Yet another grain of sand on the infinite beach of liberal hypocrisy.
Last summer was a lie, this thread is how they really feel.

A guy who spent 3 years in US jail without trial after allegedly stealing a backpack.

No, they aren't. They're stupid people who took literally some hints dropped by an unscrupulous con artist and committed crimes in the process. If the crimes in questions hadn't been an attempt - however Marx Brothers like - to stop the peaceful transition of power, they'd be home now.

But they did what they did, it just so happens that we consider entering the US Capitol while yelling death threats on a different level than trespassing the property of the local 7-11, and so we have to crank up the entire legal machinery. Because they were - I might have mentioned this - stupid. In their actions, in their choice of cause, in their choice of leader.

They don't deserve to be treated any worse than any other inmates. But if US jail conditions suck, well - conservatives own a good deal of the responsibility for that, and there are conservative posters on this board who have relished in the thought. If they want to push for reforms to the system - I think that's an awesome idea, and I can only wonder what took them so long.

They are total hypocrites.

I am pro law and order. Period. I don't care if we are talking about the people illegally entering the capitol building, or some crack addict on the street who robs people. They can all go straight to jail, and if they resist in any way, they can get their asses beaten as far as I'm concerned.

Liberals seem to only be pro law and order when it is white people being arrested.

I predict most will plead guilty to misdemeanors. Overzealous LARPers.

Absolutely. A few posts back a poster went on and on about growing up in NYC , and abuse in jail.

NYC is exactly where I learned to respect the Police, and conduct one self as an honest citizen.

And if one was stupid enough to be a jerk , one had to deal with the consequences. And the unpleasantness of the experience was enough to straighten many young people out. It didn’t matter what color you were. If it didn’t , that was their problem.

The understanding was, if you resist, you got beat. 1970’s New York City . No picnic.

Sure, because it was the anti-trumpers that acted first....I'm going to assume that you just forgot about that.

Kinda like the guy who charged the stage while trump was on it....

But I guess that was also trumps fault.

And CNN promoted this violence....the left supports all this.....

It should be mentioned that being labeled an "insurrectionist" on twitter is not the equivalent of being convicted in a court of law.

Only 20 of the men were arrested and all were acquitted or pardon. So yes I would it was going very lightly on a large armed group in rebellion.

I feel similar about illegal aliens. They need to be taken into custody and shipped out. I'm more bothered by a million or so invading our country every year than the one off protests invading the jerk offs in the Capitol.
