January 6th insurrectionists are getting off to easy, where are the mandatory minimums ??

[RANDYWILDMAN]

The judges should have less discretion in how they charge these people.

We need to see more severe sentences so these people and others NEVER even think of doing this again.

*I hate mandatory minimum sentences they were very unfair, I am just upset about Jan 6th and the shithead who attacked our capital that day.

The Quanon Shaman is getting time served and that does not seem right.

1. Sounds about white n/t

[TheRealNorth]

2. It's Like the Conservatives that purposefully committed voter fraud

They get a slap on the wrist with a little fine and maybe community service. Meanwhile, if your black person who has been released from jail and you don't realize you can't vote, you get 5 years in prison.

[Tomconroy]

3. The sentencing guidelines for the shaman actually

Call for 41 - 51 months. Not time served.

[StarfishSaver]

19. He hasn't been sentenced yet

[Tomconroy]

5. We had a stranger in our midst.

[Tomconroy]

6. He was the guy I've been reading about.

[Jim G.]

21. Ya Think?

[FrankBooth]

7. Batshit crazy alert

Enjoy your stay, and please, and don't forget to take your Ivermectin -- I recommend doubling the dose just to be safe.

18. Triggered snowflake says what?

LOL. Buh-bye.

[ShazzieB]

8. You've been here all of 20 minutes.

9. I oppose mandatory minimum sentencing laws.

Those laws tie a judge's hands and may force that judge to apply a sentence that is too long when attenuating circumstances may call for a more lenient sentence. Those laws are one reason why this country has the highest incarceration rate in the developed world. And those laws are one reason why people convicted of victimless minor drug offenses can spend too much time in prison.

[Tomconroy]

10. The federal drug minimum mandatories ought to be repealed

And the guidelines revised.

[totodeinhere]

13. Agreed. n/t

[C_U_L8R]

11. If roles were reversed...

Republicans would be lining up leftist insurrectionists to guillotines and gallows ten at a time.

[Trueblue1968]

12. give them all 25 years in the slammer. I SAY.... SEND THEM ALL TO THE MOON

[lagomorph777]

14. Sentenced to hard partying in Cancun.

That's about the extent of it so far.

[StarfishSaver]

16. While the sentences may seem to be light,

they are reasonable in the cases of plea bargains.

Lighter sentences are incentives for defendants to plead guilty and save the government The time, money, extraordinary effort, and uncertainty involved in trying a case

17. I couldn't find where he'd been sentenced yet, but

my understanding is that he'll be credited for time served.

Chansley was originally charged with six federal crimes. He pleaded guilty to one of the most serious charges and could face a maximum of 20 years in prison, though his lack of a criminal record means he'll likely receive much less. As part of the plea agreement, Chansley agreed to pay $2,000 in restitution for damage to the Capitol. He could also face a fine of up to $250,000.

During the plea hearing, Chansley's attorney asked yet again for his client to be released before sentencing. The Justice Department opposed this request, and Lamberth said he will issue a decision soon. When he is sentenced, Chansley will get credit for time already served in jail.

I'm hoping these fools are getting lighter sentences because they've offered up information on those higher up the food chain.

[Tomconroy]

20. He absolutely will get credit for the time he has been in

Against any ultimate sentence. My guess is he will get a reduction off the guidelines on account of his psych issues and because he is the first to plead with a risk of 41-51 months. Just a guess.
To me he sort of falls into the kook category, not the really dangerous and violent.

[obamanut2012]

24. He hasn't been sentenced yet

[MichMan]

22. They need to substantially increase the minimum sentencing for those types of crimes

Make it so whatever charges they face have 10 year minimums.

[obamanut2012]

23. Oh boy

He hasn't even been sentenced yet. There hasn't even been a trial for anyone yet. The first one is in October.

[George II]

25. Sentencing isn't until mid-November. He just pleaded guilty today.
