Still just a slap on the wrist by comparison with the crime committed; the white supremacy continues as intended.

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.

I still wonder if the attackers had been people of color, would they all have been shot dead?

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. :woman_shrugging:t2:

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…
