So, two things:

> A Kentucky man was arrested in Miami almost two years after the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Two fucking years. The feds are gonna find every one of these assholes. No matter how long it takes. As they should.

> This arrest came from the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force meant to investigate national security threats.

Oooh shit. FBI ain’t fuckin around. Right-wing assholes and hate groups are now on the terror task force radar. Finally.

Edit: and one more thing:

> Officers made the arrest in Miami and charged Easterday with eight criminal counts, including assaulting an officer with a dangerous weapon, an act of physical violence at the Capitol, entering a restricted area with a dangerous weapon and others.

He can have fun with at least 4-5 years in jail with those charges.

4 or 5 years for those charges sounds ridiculously low. I know nothing about law, just saying my opinion. Should be in jail a lot longer than that

People can get put away for 15 years for holding more than 25 grams of pot in Florida.

Apparently literally trying to destroy democracy is less of an offence than drug laws.

You are 100% correct that it’s ridiculously low for the severity of the crime he committed. It should be 20+ years.

But based on what I’m seeing other Jan 6 seditionist get (and keep in mind this is all somewhat based off of federal sentencing guidelines and DOJ recommendations by the line prosecutors in these cases) my guess is he gets 4-7 years if he takes a plea deal and 5-8 if he goes to trial.

Honestly should be fully done away.

> Consequences for their actions

Even a single year in prison will absolutely fuck up your life and you for the rest of your life. So basically once they're in prison the revenge is pretty well there.

We really have to make an example of their leadership though if we want to see their behavior change. Not just the orange joke of a human but also Murdoch and his media empire.

Agreed. 7 years of your life gone with the world and everyone you love is going on with it. What he did was abhorrent but it seems like a fair sentence.

Skellum t1_j29x247 wrote

It's such a problem with sentancing though. All it does is let us get our revenge need out but doesnt really solve the problem. Lets imagine the normal path for one of these people in prison, they go in, they probably join a white supremacist/skin head gang for protection, they pick up more shitty behaviors and criminal connections. They get out.. they then go to work with their support network which is now 100% white supremacists and skinheads as they no longer have anything.

What did we accomplish? We kicked the problem down the road for 10 years and made it worse. We never actually fixed it. We really need prison reform for everyone possibly with legislation that makes it illegal to discriminate against hiring former convicts or that you're not obligated to report it unless you're a sex offender.

Maybe job placement/training/relocation so that when you come out you're at parity-10% or so of when you went in depending on your circumstances. Not that prison should be a reward, but so that it actually does something useful.

This is definitely a feel good story for me. The people who were there just standing on the grounds waving flags and yelling all hail Trump, that's an acceptable form of protest. For everyone of the jackasses that got caught up in the mob mentality and entered the building, especially the ones who committed assault, I hope they are in a constant state of paranoia and stress. I hope they have nightmares about the FBI knocking on their front door. I hope every time they see a person wearing a suit and sunglasses driving a Tahoe, they shit their pants. Fucking moronic deplorable people.

Would be nice if they found that guy who lives at Mar-A-Lago.

They’ve already done a search warrant at Mar a Lago. A federal judge has already ruled that Trump and Eastman committed crimes. It’s coming.

joemeteorite8 t1_j29uvai wrote

I like your optimism but there’s no chance in hell Trump ever sees the inside of a cell. If he’s ever actually tried for his crimes on and leading up to Jan 6, he’ll tie it up in court until he’s dead.

Chippopotanuse t1_j29vw0x wrote

Thats all true.

I still think he will get indicted. I think he will get prosecuted.

But like you say…he will fight every little thing on appeal and tie up the system for the rest of his life.

Here's a thought for those still on the run:

If you think facial recognition technology is scary today think about 10 years from now. You're gonna get caught.

Smoothsay t1_j28gnnq wrote

facial recognition tech is terrifying. Great that its to round up these scumbags but it IS going to be rampantly misused.

Just because we like who it is being used to round up now does not mean we cant recognize the absolute shitshow that is coming our way between deepfakes and facial recognition mixed with big data.

autotelica t1_j28vyge wrote

I walked into Kroger yesterday and noticed the security feed of the entrance on the overhead monitor. There was me with my grocery cart and a green square hovering over my face, tracking with my movements. Don't know if the feed was being processed through a facial recognition database, but it totally could be, right? It kind of creeped me out. My first thought was, "I hope my twin sister hasn't committed any felonies I don't know about!"

Entrapment is very specific to being something the average person would've done if given the same chance. Most people aren't so brain dead that they would've overthrown the will of the people from a democratic fair open election to instal someone that didn't even do anything for them. Entrapment doesn't cover any of this

If he had been a person of colour, he would have been handled "very differently"...like President Obama agrees and the Head of Capitol Security agrees

"very differently" = shot dead

No matter how much he deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars nobody can risk a "president" getting shived in jail and the logistics of keeping him safe would be too costly.

The maximum we can hope for is house arrest in a dwelling of the states choice without internet access. But even that would be stretching out luck I'm afraid.

GeoLogic23 t1_j28q6q0 wrote

Round the clock secret service protection, for life, no matter where he goes. But somehow keeping him safe when he's constrained in one place would be too expensive?

Not sure how that makes sense.

Exseatsniffer t1_j28veqb wrote

Yep, secret service in jail. That's not going to cost extra hazard pay.

also, if he you think the Trumpets are insane now, wait until he stubs a toe in jail.

GeoLogic23 t1_j28wzxr wrote

You realize they currently have to pay for lodging and travel and shit, right?

Idk what this argument is you're trying to make. There are a million angles you could try, but "it's too expensive to put him in jail" is absolutely not the one I would take.

Definitely a better idea to shift to "it's too divisive to hold him accountable". I still think that's a terribly weak argument, but it's easier to defend than the previous one.

Hey, I get it, I want him to rot in jail too, I just don't see it happening for aforementioned reasons. And I get it the reasons given might be bullshit but since when did it mattered if something was bullsjit or not? It hasn't in the last 20 years that's for sure.

GeoLogic23 t1_j2992is wrote

Ok but you weren't originally suggesting it as a bullshit reason. You were suggesting it as a logical reason.

You yourself claimed the logistics of keeping him safe in jail would be too costly, and thus we should be ok with house arrest.

Angry MAGAs are all over the FBI Facebook page blaming Ray Epps and Hunter Biden for the J6 attack, while also blaming the FBI for employing Ray Epps secretly and pushing the J6 agenda to take attention away from Ukraine money laundering.

The craziness there is also a great place to keep up with the latest conspiracy theories as well. For instance, did you know that one of the newest theories is that the FBI is a Gestapo agency controlled by the Democrats to take rights away from conservatives? Just follow Edward Scott’s comments on the FBI Facebook page to keep up to date with the latest conspiracy theories.
