THE FINDING OUT PART: The Proud Boys were finally sentenced, save for the neofascist group's leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio. He learns his fate soon. But before then, I invite you to come inside the courtroom with me in my in-depth write-up for @emptywheel

@Brandi_Buchman @emptywheel these judges should hang their heads in SHAME for going so soft on these terrorists.
i really hate this fckn country sometimes.

I also want our prison system changed to something like that of the Nordic countries where the state works hard to help convicts rejoin society. Sure, there are exceptions, but in the same way I think we should give Black teenage males convicted of drug crimes another chance, I’d like these privileged white males to get another chance.
2/2
@JoeStewart @Brandi_Buchman @emptywheel look, i get that true abolitionists want the system dismantled for everyone. but these people.. these 'proud bois' are lying, priveleged sacks of sht. i want them to rot, bc our system was designed to maximize punishment and for once, i'd like to see that doled out to ppl who actually deserve it. i've said it before and i'll say it again to ppl who like to remind me of the 'ideals'
..i live in the real world, and i have no empathy for these fascist pigs.
@Brandi_Buchman @emptywheel This is a great article. Thank you for it.
It's always stunning to me that these white privileged men just assume that Trump and Co will stand with them as other white, privileged men and are shocked when they don't even know they exist.
And yet the next group of white privileged men will pick up Trump's flag and do the same thing, and then find out the same thing.
It's some twisted, man-baby fascist life cycle. I can't wrap my head around it.
Why is Alex Jones still at large and unindicted for his role in January 6?
@Brandi_Buchman @emptywheel @kevinrns
"Pattis urged the court to believe that Rehl was another casualty in the nation’s political discourse and had been swept up in the 'crisis of legitimacy in this country'."
Whose political discourse? Who precipitated the crisis of legitimacy?
Rehl was not a victim, he was an active participant in the process of degrading political discourse and delegitimizing the election.
Biggs is already complaining about prison food.
@Brandi_Buchman @emptywheel Biggs' entire declaration was full of hypocrisy. "I'm not a terrorist" before shouting that Trump won.
If he wasn't fully responsible for what he did, how dare he attribute the worst intentions to his opponents?
He makes me sick. 🤮
May he rot in jail.
