Trump-appointed judge gives a 'break' to Jan. 6 rioter who wants to be a police officer - LemmyWorld

Looking at the actual article, it was more that the judge saw he was a dumb kid who wasn’t old enough to go to college yet. We should be encouraging judges not setentising people under 21 to adult sentences, since the Republicans have been pushing 16 year old life sentences since “they look old”.
I’m definitely biased and I can’t read the article (SSL issue on archive.is?) but I think that attending a deadly political coup should probably exempt you from being in law enforcement, no matter how old you were.

Huh, yeah looks like archive.is is totally down right now
