Tarrio gets 22 years for Jan 6th. Wasn't even there.

Also it's generally accepted that to be a political prisoner, you have not actually committed the acts you are imprisoned for.

1) No, that's not generally accepted. Selective enforcement is a hallmark of dictatorships and banana republics.

2) And this guy is guilty of what? "Insurrection"? For asking Pence to do his constitutional duty (from this guy's perspective)? What the fuck kind of crime is that?

That is one of the most absurd and ridiculous things I've ever seen posted around here - and that's saying a lot.

Are you really trying to tell us that it is "generally accepted" that, for example, anti-communists who were imprisoned in communist countries for opposing communism were not political prisoners (because they really were opposed to communism, and therefore "actually committed the acts [they were] imprisoned for")? Do you actually expect anyone to take such nonsense seriously?

"Not actually [having] committed the acts you are imprisoned for" does not make you a "political prisoner" - it just makes you "innocent".

Both the innocent and the guilty may be political prisoners. All that is required is that the motivation for the prosecution, conviction, and/or imprisonment is political in nature. Nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else.

The prosecution, conviction, and/or imprisonment of J6 defendants compared to the (lack of) prosecution, conviction, and/or imprisonment of (far more violent and egregious) Antifa/BLM defendants is clearly and obviously politically motivated.

No in dictatorships and 3rd world bannanna republics, the charges are invented, no crime ever occured. The J6 and BLM people both clearly committed crimes on live TV. They all need to be punished. Instead of bitching about the J6 people being political prisoners, you all should be pushing the narrative that the BLM got away with it.

What complete and utter horseshit!

There were laws in the Soviet Union against the creation and dissemination of samizdat. There were many people who broke those laws, and the charges against them were not "invented" - they really were guilty of those crimes. And every single one of them were political prisoners - just like the guilty J6 prisoners are - because their prosecution, conviction, and/or imprisonment was politically motivated.

The J6 and BLM people both clearly committed crimes on live TV. They all need to be punished. Instead of bitching about the J6 people being political prisoners, you all should be pushing the narrative that the BLM got away with it.

Right, because no one has been doing that.

You are not a serious person.

Meanwhile, in a separate case involving another totally-not-a-political-prisoner:

So apparently, they're gonna keep this guy locked up, not because of whatever evidence they do have against him, but because of the evidence they don't have against him.

(Oh, and also because he talked trash on the Internet.)

Just take a minute to internalize the fact that you now live in a country that has for real political prisoners and show trials.

Well, honestly we have been since at least the war of northern aggression.

Trump is the cause of most of the political chaos in the country. Refusing to drop out of the race while facing 4 indictments

You do realize that at least 2 of those indictments are complete political theater BS, right? And the other two are fairly trivial (the classified documents issue is a real thing though). And I'm not a huge Trump fan

 

[acptulsa]

Why is it that burglers are charged with crimes for entering houses, when people enter their houses every day?

WTF are you babbling about?

LOL

It looked to me like he was saying of course the Kavanaugh protesters were allowed in. They were government contractors there to fulfill a contract, were they not?

The Georgia case is not trivial nor theater.

Really? The guy who was in office 4 whole years—the cause of most of our political chaos. Hmm.

Biden must be really slacking if he's been in office half a century and can't even claim that.

Of course it is.

No, the chaos is incidental.

The cause of the chaos is that the system is in a panic mode because, rightly or wrongly, it thinks it is on the verge of being exposed.

It thinks, again for right or wrong, that Trump is the agent of that exposure.

And they are losing their collective shit over it.

The filth these sick freaks must be involved in would make Beelzebub blush.

And we need to find the courage of these men.

22 years in a federal pen was nothing.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Federal prosecutors added that Tarrio is a “gifted communicator who excels at attracting followers” who “used those talents to inflame and radicalize untold numbers of followers, promoting political violence in general and orchestrating the charged conspiracies in particular.”

Could have been said by King George himself.

My hope is next "election" escalates this situation. One way or the other

No matter which way it goes, neither side trusts the system to deliver an "honest election".

So it had better escalate things.

Because what we have now is intolerable.
