WE need a catchall thread for the ongoing and resolved criminal trials held against these violent, treasonous monsters.
Stewart Rhodes, Oath Keepers founder, sentenced to 18 years for seditious conspiracy
Quote:The founder of the far-right Oath Keepers group has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for his role in a seditious conspiracy to disrupt the electoral count, the stiffest punishment to date to stem from the violent assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
A jury in Washington, D.C., convicted Stewart Rhodes last November of the politically charged sedition charge and multiple other felonies. Given the rare nature of the charge, his prison term could influence any sentence Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the far-right Proud Boys group will face on the same charge later this summer.
@tsarstepan,
nice.
the scumbag will be 75 when he gets out, assuming he serves the full sentence...
@Region Philbis,
One thing is likely certain, he and his cohorts aren't going to be humble and remorseful. Two strikes against them in their inevitable parole hearings.
@tsarstepan,
I think they'll get worn down and will be offering all sorts of cooperation in the future sentence reduction.
@Region Philbis,
It's in Federal lockup and they do not get a generous good time reduction.
@Region Philbis,
I wonder if any of these convicted vets will lose their VA benefits in consequence.
@tsarstepan,
It almost always requires a military offense or a clear cut example of fraud to lose those. I don't think they should null benefits past discharge of active and reserve duty.
They did the service when 90% of their fellow citizens chose to do otherwise. I say let them keep their earned benefits, particularly their medical benefits.
@Region Philbis,
Though, I really don't want criminals meting out some sort of extrajudicial punishment in my name.
Let him hole up with Aryan Nation for eighteen years. I don't think he'll be going to a Club Fed. They took him right out of court. These judges are not slapping wrists.
DOJ charges 'Arrested Development' actor Jay Johnston for involvement in Jan. 6 riot
Quote:Jay Johnston, an actor who appeared in such shows as Arrested Development and Bob's Burgers was arrested in California Wednesday, and faces charges in connection to the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
According to court documents, Johnston, 54, allegedly helped pour water on the faces of rioters who had been pepper sprayed by law enforcement and was seen carrying a stolen shield that belonged to U.S. Capitol Police. The documents, which reference video and photo footage, say Johnston participated with other rioters in trying to push law enforcement officials.
I suspect there will be plenty of acting offers from Mel Gibson, Kirk Cameron, and Dinesh D'Souza for this actor.
@Region Philbis,
Celebrate good times, come on
Let's celebrate
Celebrate good times, come on
Let's celebrate
There's a party going on right here
A celebration to last throughout the years
...
of imprisonment these Pieces of Sh!ts will be spending incarcerated!
@tsarstepan,
they effed around, and are in the process of finding out...
I have no sympathy for traitors and I hope they are forced to serve their entire sentence. I doubt that even one of these people will have a scintilla of actual guilt over their activities. None of these people have been elected to any office by the voters and I do not want the country run by a bunch of shabby looking low intelligent nut cases that think it's a grand idea to prove how much they love America by breaking into the Capitol, smearing excrement on the walls, chant Nancy (we are coming for you), display a noose for the Vice President, carry a CONFEDERATE flag thru the halls, and all the other bullshit things they did. They assume they can cry 'I didn't think it was wrong' because Trump called them in to help him. They are exactly where they need to be, housed with other criminals where they can impress the other important zeros with their stunning lack of respect for the country we live in.
Many people my age had fathers who served in the military during the Second
World War. My Dad was in combat and we were lucky to get him home, alive. Was he ever injured? Oh hell yes he was. I am proud that my Dad and a lot of other peoples fathers fought in a war to assure us of the freedoms we enjoy...and also the freedom of these lackluster crybabies to be unhappy.....but I refuse to be governed by these rioters and traitors who think they are merely visitors while they piss all over everything we hold dear.

The real celebration will occur when Trump is convicted and removed from society.
I'm hoping that Donald Trump as a last resort will plead insanity and be institutionalized, but that is almost certainly not going to happen because his grandiose self-image wouldn't allow it. Fine. Let him sit in prison if that's what he wants, just remove him from society. My only hope is that the country can recover from his pathological influence.
