Is this sentencing fair? (4 years in federal prison)


Matthew Bledsoe's testimony at trial that he didn't realize that Congress was certifying the 2020 election when he entered the Capitol wasn't credible, a judge said.

Self-described "loudmouth" who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 after climbing up a wall and entering the building through a door with a broken window as an alarm blared was sentenced to four years in federal prison on Friday.

Matthew Bledsoe of Tennessee, who said Where are those pieces of shit at?" as he entered the U.S. Capitol, was convicted by a jury in July after he failed to convince them that he was unaware that Congress was certifying the 2020 presidential election when he entered the building.

If a bunch of left wingers stormed the capital they'd be getting life in prison or the death penalty. The government is making the same mistake it made when it treated confederate with kid gloves after the civil war. All it does it tell right wing terrorists to just try again because you won't get any major punishment and it will bite us all in the ass again.

Four years? Fine. But house him in a prison where he won't find any sympathetic ears to his cause.

Settle down, dude. There are laws in the books to cover every crime he committed, and they were all considered. This is the result of analyzing his specific actions and determining the proper punishment.

Probably longer. What he did is a treasonous action. Isn't the sentence for treason normally death or longer than 5 years? Provided that's what he's convicted of.

I can see why folks itt are saying should be death.

The rioters did not find any of their targets. Who knows what they planned to do if they did.

But since he didnt, cant try him for would be crime.

TBH a lot of these MAGA conservatives are victims of late stage capitalism and the right wing propaganda arm. Many of them come from rural areas where their problems are different from urban areas and they feel their concerns are not being addressed. Then Trump shows up and convinces them that he cares about them, to the point that he becomes an idol and they will do anything for him.

This doesn't justify their actions in the slightest, and they absolutely should be prosecuted, but it does make me feel a bare minimum of pity for them.

I'd much rather see Trump and the conservatives that weaponized their vulnerability see real justice, than see these people go to prison for a long time.

If you attempt to overthrow the government and install your own, that's treason.

They attempted to overthrow the government. So they fucking deserve the treason charge and deserve the proper fucking punishment for treason. Which is death.

So saying "he deserves to die" and "should be the noose" is moddable but not "death penalty". Those are all the same

Look, conspiring against the government in order to overthrow it, is treason.

It only matters, to the coup, if they succeed, because then they've completed their goal.

If they fail, you can't just say "well they failed, so we can't charge them with treason"

They still committed treason.

They're the same disingenuous asshats that will stand by and let evil reign because "well we can't take up arms, that might make us look bad"

They have no real convictions, no real beliefs, that they're willing to fight and die for. They'll gladly bend the fucking knee so long as they can keep their hands clean.

Actually you said it the way I wanted to without painting yourself as a MAGA-ist. I was afraid I was going to if I tried to take that position.
