The arrogant, smug seditionists Rhodes and other believe they will never serve on day in jail for

[Samrob]

this conviction.

[onecaliberal]

1. So they've been convicted of trying to overthrow the US government and those fucks are not in jail?

Are you fucking kidding me?

[Beastly Boy]

17. This is not what the OP says.

The OP says that this is what Rhodes believes. Let's not jump to conclusions based on somewhat skewed opinions of a convicted felon musing about his future.

No fucking kidding...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. I suspect the OP (post & run) has no evidence of Rhodes thinking & is just making up a fiction. nt

[Caliman73]

21. This is why context is important.

The OP stated that Rhodes and others "believe" they will not serve a day in jail from this conviction. To which the person who responded (and to whom you responded) asked why they were not already in jail for this conviction.

A lot has to be read into things when people do not take the time to clearly state what they are trying to communicate.

Where was this convicted felon "musing about his future"? A link to the musings, or even a description of where the musings could be found would have made a clearer picture.

[Beastly Boy]

23. Surely you are not taking my comment about a convicted felon musing his future literally!

Where was this convicted felon "musing about his future"? In the mind of the OP. I took it to be self-evident.

I could have said "Let's not jump to conclusions based on the OP's speculation about somewhat skewed opinions of a convicted felon musing about his future", which would twice remove the content of the post I responded to from what is in the OP, making it twice as odd as I suggested it was, but I felt it was redundant.

2. They'll soon be dining with Trump in prison.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

3. Rhoades is in custody and has been for a while

[AZSkiffyGeek]

5. Sshh, don't let facts get in the way of a good rant nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. 19 words does not qualify as a "rant". Nowhere near "good" with 2 spelling errors & a legal error.nt

[onecaliberal]

8. Okay. I thought I read that too.

Those people should never be walking free again.

[vlyons]

4. and when he is in prison, he can fabricate the delusion that it's really Shangri-La

He's an asshole.

[GenXer47]

6. he's convicted of three crimes each carrying a 20-year max

so I'm gonna guess he gets 20 years total. The judge is probably researching Civil War cases right now.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. How Would Rhodes Think That?

He's been in jail for the last ten & a half months already.
He can't think he'll never serve a day when he's already been in the slammer for 320 days.

[Septua]

10. "..won't serve a day..."

Based on what circumstances? Appeal?

[PortTack]

11. Thinks when tfg guy is reinstalled in the WH..which we've all read is any day, he will be pardoned

Or maybe he’s planning an Epstein moment

[Beetwasher.]

12. He's Already In Jail, And Is Now Convicted, So He Won't Be Getting Out Any Time Soon

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. And you know what Rhodes thinks, how?

[GenXer47]

14. I found a similar case, I think

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andres_Figueroa_Cordero

Apparently some Puerto Rican nationalists entered the US Capitol in 1954 and shot several House members. On the conspiracy charges, they got 6 years:

"On July 13, 1954, the four nationalists were taken to New York, where they declared themselves not guilty on the charges of "trying to overthrow the government of the United States".[11] On October 26, 1954, judge Lawrence E. Walsh found all of the accused guilty of conspiracy, sentencing them to six additional years in prison." - Wikipedia

Of course the attempted murder charges had them in for much longer so the 6 was just a tack-on.
Rhodes was also found guilty of two other crimes so maybe he'll get 18 years?

[no_hypocrisy]

16. Maybe, but they will have criminal records.

Doubtful they will win on appeal. And they can’t get an expungement.

[multigraincracker]

19. Ya mean a "well regulated militia"

is getting regulated? Bout time.

[Javaman]

20. psychopaths are funny like that.

he will probably spend the rest of his life in jail (or a good chunk of it), all the while, he will deny that he's actually in prison.

[Elessar Zappa]

22. They've already served several months.

And they’ll remain in custody for a number of years, depending on the sentence.
