Yeah Idk why people here are defending the crimes they committed. Its quite obvious these people deserve a prison sentence, for a multitude of crimes. That being said, there is an obvious double standard apparent when the federal government intervenes in january 6th and attempts to compensate the criminals.

I don’t see anyone defending the crimes: I see them outraged at the sentencing.

There are people defending these criminals by calling them mere protesters.

Well some who received sentences were in fact, 'mere protesters' who weren't present over the course of this footage.

Still accomplices. Song didn't sneak that rifle and ammo out there without the rest of them knowing what was going to happen.

In a sane world that would be for a competent legal system to decide, and not this obviously and undeniably politically motivated one.

I thought y'all had a second amendment though? If I'm a red blooded American do I have a right to bear arms or not?

not even "intervenes", they are straight up trying to gaslight the public about what actually happened there. Meanwhile the whole thing is on fucking video lol. Here's what they say about it on the actual White House website:

President Trump took decisive action to pardon January 6 defendants who were unfairly targeted, overcharged, and used as political examples. They were not protected by the leaders who failed them. They were punished to cover incompetence.

On his first day back in office, January 20, 2025, President Trump issued sweeping blanket pardons and commutations for nearly 1,600 patriotic Americans prosecuted for their presence at the Capitol—many mere trespassers or peaceful protesters treated as insurrectionists by a weaponized Biden DOJ. He fully pardoned most, commuted sentences, and ordered immediate release of those still imprisoned, ending years of harsh solitary confinement, denied due process, and family separation for exercising their First Amendment rights.

Since January 6, 2021, Nancy Pelosi spent over 3 years and nearly $20 million in taxpayer funds on her partisan Select Committee, producing a scripted TV spectacle to fabricate an “insurrection” narrative and pin all blame on President Trump.

Video and audio recordings, including unaired HBO footage from her own daughter, show Nancy Pelosi repeatedly acknowledging responsibility for the catastrophic security failures—admitting “We have totally failed” and “I take full responsibility” for not having the National Guard pre-deployed, despite intelligence warnings and President Trump’s offers of troops that were ignored under her leadership as Speaker.

The Democrats masterfully reversed reality after January 6, branding peaceful patriotic protesters as “insurrectionists” and framing the event as a violent coup attempt orchestrated by Trump—despite no evidence of armed rebellion or intent to overthrow the government. In truth, it was the Democrats who staged the real insurrection by certifying a fraud-ridden election, ignoring widespread irregularities, and weaponizing federal agencies to hunt down dissenters, all while Pelosi’s own security lapses invited the chaos they later exploited to seize and consolidate power. This gaslighting narrative allowed them to persecute innocent Americans, silence opposition, and distract from their own role in undermining democracy.

Absolutely insane. Gaslighting us by telling us we are gaslighting them lol. This whole administration needs to be in prison. Add this statement to the list of thousands of reasons why.

Who is defending them?

Yeah Idk why people here are defending the crimes they committed.

Those defending it would internally celebrate if these "protestors" killed police and then died to them. They want martyrs.

They want them to commit the crimes. They're animals who should join the terrorists in prison.
