Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

I'm generally against large prison sentences, but he deserves life. He was attempting to deprive all Americans from having a say in our democracy. It's not like he was just hurting himself, or even just a few people.
Per the article, he got a deal because he cooperated. I'm guessing that means he gave them intel on other people they could go after. Considering how light of a sentence he got, I'm guessing it was someone valuable. If we throw the book at everyone who cooperates nobody will cooperate.
We've been hearing this since 2021. Who are the big names that have been charged with insurrection as a result of all these lenient sentences?
His cooperation seems to have led to serious convictions:
Tarrio - 22 years
Nordean - 18 years
Biggs - 17 years
Rehl - 15 years
I love seeing people ask questions that easily tell us that they're not paying attention.
"When will someone be punished?!?"
These dudes got decades in prison.
We’ll find out ten years after they either retire or die.
Sold!
Life. Without parole.
Made an example of.
A 10mm to the skull? C'mon. A 9mm would work just fine.
Sorry y'all, I got PTSD from that day, can hardly talk about it without crying and screaming. Can't look at pictures, let alone a 30-second video. Suffice to say, I'd pull the trigger myself and feel nothing.
I think you need to get off the internet for awhile.
You got PTSD from something you saw on TV so I'm gonna go ahead and suggest that literally killing a person would probably fuck you up pretty bad.
Of course it would? I am well aware.
Perhaps this should be a sign not to advocate for the opportunity
Comically-short prison sentence aside, look at the bright side: at least the PBS headline is actually admitting it's an "insurrection" instead of downplaying it as a "riot."
It's now a legal finding or fact of law or whatever the term is. Anyway a court said it's insurrection so that probably unclenched the sphincters of news editors a bit.
Still pretty dystopian that they're too cowardly to state the obvious without legal cover...
PBS isn't a rag, but rather a news source. News sources should be objective. You can find endless commentary online about how shitty these people are.
Calling Jan 6 an insurrection is stating an objective fact. It was always stating an objective fact, even before the court ruled on it.
It was always stating an objective fact, even before the court ruled on it.
This would be irresponsible reporting when discussing an ongoing criminal case, however.

That's something I haven't seen before.
“I knew what I was doing was illegal from the very moment those barricades got knocked down,” he said.
Glad that it happened, but it taking three years is absurd. This guy walked as a free man for such a long time. Can't see it taking as long if he got charged with having a bag of shrooms, probably it could've got him a longer sentence too. But if he cooperated with authorities, maybe it means more charged idiots in the future? One can dream.
He actually didn't walk free. He's been in jail this whole time I believe so he's likely only going to serve a few more months. Which is a little disappointing
Which is, right. But it's still a little bit less disappointing than having a former president and insurectionist still screeching idiotic propaganda and personal threats only limited by some lax gag orders. I'd love to see him behind the bars too, as a foreigner, for him supporting my opressive regime from falling down and finally becoming a proper country. I'd drink to that. And this person ending their sentence now is not as problematic, and even positive, as it means this system sometimes works right, at least for the lower ranks, and it has an opportunity to grow. It's at least promising. Just a wish, but beggars can't be choosers. Until there's some magick like class consciousness happens.
3 years. 3 YEARS?!? TREASON IS 3 MEASLY YEARS?!? what a shit justice system
A sentence this light probably means he gave up info on someone even more important.
It's the second paragraph on the post.
Look at this nerd, actually reads articles.
Give this piece of fascist shit the guillotine.
sucks to suck traitor! Just think, with good behavior you could be out shortly into Biden's second term!
It has been said before but:
Fuck around and find out.
Too bad his sentence doesnt have a 0 on the end, fascist piece of shit.
The judge said Donohoe seems to be doing everything in his power to make amends for his crimes.
Oh? Is he planning to commit seppuku?
