Still just a slap on the wrist by comparison with the crime committed; the white supremacy continues as intended.
He looks like he’s auditiioning for The Shining.
Here’s Kyle!
Seven years is hardly nothing, but you’re right, that full 15 years would have been much better.
Had it been a person of color who had committed said crime, they’d have likely been given 20+ years… assuming that they even lived to see the trial.
Entirely likely, unfortunately enough.
That Kelvin Timeline Birbiglia really went off the rails. I like our Prime Birbiglia.
What he should have done on Jan 6 … was nothing.
well played!
I still wonder if the attackers had been people of color, would they all have been shot dead?
Blurring for Nazi salute
A non-zero number of insurrectionists definitely would have been shot ‘on sight’, had they been any color other than White; whether they “all” would have died is unknowable.
White privilege and upholding White supremacy is exactly why the attempted coup went as far as it did.
I don’t wonder much. I don’t think “all” would’ve been shot, but consider the response to the peaceful BLM marches in DC
They aren’t really leaving much to wonder about.
Wow. That’s an actual photo.
I hope it was shown during the trial.
[ETA: if this artists rendition is accurate, it was shown during the trial.]
Fuckin A; I think anyone who’s not in a state of self serving denial has a very good idea of just how different the gov response to the January 6th coup attempt would have been, had it been perpetrated by POC…
I don’t know the implications of carrying around felony convictions the rest of your life, but I would imagine it’s still a hell even after only 7 years served.
Could impact his ability to join a police force !!
He is/was a butcher, so I was leaning toward Clapet in Delicatessen. I wish I could get an image of him angry.
Your own privilege & bias likely constrains that ability, significantly.
Good day.
Are these fascist bastards subject to civil suits from those injured as well?
Of course; in this shitty timeline, the only people that are actively happy seem to be the lawyers banking all the billable hours from endless lawsuits…
