Sad, these people couldn't think for themselves. Taking orders from Donald Trump to over throw the government was treason.
Quote:
A Florida man who was seen carrying a large red "Trump 2020" flag on the floor of the U.S. Senate during the Capitol riot received eight months in prison Monday in the first felony sentence from the Jan. 6 attack.
Paul Allard Hodgkins, 38, of Tampa, was arrested Feb. 16 after the FBI received a tip identifying him among the hundreds of people seen in photos and videos inside the Capitol. He pleaded guilty in June to a single felony count of obstructing an official proceeding, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
"Although you were only one member of a larger mob, you actively participated in a larger event that threatened the Capitol and democracy itself," said U.S. District Court Judge Randolph Moss of Washington, DC.
"The damage that was caused that way was way beyond a several-hour delay of the vote certification," Moss said. "It is a damage that will persist in this country for several decades."
I expect this from the left's hypocrisy. I wouldn't expect any less. Of course those that looted and burned in the peaceful protests were free to go. Now, because we have Defund the Police because of it, we have people getting killed left and right. That's ok though. Hypocrisy much? Unreal.
It was not even an insurrection. But didn't the lefties have protesting in the capital last week or so which was defined as an insurrection. Any arrests with that?....of course not.
And yet all of the "Free Thinkers" who spent several weeks last summer going on their summer tour of Vandalism, Riots, and Arson..oh and declaring themselves no longer part of the United States, go unpunished and in many MSM circles cheered for their actions.
As long as criminal rioting on both sides of politics is treated equally, then that's fine.
Everyone who broke the law in the BLM and Antifa Riots gets one year minimum.
Congresswoman Joyce Beatty and the illegal trespasses she led on July 15th all get one year minimum.
You do the crime, you do the time. If we can agree on that much, then fine. But Democrats seem hell-bent on cutting loose criminal insurrectionists consequence free and I'm not okay with that. We are either nation with laws or we are not. Right now, it's looking like the law only applies to one side and not the other.
