They kept them in jail for two years with no bail for minor offenses and no legal representation.
"Minor offenses."

Like insurrection? That used to get a person hung in this country.

Remember the Lincoln assassination co-conspirators?

We always knew what was coming, and how bad it would be.

We don't have a time machine, but we all still knew what degree of incompetence and corruption was coming the minute we saw Donald Trump descend that escalator in 2015 to announce his candidacy. We saw the bumbling through his first term, and we knew the second term couldn't be much better, especially considering he had the backing of the professional embezzlers heading up Project 2025.

My prediction, he won't answer your post.


@Mott-The-Hoople has got the IQ of a typical right-winger, less than shoe size. How can anyone celebrate the death of someone else (at the hand of a right-winger)?

We might as well be barbarians living in AD 100.

Cnn reporting it was a mostly peaceful shooting

And it is “democrat”, not democratic…your ignorance abounds
Give me the links showing CNN calling it mostly peaceful. Since when is assassination peaceful?
It is also clear as a bell if it was a repub or two assassinated you would be screaming EXECUTE THAT CURSED DEMOCRAT.


Because the shooter is a Republican (and the victims Democrats), then the right-wingers on here have to minimise the impact, hence the "mostly peaceful comments".

Boelter was neither the first nor the last Republican who has turned to violence.

NEW YORK (AP) — The man accused of assassinating the top Democrat in the Minnesota House held deeply religious and politically conservative views, telling a congregation in Africa two years ago that the U.S. was in a “bad place” where most churches didn’t oppose abortion.

Friends and former colleagues interviewed by AP described Boelter as a devout Christian who attended an evangelical church and went to campaign rallies for President Donald Trump. Records show Boelter registered to vote as a Republican while living in Oklahoma in 2004 before moving to Minnesota where voters don’t list party affiliation.

Vance Luther Boelter, 57, was captured late Sunday following a two-day search authorities described as the largest in the state’s history.

Almost all of them just walked around and took some selfies before leaving. I'd call that pretty minor.

Ashli Babbitt threw away her life breaching a barrier meant to keep her and others away from lawmakers they wanted to threaten into changing their certification votes in favor of fake electors to adversely affect the lawful election of Joe Biden.

I'd call that insurrection. I'd call that pretty major.

These lawmakers were killed for upholding women's right to body sovereignty.

Pathetic. I hope this guy is sentenced within an inch of his life. He should never see daylight again.

Unfortunately they were all deceived by the far-fetched right wing conspiracy theories.

The woman shot dead by police during Wednesday's siege of the U.S. Capitol was identified by police as Ashli Babbitt, a U.S. Air Force veteran whose social media activity indicates she embraced far-fetched right-wing conspiracy theories.
Babbitt, 35, was an ardent supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, and her posts on Twitter endorsed Trump's false assertions that he was defeated because Democrats elaborately rigged the Nov. 3 election.
