Beau of the Fifth Column - Let's talk about 8 months, justice, and fairness....

[Ohio Joe]

I like and agree with the way Beau sums this up:

1. Spot on analysis as always nt

[Progressive Jones]

2. Great points on justice, but 2-3 years, or so, would not have been unreasonable.

These traitors intended to undo an election, and murder members of the government.
Harsher sentencing would not be about vengeance. It would be about punishment, which is fully deserved here, and deterrence.
Most of them could have and, IMO should have, died that day. They didn't, but that should be the end of their good luck i9n this matter. Admitting guilt for something you were caught red-handed doing is meaningless. Does anyone believe that any of these
traitors would have gotten a guilty conscience and turned themselves in?

3. What you say is all true but...

I believe our prison system should be about rehabilitation.

[Progressive Jones]

4. I think 2 or 3 years in the slammer, thinking about how stupid and dangerous they were that day,

would be quite rehabilitative. I doubt they'd ever pull a stunt like that again.

Also, what's so wrong with being punished for what they did?

6. As said in the video...

He will lose his job, and probably his car and home while inside. He will also carry around the label of felon for the rest of his life. I see that as more then enough punishment. He was the first to plead guilty and the judge believed his remorse to be real... I accept that.
