zilch for the Epstein-class rapists.

and damaged their property, Trump would have given them pardons and a couple of million dollars.

then they loosely associated everyone else at the protest with the shooter. What a bunch of bullshit. Fucking fascist pigs

Shocking. Not.

FORT WORTH — Federal judges in Texas on Tuesday gave eight members of an alleged “antifa cell” prison sentences as long as 100 years for their roles last summer in a protest that turned violent outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

Murderers get lighter sentences. Shit in the Capitol and beat Police officers and get pardoned.

I can't condone the actions they took beyond the 1st amendment protected protest, but 50 & 75 years is utterly preposterous.

they'd be standing in line for hand-outs from the admin and starting book tours about now.

Sending a goddamn "message"

Lives ruined for the sake of trump and his bastard army.

Two of those convicted are trans women. Their chances of surviving in a men's prison, or surviving solitary confinement with a shred of sanity intact, are slim. Those are effectively sentences of torture.

And one of the guys, a husband of one of the protesters, wasn't even there.

The ninth defendant, Daniel Sanchez-Estrada was not at the protest, but was convicted of corruptly concealing a document or record after prosecutors said he moved leftwing zines and other materials at the request of Rueda, his wife, after she was arrested. Sanchez-Estrada was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Tuesday.

For rearranging magazines on a coffee table? There's no way that's not getting overturned in appeal.

Evidently the terrorism add-on is a wild card, and also a key factor being that the materials were made of paper?!? They made the comparison to J6'ers, who of course destroyed papers, including those belong to congresspeople, as well as their pathetic attempts to delete the incriminating evidence they themselves posted.

We'll see how it goes, but based on how the one-sided war has gone so far, they seem to be winning. Judges can have their say, until either an appeal goes in favor of the trumpists, or it gets to the SC, where Shadow Docket and Stall go trump's way.

enough said

told the pardoned J6 rioters and insurrectionists that "acceptance of a pardon is an admission of guilt?

...getting pardons that it's essentially a rebranding. Plus they're getting millions of dollars, besides having any financial penalties forgiven.

You know, "War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength."

Pardons are prizes.

I hate them so much.

Texas has a long history of these kinds of sentences and worse.

He did 15.

This is cruel and unusual punishment.

I think these were State charges so it's going to be tough for an appeal to succeed.

Poor fuckers. Guns make everything worse.

Yes, the sentences seem unduly harsh. But I'm not sure we want people like this on our side.

they were just around the few that were.

I agree that some of them got a tough deal, and will probably get reduced ssentences on appeal. But I can't stand up for somebody vadalizing property and certainly not somebody shooting from a sniper's postion.

Two Trump appointees. O'Connor is a Bush appointee. It's in the district where the crime occurred.
