Ffs this was a planned coup attempt with inside assistance. It’s obvious. It’s been obvious the entire goddamn time. I’m tired.

Most of the people that went into the building are receiving felonies with plea deals to get light sentences.

While I’d prefer they all go to prison for a very long time, we have to consider the already overburdened court system. If every person got a full trial, we’d be holding these trials for a decade.

We don’t like them, but they still have rights and one of them is the right to a speedy trial. On top of that, any time spent hearing one of their cases is time not spent on a different case.

Take the non-violent offenders, give them a plea deal for what they’re likely to receive in court anyway, and move the process along for the violent offenders and the people in charge.

The felony charges they are receiving mean they are on terrorist watch lists, no-fly lists, no longer have legal access to firearms, and lose a bunch of other shit.

I want to be clear that I believe they should be getting much harsher sentences. Hell, I believe only one seditionist actually received justice for her crimes on January 6th. However, we need our courts to continue functioning and adding several hundred cases to the docket in a very short time isn’t going to help that.

You call this functioning? They are still spreading lies and misinformation. I see little contriteness. 9 months and not even close to bagging the ring leaders, orgainizators, or legislative traders. Ya that’s justice.
