Dona Bissey doesnt want to go to prison.
This is probably something the 53-year-old from Bloomington, Indiana, should have thought about before allegedly breaking into the United States Capitol on January 6th. Now, Bissey is one of at least 660 people who have been charged for their potential involvement in the insurrection. Shes staring down a prison sentence and desperately pleading with a judge to give her 18 months of probation instead.
Her latest push for leniency, as NBC4s Scott McFarlane uncovered on Friday, centers around the idea that Covid-19 has wrought havoc on the prison system. She is extremely likely to suffer severe illness or even death should she be incarcerated, Bisseys lawyer wrote, adding that she does not deserve to die for her bad behavior on January 6th.
Theres a pretty big issue with this argument, though, as Bisseys lawyer felt obligated to note: Certainly, Ms. Bissey has not helped her chances of fighting the virus by remaining unvaccinated.

This is the woman who complained about her townsfolk treating her like crap for being in DC Jan. 6. Better get your fucking vaccination lady.

(14,959 posts)should it be. She did the crime, she should do the time. She has ready access to the vaccine, as all Americans do. If she chooses to spurn it, that is her lookout. Fuck this kind of argument for leniency.

Oh well. Maybe in the next life!

If she won't get vaxxed, then she's clearly not that worried about dying.
Does she think that the other prisoners want to or deserve to die of Covid? Of course I'm sure she thinks that she's a speshul little snowflake, but she probably needs to learn the hard way that nobody else thinks so.
