up empty.

You pointed to one case you thought was unfair but provided no reason why you think it was unfair. I posted the facts of the case which you still have t responded to.
