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”.

He knew exactly what he was doing. There should be no leniency for people who commit crimes knowing full well what they’re doing.

That’s how you end up in a society where kids are cool with killing teachers over bad grades.
