https://www.rawstory.com/jenna-ryan-2655463536/According to a report from the HuffPost's Ryan Reilly, prosecutors urging jail time for a Texas realtor who took part in the Jan 6th Capitol riot cited her boast on Twitter that there is no way she is headed for jail time because she is white, has blonde hair and has a "great job."
Prosecutors are asking U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper to sentence Jenna Ryan to 60 days in jail, even though other Capitol rioters who've pleaded guilty to the same offense have been sentenced to probation.
As part of their argument they cited a tweet by the Dallas resident where she wrote,she has "blonde hair white skin a great job a great future and I'm not going to jail" as proof that she felt she was above the law.
According to the filing, "A defendant who believes she is immune from strict punishment because of her race and physical appearance may reoffend because the consequences for wrongdoing will never, in the defendant's mind, be severe even when severity is merited."

Saying "Heil Hitler" is not independent thought. It is what sheeple said and say. . . . nt

They think they are too special to be punished for wrongdoing.
I HOPE SHE STAYS IN JAIL FOR A LONG TIME.

other assholes have been given probation
if she doesn't get probation it'll be because she said what she said
if she does get probation it'll be because she's white, has blonde hair & a good job ( & others got probation)
which was a mistake to begin with.
I would much prefer her being sent to Gitmo and simply forgotten about forever.

And not 60 days, but more like 600 days.

Itd be interesting to see what she looks like when she comes out of jail.
