Okay so it really sounded like she got 14 years for defacing a statue, which is fucked. But it was actually for taking part in a failed coup.
We all know from the recent US history that the penalty for a failed coup is immunity and reelection.
Some governments deserve to be overthrown. Let's not wholesale discredit revolutionaries.
Its what she was trying to replace and what she wanted to replace it with that matters, not that she was a revolutionary in general.
Yeah that's the squishy part I wasn't sure how to phrase. Well said.
Title sucks, I know. It's really annoying that they refuse to use coup in the title.
Then find another article. Considering most users only read the title, this phrasing is MSM propaganda against Brazils left-wing gov.
For which 14 years still is a crazy long sentence I would think. But Brazil probably has quite draconian laws in general, I'd assume.
Brazil doesn't have draconian laws, but things get added on top of other things. An example:
For homicide, there's x time in jail, but if it is done out of pettiness, it can get up an amount of time, if it is a hate crime, there's more time added.
So participating in a mob that literally shat on the supreme court chairs, destroyed countless historical art pieces in the buildings, had an assassination plot on the supreme court ministers, attempted to overthrow a (flawed) democracy, etc, gets up a lot of time, even if she "just" put the makeup on the statue.
Which sounds a bit crazy to me personally given that she probably was not personally involved in half of these things. But I understand where it is coming from
