Rioter who stole badge, radio from beaten officer on Jan. 6 gets more than 4 years in prison

Just tell us how you really feel.

That was how I felt. "Fuck your democracy."

I know. Your kook ideas can't survive the majority and therefore you have no use for democracy.

Democracy is mob rule. It's the tyranny of the majority, which is why we're a constitutional republic.

Did you sleep through civics class or something?

 

[Winco]

Meanwhile BLM rioters get off scott free after burning down city blocks.

Nothing to see there.

Are you suggesting that ZERO BLM rioters were charged and convicted?


There were also J6 rioters that got off 'Scott free"

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Should have been ten years.

Democracy means one person, one vote and what the majority decide is what goes, gets implemented.
Our democracy is compromised and perverted by the influence of big money on elections. Say thanks to our corporate SC and Citizens United. The cost to run for public office is ridiculous, so only rich and well connect individuals can overcome that problem. Trump** being a millionaire and celebrity isn't exactly the outsider you believed him to be. And it turned out he was nothing than a self dealing crook who lied to the county and betrayed his oath to uphold the Constitution.

** impeached

Which is true for those who attended the J6 rally at the Ellipse and even who marched to the Capitol.
Those few ...1,100? 1,200?...who have been arrested, tried, convicted, committed crimes and are being justifiably punished. Which our law-abiding society wants and expects.

The convictions and sentences are a ...Victory for America.

IMHO

LOL. So now you are admitting that they were mostly peaceful protesters and not insurrectionists and not sent by Trump to overthrow our government?

 

[bdtex]

Another victory for democracy.

His words:

“It was an attack on the institutions of our democracy and not as some would make you believe legitimate political discourse..."

He did not admit any such thing. The voices in your head are talking to you again.

Ah, poor poster Independent, don't do that. You are disappointing us. We expect better from you.
I struggle enough with the English language without having some anonymous posters using fake names to then go and insert words into my mouth., and suggest I said things that I did not say nor intended to say.

But back to those J6'rs.
I believe the majority of people who attended the Ellipse rally and even marched towards the Capitol did not commit criminal acts. The vast majority. Many of them were there for a 'Trump Rally' only, Front Row Joes, there for a party. Many of them were merely tourists and bystanders who just witnessed the attack and the criminality and then left without participating.... other than being present.

However, there were some organized groups of individuals who committed crimes (leading members of the Proud Boys, Oathkeepers have been convicted of seditious conspiracy and vicious physical attacks on uniformed officers).

There were malicious knuckleheads who brought weapons, and MACE, and protective gear....itching for a conflict. Some of them hit a cop, sprayed a cop, kicked a cop, vandalized the Capitol, stole stuff from the Capitol.

There were angry 'in-the-moment' TDS'rs ---Trump's Duped & Snookered --- who thought they were following the leadership of Don Trump, and committed a crime by entering a restricted space, doing so with the intent to stop the official count of Electoral Ballots. Maybe they pooped in the hallways, maybe they stole a laptop, or paraphernalia, but did not hit a cop.

For those criminal attackers who intended to keep the current Administration in place by stopping the Constitutionally mandated peaceful transfer of power.....it was an insurrection against the American Constitution and our way of governance.

Golly, I hope I am clear on that.

Which is why we are not a democracy. Imagine, if you have the capacity, that 51% wanted to reinstate slavery or remove womens’ right to vote. Is that the system you want?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Cultist.

When rightwing domestic terrorists are lawfully convicted of their treasonous crimes, it’s a victory for democracy and a defeat for the illiberal, anti-democratic, authoritarian right.

Disappointed YOU. Everyone else knows I speakum truth.

“A New York man who stole a badge and radio from a police officer brutally beaten by other rioters during the attack on the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Friday to more than four years in prison.

Thomas Sibick, of Buffalo, pleaded guilty in March for his role in the attack on Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone, who has described fighting for his life to defend the Capitol as lawmakers inside fled from the angry mob on Jan. 6, 2021.”

I have news for you, hillbilly: Your so-called "democracy" is nothing but a regime filled with corrupt leftists, socialists, neo-Marxists, faggots, cross-dressers, child-molesters, and toadies of the CCP. In case you never learned anything about history, fascism always tends to follow decadent, perverted administrations.

This was evident by what happened after Germany's Wiemar period, the election of Reagan after Carter, and the election of Trump right after Obama. So ask yourself these two question: At what point in our history are we now, and who is waiting in the wings? I hope you enjoy the next 4-8 years of Trump, DeSantis, or whomever GOP candidate sweeps the election, but you probably won't.

So once again, fuck your "democracy."

 

[Zincwarrior]

Yes everything you post is indeed AntiAmerican.

 

[JGalt]

America is not a "democracy." And I'm far more American that you are, neo-Marxist. How many guns do you own? I'll match them two to one. Are you even a property owner? Did you serve in the military?

I voted for a self-made successful guy who wanted to Make America Great Again. You voted for for a demented pedophile who craps in his pants, took money from China and Russia, and who believes that making America great are curse words.

See the difference?

I am a competition shooter. Just because you aren't doesn't make you AntiAmerican.

My family has owned property since before there was a United States in Louisiana. Just because you haven't doesn't make you AntiAmerican.

Typing things like "fuck your democracy," makes you AntiAmerican.

Which is a democracy. At least until you destroy it.
