"Not Happy" Homocon DC Riot Suspect Appears To Hint At Plea Deal: "I May Be Swallowing A Very Bitter



“Not Happy” Homocon DC Riot Suspect Appears To Hint At Plea Deal: “I May Be Swallowing A Very Bitter Pill”

Via email from homocon riot suspect Brandon Straka:

Dear Patriots, It probably comes as no big surprise at this point to hear me say, “There’s much I can’t talk about right now.” I know you must be so sick of hearing it. This week is a crucial week however. Very, very crucial.

For now, suffice it to say that I have to make a major decision, and also suffice it to say that my choices are not plentiful.

As of now, I am not happy with what I am being asked to do. It flies in the face of what is true, and I have always been about telling the truth- whether people like it or not.

It’s sad to me that a person can be put in a position to have to take ownership of something that is false, and seemingly have no other choice.

Please pray to God that somehow this week right will be done and truth and justice will prevail.

Try not to worry about me. I will be ok. I will ALWAYS be ok. But right is right and wrong is wrong. And I may be swallowing a very bitter pill. I hope somehow I won’t have to.

All I ask is that you pray and send love. This email may sound somber and pessimistic, but you know me- I’m an eternal optimist. No matter what is done to me, I hold my head high- I know the truth- and I remain optimistic and determined to look to a bright future.

I’ll have more to report in the coming days. This is all for now. Sending love to you all, and would love to hear from you all with some love in return. Thank you, Patriots.

... is showing absolutely zero contrition, zero regret, and zero sincerity? Is it a requirement that the accused actually BELIEVE that what they did was wrong?

Lock the SOB up until he does believe it... and then maybe he can get out on good-behavior. If life in a real prison is anything like it's portrayed in movie/TV dramas (ie: HBO's "Oz'') then he would not be very happy.

If he already accepted one, he can't go back and change it. It doesn't sound like that has happened here yet. So, yeah. This e-mail could blow up any chance that the judge will accept any plea deal. In fact, I suspect the prosecutors won't tolerate it, either.

The apology is meaningless... but the little boy utters the words anyway to avoid a harsher punishment (and to get immediate relief from the discomfort of having his ear pinched.)

I'll bet he's been that way his entire life. He was born in 1976... so that makes him the right age to have lived through the trendy style of permissive parenting that embraced the "no scolding / no punishment" philosophy... the one in which everything is negotiated, there are no "winners" and no "losers" (so why bother keeping score). He's the poster-child for being an entitled brat!

source--https://www.weltwoche.ch/ausgaben/2020-50/weltwoche-international/brandon-straka-die-weltwoche-ausgabe-50-2020.html

snip--As a gay hairstylist in Manhattan, Brandon Straka never questioned where his political home was. “I felt like I didn't have a choice politically, but to only be a Democrat.” But when he started to voice dissent, he reached the limits of liberal tolerance. He decided to pack up and leave – with a bang. He founded the “#WalkAway” campaign urging Democrats to move across to the Republicans. Hundreds of thousands have joined Straka on his journey. Straka tells Die Weltwoche that among Republicans he has found “the most open, the most loving, most diverse” people in America.”

snip--" I will no longer be a part of an ideology or political party that represents everything that contradicts my values of unity, equal opportunity, personal empowerment, compassion, and love. So, I am walking away."


snip--"What I discovered was that Republicans and conservatives don't hate gay people. They don't hate Black people. They don't hate Hispanic people. They really don't hate anybody. In fact, this MAGA community, the Trump community, is, I think, the most open, most loving, most diverse movement of people in America today. These people are not out to get you. No one's trying to hold you back. No one's trying to oppress you."

I believe it was a former SLA member (bank robbers, Patty Hearst kidnappers…) who’d been living undercover for decades. As I remember it, she copped a plea, admitted it was her and that’s what she’d done, then went out on the courthouse steps and gave a speech where she said it wasn’t true and she only said it to get the deal. The judge called her back in and said that ain’t how it works.

I didn't do much better reading the body of the article.

Do they still have editors?
