According to a Newsweek analysis, most judges have been fairly lenient on people who've pleaded guilty in relation to the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6., with only "about one-third of the people who accepted responsibility for misdemeanor charges received prison sentences."
Over half of Capitol rioters who were convicted in 2021 received no jail time.
"...but the majority of those defendants were only facing a maximum sentence of 6 months," Newsweek's analysis found. "Judges have sought to balance punishments that fit the individual cases with the need to send a message that deters future attacks, and most of those who were sentenced for serious felonies were given years behind bars."

That's the ticket the average sentence so far to over throwing and election ....is six fucking months, what will be the price the next time, these yahoos will be out of jail.....what could possibly go fucking wrong......I just don't get it....
This was not, I repeat not a peaceful transfer of power, and is still not a peaceful transfer of power, the next time is going to be worse, much worse...

...if you made the punishment too painful for overthrowing our government the perpetrators wouldn't come back to do it again...and then where would we be?
...a fascist revolution without participants...shameful
...that's no way to destroy our democracy...
according to his "Patriot Purge" special, all of these rioters and insurrectionists are "political prisoners" being held in terrible conditions (welcome to the American penal system).
