"During the sentencing, US district judge Timothy Kelly, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, said the evidence suggested Tarrio was “the ultimate leader” of the seditious conspiracy, “the ultimate person, who organized, who was motivated by revolutionary zeal”."
I can think of someone else, Judge Kelly. The tangerine nightmare that appointed you.
Ugh, right? Really sounds like they set up Tarrio to take the fall for Trump. Fuck that.
That's the picture they're painting, but unfortunately for them nobody's buying it.
It's good that he's going away for 22 years. However, the sentencing guidelines called for between 324 to 405 months (27-33 years) so by the Judge's own calculations this is a miscarriage of justice and yet another right wing domestic terrorist is being handled with kid gloves. Fucking disgraceful.
He was an informant right? Distasteful as it is, informing has to be publicly seen as providing a tangible benefit, or future criminals wont talk
Sentences can include upward and downward departures from the guidelines based on the circumstances of the case. It's also important to remember that the guidelines are non-binding on judges.
2 decades is 2 decades. And, it's not like when he gets released he'll be hailed as a hero. Trump will be dead, most of his supporters will probably be dead of old age or COVID. The rest will be too embarrassed that they voted for him to admit it.
When he gets out he'll be 60. Having spent decades in prison, he won't be able to retire, and will probably live out the rest of his life working menial jobs that hire ex-felons until he dies in obscurity.
What's even better is him thinking he's not going to be in prison long because Trump is going to win the next election and pardon him. My brother, there's a greater chance of Trump becoming your cell mate.
Yeah... Even if Trump wins there's no way he remembers or cares about anyone involved in Jan 6.
These guys are way more screwed than they realize.
Trump is a narcissist who cares about image and the cheers of crowds. If pardoning J6 traitors gets him that, he will do it.
Couldn't have happened to a prouder boy
Federal informant, and still get 22 years?? Congrats on playing yourself, Ricky!
That's a long time to fester in a place where they love rats.
What an achievement. He should be a proud boy.
Waiting for Trump to be all "When we retake what's rightfully ours, I'll make sure those who were wrongly imprisoned by Crooked Joe Biden are exonerated as the patriots they are!"
Those in prison can't vote so Trump will just write them off as useless.
Trump might say that but he’d never actually do it. He never does anything to help others.
Should be 222 years. Rot in cell, traitor.
Good. Fuck that guy.
LOL GET FUKT TRAITOR!
Mark my words they'll try and break him out.
Don't trust these fuckasauruses to play by the rules.
They're fascists - the rules exist exclusively to protect them, and subjugate those they don't like.
They play by the rules - it's just their own rules that boil down to toddler-tier "I win."
I'm glad the fuckasauruses are turning into foundoutasauruses.
Traitors only get 20 years? Dang, soft punishment for treason, but at least it's something eh.
Don't think you understand what 20 years in prison looks like.
I don't either, but it sure would ruin my life
"Only" 20 years? There can be whatever number and people will still say it is too little
Guys losing 1/3 of his adult life, and won't get out of prison before his 60s. I'm extremely anti-j6, but 22 years seems like a nice hefty sentance to me
May he die from an embarrassing and uncomfortable medical condition exactly 5 minutes before release.
Fuck around...
I saw numerous videos where these guys went out of their to beat the living shit out of blm protestors (not rioters), while calling people antifa - who clearly weren’t, in broad daylight, and nothing happened to them. I can only imagine if I were one of their many victims, that seeing this would be give me some great pleasure. Especially since the “fuck around and find out” rallying call was the thing they said as the brutalized people who were simply protesting brutality.
Not a fan of incarceration or the police state, but sometimes you just gotta vibe
He attacked the Capitol, this isn't vibing, this is what you have to do with violent criminals
Some people are too dangerous to be allowed to roam freely. Rapists, murderers and insurrectionists are all examples.
Delightful!
