Fine. Keep moving the goalposts at whatever speed helps you cope. You all look absolutely ridiculous from the outside, just so you know. Always jumping to the attack because you have no defense, never informing yourselves about your own doings. It’s almost like you’re all begging for the coup to succeed next time.
You’re right, please forgive me. Let’s put the spot light back on you.
What’s this charade the judges are playing by sentencing these people for decades again? Obviously ten or more years is a short time. What’s the grift?
The grift is that they need attention there so we don’t realize birds aren’t real. Same reason they have those drones in nyc for Labor Day weekend. They want us to think if they need drones they don’t have birds but the fact is it’s all a stunt. Attention is what it is. Remember, birds aren’t real.
They’ve given the defendants of 1/6 every opportunity to receive minimal sentencing, often going well under what the prosecutors have asked for, foregoing reasonable enhancements, and every other leniency. Some have also walked due to biased judges. This is a popular criticism, it’s not exactly a fringe opinion.
These are primarily upper middle class individuals and their cases are political. We don’t see such leniency and bias employed with working class convictions. They are also defendants on the right - heck, many times the US simply assassinates people on the left before the can become defendants! However for a different comparison, we have seen terrorism charges actually wielded against eco-protestors in the US (unlike with Briggs).
I hope that is sufficient, because this is starting to feel like I’m being sea-lioned.
I think the point is that people perceived your first post as a statement coming from a right wing conspiracy nut. With this post it’s clear that you mean that there is a political bias in favour of the defendant.
Their assumptions are not my fault. If they cannot engage in good faith and politely ask for clarification where there is ambiguity before going on the attack, then they are only hurting their own cause and are not contributing worthwhile discussion. Oh well, not my problem.

That’s a bold claim. People such as…?
this is starting to feel like I’m being sea-lioned.
A bullshit term made up so people can pretend to be victims when other people ask them questions. It’s not “sea-lioning” when you come out of your little bubble for a few minutes and nobody has any idea what the fuck you’re talking about.
The accused are playing their part - if the judge doesn’t play theirs, how is the charade supposed to work?
Sending people to jail for decades: the new charade.

I don’t believe anyone has received a sentence that would have a minimum of even 2 decades, but correct me if I’m wrong.
Oh what a gotcha. 18 years isn’t two decades. Good job 👏
That sounds like a foreign language.
Is common English foreign to you?
gotcha noun
: an unexpected usually disconcerting challenge, revelation, or catch also : an attempt to embarrass, expose, or disgrace someone (such as a politician) with a gotcha
Used in a sentence:
Not this guy. Briggs? That’s one person, and I believe I read he is likely to serve only 10 - again, correct me if I’m wrong.
Totally forgot ten years isn’t a decade.
Man, you really got me by the balls.

22 years. 2.2 decades. Multiple. Decades. Plural.

Oh boy.
What charade is that?
Mostly the double standards in sentencing.
ROFL! I would LOVE an explanation of this.
They’ve given the defendants of 1/6 every opportunity to receive minimal sentencing, often going well under what the prosecutors have asked for, foregoing reasonable enhancements, and every other leniency. Some have also walked due to biased judges. This is a popular criticism, it’s not exactly a fringe opinion.
That’s not an example of double standards. I’m wanting that part explained.
Oh, well, pardon me! lol

Got any examples?

No idea what sea lions have to do with anything, but…. If you say so.
