(6,890 posts)This may be why, but I suspect there's more than this which has been in the news in the last four years or so:

A magistrate judge in Western Arkansas had denied the government's motion to hold Barnett pending trial, but Judge Beryl HOWELL took quick action to prevent Barnett from getting out.
She also approved a transfer from Arkansas to DC.

It's amazing that it's a state that produced a Dem president. I wish the Clintons would come back to revive the Democratic party there.

(13,043 posts)Yay!! 5 more days!!! Watching replay of Maddow now - very worrisome many of the insurrectionists are ex-military. I pray the Higher Power will not allow our capitol as well as all 50 states' capitols will be safe and free of violence from now through next weekend at least, and that our military men & women protecting our nation will heed the JCOS' call that they are to stay loyal to the Constitution and not to a tinpot dictator

(19,066 posts)As an approaching middle aged white male, I can tell you this middle aged white male is whats wrong with the country. Thinks he built the country when hes done nothing with his life despite being advantaged by his sex and race. Thinking because he was part of a mob hed sully a womans office. A woman who accomplishes more on and regular old Tuesday than hes achieved in all his years on this planet. Guy is the definition of white male privilege.
His poor little heart is going to break, probably thought he was heading home and very likely wont know he isnt until hes getting put in a bus for DC tomorrow morning. They dont tell you anything in jail, youre the last to find out whats happening to you.

(54,405 posts)I'd hang the lot of them up by their thumbs with no bail and gags in their mouths, so they couldn't reinforce their hate with each other.
Then make them watch real life videos 24/7 of life going on normally, outside, without them, and give them a constant reminder what most people want, and what America is (which isn't them).
But, then, I am probably a little on the merciless side when it comes to suggesting judgement on thugs who would destroy my country to sate their own private perverted whims.
