The man convicted of attempting to kidnap then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacking her husband with a hammer has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Feels like the conclusion to draw is that attacking the government is okay, but once you signal out someone really rich, you’re fucked. Also apparently never do crime alone, you get much less severe sentences if you go as an angry mob.
Remind me who the capitol rioters were looking for? Ahh right the guy first in line for the presidency. Neither group found their target and instead attacked others, so I’m still struggling trying to understand the difference. Be in a mob and be targeting the poorer person even if there higher in line for the presidency. The guy who killed the cop on their way to the Pence hunt got 6 years.
And the mob was in the capital. That has to be on the same level as an official’s home, right? This all seems so insane. This guy is away for the rest of his life, sure that’s not the gripe. The gripe is the insurrectionists were doing at a minimum the same thing and most of them will be out to make another coup attempt? What the fuck is happening? Their leader got 22 years, 8 years less for an insurrection? What the fuck?

This is not some random rich person. This is the officer 2nd in line for the Presidency of the United States. It’s a wee more serious.
