The "Insurrectionists" have no remorse or regrets for January 6th.

[kentuck]

I saw a report earlier today, perhaps it was CNN, that interviewed some of these people that were arrested and none of them thought they did anything wrong. They are in complete, total denial.

They are a danger to society. They are a threat to anyone who does not believe the way they believe.

However, do not be surprised if they begin to call themselves "political prisoners" sometime in the near future. The "government" is their enemy. Democrats and their policies are the "government".

Assaulting the police and threatening elected Representatives of the people cannot go unpunished. Justice cannot be sugar-coated in radical political ideology. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

1. I guess they feel no remorse for January 6th, because

smearing shit on the walls is just how they do things back on the block...

2. How many Hundreds of Thousands, possibly Millions of other Deplorable

buffoons wish they had been there is more concerning to me.

3. The ones that didn't enter the Capitol and didn't attack the police can make that argument

The rest of them, well ... lets see how many choose the same recalcitrance in front of the Judge and Jury as they do when popping off on Twitter or OAN interviews

4. They are not in denial

They are incapable of seeing themselves as wrong. They do not feel guilty or remorse.
They think they were doing gawds work as if they could comprehend gawd,funny how the republican gawd agrees with the militant right-wing beliefs these stupid assholes spew.

They are brainwashed to the point they are basically sociopaths
Or narcissistic. Thier personality is torn down and rebuilt into a dark triad personality like what is done in the military.

Some of these fuckers I have no doubt were dark triad before the brainwashing.

5. This bears reposting

The Five Universal Laws of Human Stupidity

Law 1: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
Law 2: The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
Law 4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
Law 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

6. They have one major regret

They regret it wasn’t successful.

7. Many of them still believe that Trump told the truth about the election

being stolen and they were acting as his loyal foot soldiers. Perhaps similar to Nazi's blindly serving Hitler. They never considered they were directly breaking the laws of the USA.

8. Not one bit. They're morally bankrupt. nt

9. They're in martyr mode...

Self assured that God is on their side.

10. Oh there'll be punishment... that's for sure.

I think we'll see a LOT of plea-outs...maybe 80% of those arrested will plead guilty to something that delivers no jail time and a couple years probation + fines.

I think we'll see about 15% of them actually TRIED for assault and other felonies and I think 80% will be found guilty and see jail time up to 18 months-ish.

And I think there are maybe 5% who will be TRIED for serious charges, the Proud Boy and Oath Keeper types... again, most should be found guilty and I'd expect actual prison time of 5-10 years.

From what I've seen, the FBI isn't going after ANY of those who crossed barriers and assembled OUTSIDE the Capitol unless they assaulted police or destroyed property.

Looks like they're arresting people who ENTERED the Capitol and the estimate of those who entered is around 800.

Personally I think the trials should be televised and I expect them to be "Must Watch TV".

11. They assume everybody else thinks like they do

I don't mean that they think everyone agrees with them: I mean they think everyone else is itching to smash windows and spray bear-spray and beat folk with poles

That's why they think they can start a civil war

[Progressive Jones]

12. They're sadly mistaken. They wouldn't have the numbers to throw a "civil war". nt
