If those were Black people instead of white on Jan 6th the national guard would have been called out and they would have been shot

True, and I have updated my response to include that concern, in my response to Owl Woman.

Thanks for reading!

These prosecutions have had a good deterrent effect on the rightwing fat asses who spent years on the internet blustering about second amendment solutions. Even when Trump begs them to "take it to the streets" and unleash violence, they choose to stay hunkered down behind the safety of their Cheeto-stained keyboards.

They certainly have quieted down a lot rather than strutting around in their camo and guns. Not a single peep out of the militias since Trump threw them under the bus a week after 1/6.

TBH, I'm surprised they haven't tried to exact their pound of flesh for Pedo Don's betrayal.

OTOH, maybe the militias like taking it up the ass from an old pedophile.

Proud Boys blame Trump as defendants prepare to find out fate in sedition trial
An attorney for Enrique Tarrio, the head of the Proud Boys, told jurors prosecutors were using him as a "scapegoat" for Donald Trump. Jurors will begin deliberations Wednesday.

An attorney for Enrique Tarrio, the head of the Proud Boys, said federal prosecutors were trying to make him a "scapegoat for Donald J. Trump and for those in power." A lawyer for Joe Biggs said the defendants came to Washington because their "commander-in-chief" told them it would "be wild," referring to Trump's infamous tweet on Dec. 19, 2020, that called on supporters to come to Washington on Jan. 6.

“‘Be there, it’s going to be wild,’ the commander-in-chief said. And so they did,” Norm Pattis, an attorney for Biggs, told jurors, adding that “their commander-in-chief sold them a lie.”
