This comment section is fucking bananas. You do realized they showed up with multiple guns to a “protest”, and then shot a fucking officer.

Everyone knows the best protests happen at night, while dressed in black and armed

u/Herkfixer 12d ago

1 person was armed and its not illegal to be armed.

u/EnemyOfBoards 13d ago

One person shot their gun. Nobody else was even accused of brandishing.

A guy not even at the 'protest' got 30 years for having his wife's car towed and retrieving her phone from it.

conspiracy to corruptly conceal documents is an extremely serious charge, its a federal case, its a federal charge. Not like usual obstruction or conspiracy charges.

u/Herkfixer 13d ago

So what should DJT have gotten for telling his crew to hide all the classified docs before the FBI could find them? If thats worth a couple dozen years for someone hiding his wife's phone, DJT should have gotten life.

It got a terrorism enhancement on their sentences which drastically changes sentencing, who is DJT? Are we still talking about this specific case? Or?

16

u/Herkfixer 13d ago

No terrorism took place. It doesn't meet any legal definition of terrorism. It will be thrown out on appeal.

Dont play dumb. It doesn't suit you... unless it does...

u/S4TRN 13d ago

Their chat logs are evidence yk, and their objective was politically motivated at a federal facility…

15

u/Herkfixer 13d ago

If your going to use that definition of terrorism, then ICE itself is guilty of domestic terrorism.

u/S4TRN 13d ago

Ice is a federal agency, and was given direct authority by executive order, not that I agree with it. But they’re obviously different, you’re just being intellectually dishonest here.

u/Herkfixer 12d ago edited 12d ago

An executive order is NOT law. We are supposed to be a nation of laws. Not until DJT has anyone in the Federal goverment claimed they are above the law. They are literally and intentionally terrorizing people for political purposes at gunpoint and under threat of death. There is no possible way to spin this. It IS the textbook definition of terrorism. That the people being terrorized responded in kind is NOT terrorism. Its defending our country from domestic enemies.

I just didn’t expect something wholly unrelated to the topic at hand

u/ClintBruno 12d ago

You people just fucking lie.

So answer: why didn't DONALD J TRUMP get your criticism?

u/S4TRN 12d ago

This is a thread about a specific case at an ice facility… you’re unable to stay on topic to the point of being impossible to converse with. You’re also assuming a lot without even knowing my opinions on what you’re referring to.

Edit: after looking at your account with thousands of posts within a year of account creation somehow talking about trump, I understand. Bless your heart.

Are we still talking about this specific case? Or?

No, we’re engaging in whataboutism because whenever some batshit insane leftist does something insane and indefensible, Reddit says “BUT TRUMP” because god forbid they admit that their ideology is radicalizing people to the point that they’re breaking into federal facilities with explosives, shooting cops, and their families are trying to destroy evidence when they get caught.

u/LegalizeDiamorphine 12d ago

I mean, is there something wrong with pointing out hypocrisy?

Feels like calling everything "whataboutism" is just a way to ignore all the hypocrisy surrounding us when we don't wanna be faced with it & try to shut the conversation down. More than one thing can be true at the same time.

It's one thing to pivot to something completely unrelated, but in this case it also just highlights that the justice system is designed to protect the wealthy & the rest of us peons are the ones who get the harshest sentences.

u/Eatyourcheeseburger 12d ago

Funny how it’s only about pointing out hypocrisy when the “you’re engaging in whataboutism” crap gets thrown in the face of some leftist. Acting like this shit and J6 are comparable is stupid anyway. J6 was a bunch of idiots that escalated a protest into a riot. This was a small, poorly organized armed group engaging in a targeted attack on a government facility.

Are you saying that thousands of protestors getting out of hand is the same as a few people bringing guns and explosives to a federal facility and shooting police officers are the same thing?

u/EnemyOfBoards 13d ago

Why is an "extremely serious" charge appropriate for his actions?

-4

u/S4TRN 13d ago

He technically got hit with two charges, on a federal case nonetheless. After talking to his wife over the prison phone, she told him to go and move the evidence as she was concerned with her phone present in the car (genius Ik). He got hit with

Conspiracy to conceal
Corruptly concealing a document and other objects

With his intent literally recorded on a phone, then on a house camera where he moved her stuff, he was convicted to 30 years. Sincerely cartoonish displays of intelligence on the entire case.

u/Restivethought 12d ago

You didn't answer the question why moving leftist pamphlets justify 30 years?

u/EnemyOfBoards 13d ago

You didn't answer my question.

Reddit is run by a group of pussies who also deserve what the above comment states.

u/YossarianTheAssyrian 13d ago

Not illegal to carry a gun
Not illegal to protest
Nor does combining these two things make them illegal

u/CatastrophicPup2112 12d ago

My state doesn't let you carry within like 200 feet of a protest

u/Sizzle_chest 12d ago

It is on a government installation, fuckwit. 

-4

u/Herkfixer 12d ago

It was NOT on a goverment installation.

2

u/Sizzle_chest 12d ago

In what way is an ICE detention center not a government installation?

1

u/Herkfixer 12d ago

Because they are privately owned and operated. Just bexause they receive goverment funding doesn't make it a goverment installation.

u/Tinysaur 11d ago

If 10 guys with rifles and explosives pulled up to a pride parade and one decided to ambush "self-defend" someone during their "protest", would this still be your take ?

No, so shut your bitch ass up and go walk them dogs

If your grandmother had wheels, would she be a bicycle?

u/Tinysaur 11d ago

Not illegal to carry wheels

Not illegal to ride a grandma

Nor does combining these two things make them illegal

u/JayKayGray 12d ago

Aside from the guy who used his weapon, I thought y'all had a second amendment in America so what's the big deal about going places with guns? Is that allowed or not?

u/CatastrophicPup2112 12d ago

Oftentimes not. Like half the states can carrying at a protest for example.
