First victim of political prosecution of 1/6 receives sentence

[anatta]

Don’t think the sentence is a tad excessive for someone who did next to nothing?

Why not a $1000 fine and probation? Why is it necessary to destroy him? When can we have some *equity* in our legal system by applying the identical sentencing standards regardless of ideology? They having some trouble finding left wing radicals who engage in actual violence?

give him time served, or maybe a year, and the rest suspended.
This was a non-violent charge. 19 months is insane

[anatta]

He’ll do 180 days in jail, pay a fine and be on probation for a couple of years. My prediction

sounds fair

Which the prosecutors have requested.

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Obstructing proceedings. How about the many left wing protestors tried to obstruct the Kavanaugh proceedings?

Over 200 were arrested for attempting to obstruct the hearings. None of them were armed. No Senators had to flee the Senate chamber because of them. No police officers were injured.

as he has no previous arrests.

His lawyers argue Hodgkins did not engage in violence or destruction, but prosecutors say he brought a first aid kit and came prepared for violence.

a first aid kit ? lol

Which the prosecutors have requested.

i didnt see where they wanted any time suspended

[AProudLefty]

a first aid kit ? lol

What is it for?

The 38-year-old pleaded guilty last month to one count of obstructing an official proceeding, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Federal prosecutors are asking the court to sentence him to 18 months in prison, a less harsh penalty, as he has no previous arrests.

LOL. You're funny.

There are plenty of first aid kits everywhere at the Congress that are easily accessed. No need to carry one.

You know very well that the guy expected violence and injuries, which DID happen.

i have a first aid kit -doesnt mean I expect violence -means Im prepared for anything.
if he had a weapon then ya -off with his head

[LV426]

conjecture -unsupported. the guy was not violent

Attacking the Capitol was a violent act against the peaceful transition of power.

And you were behind it 100% because you thought it would succeed.

I don't bring a first aid kit everywhere.

Besides, there are plenty of first aid kits everywhere at the Congress that are easily accessed.

[LV426]

becaue the capitol riots are now heavily politicized of "white supremecists" while ANTIFA tying to kill cops is acceptable

It's not antifa killing cops, it's your "very fine people":

All you do on JPP is lie.

You lie about everything.

If his coup had succeeded, what would have happened?

That is what the sentence should reflect.

Okay. They are still asking for 18 months. So it's reasonable.
