Yet Israeli settlers are free to harass Palestinians and force them from their homes without consequence
That’s simply not true
Meanwhile Hamas literally has in their original charter that the reason they exist was to form an Islamic state, resist PA secularism, and fight a two state solution, because their goal was genocide of Israel.
Hamas only exists because peaceful diplomacy with Israel was successful, and leading to a secular Palestinian state and a two state solution.
As this wasn’t a terrorist attack, a closer analogue is a recent war.
One estimate puts civilian casualties in the Battle of Mosul at around 40,000
1·1 year agoI could definitely see Trump supporters doing shit like this. I find it unlikely anyone at the Capitol, who has also been prosecuted, and given a light sentence, doing it again.
Aggressive prosecution is the precisely how you don’t let it happen again.
This has literally never been true about any crime
Are you for real.
Yes, Republicans notably used those riots to demand harsher penalties. You don’t remember the mythical burning cities?
This is “gold fringe on the American flag” level of nonsense
The irony is, the Trumpers want to be able to deploy this style of harsh and unjust justice at will.
So do people here arguing for harsh sentences because they don’t like them.
Mob Justice isn’t justice regardless of who the mob is
No, I don’t think it’s a good thing that traitors got less than they deserved
The vast majority of people on J6 were idiots in a mob situation, not traitors.
As OP said, fuck all of them, but aggressive prosecution here is not the way you want the law to work, the same way there’s no gain for imprisoning everyone who acted out of pocket during the Floyd protests.
You throw the book at the worst offenders, and you let people caught up in mob mentality off with a lesser sentence. That is justice working.
It’s because the vast majority of offenders are first time offenders, and are unlikely to repeat their actions.
This is a good thing, and should happen a lot. Our criminal justice system is fucked up.
I absolutely love that someone put in this kind of effort for this. This speaks to me.
Thank you for sharing.
Kind of crazy the funding issues (I don’t want to call them problems because, honestly this is great news) are so widespread between states.
Really weird situation I hope gets investigated more. I would read an entire book on this.
You’d really benefit from reading this article.
Mr. Biden is articulating a simple, strong contrast: Republicans believe that collecting less money in taxes will catalyze economic growth; Bidenomics “is rooted in what’s always worked best for the country: investing in America and investing in Americans,” as the president put it in a November speech in Northfield, Minn.
It is an overdue end to an era in which the difference between the parties could be summarized as a debate about how large tax cuts should be.
Someone in this thread will inevitably talk about voting for Biden “even if he sucks” while he’s doing exactly the things they want.
The FBI literally prosecuted him and won a conviction, after which he was pardoned.
He is a leftist, criticising liberal* identity reductionism and its inability to recall that class is part of the intersectional framework it has co-opted and abused beyond all meaning.
Thanks for saving me the click on an article not worth reading.
In Arizona and Michigan, two states where the GOP presidential candidate will likely have to win a majority of suburban voters to get back in the White House, the state Republican parties are running critically short on money. In Arizona, the state GOP has just $14,800 left in the bank at the end of August, as reported by the Arizona Mirror.
$14,800 is an insanely low amount of money.
You can’t win a contested small-time county election with $15k.
No Presidential election since 2012 has been decided by who pays more, so there’s some good news.
strong disagree on that one lol
People break laws all the time. That doesnt mean the gov supports them.
