  Keep throwing your lives away for nothing, trump is not coming to pardon you.
context: This needs to be  the lead story on every news outlet in America for the next three days. Everyone needs to hear that you go to prison for 16 years for this shit. >
  
  Us govt wanted life in prison.  He got off easy. >
  
  Yeah the judge really threw the booklet at him. >
  
  Pamphlet >
  
  200 word "essay" >
  
  More of a comment, really >
  
  If it was up to me these guys would be deported to Siberia where they belong… BUT 16 years? Hopefully Atleast a decade? I’ll take it man. Fuck these guys >
  
  I'll take it too but imagine if they were a poor African American selling loose cigarettes. Straight to the death penalty!
  Factor in all kinds of good behavior and parole. This dude might do 5 years if he's lucky. >
  
  He would have to be very lucky. Federal parole is a fair bit harder to get than state parole. >
  
  That's good to hear >
  
  These useless pieces of shit were going to murder someone that was looking out for their best interests, I’d give them more than 16 years, but I’m no judge. >
  
  I think drug laws have really fucked with our sense of time when it comes to prison sentences. In a vacuum, 16 years is a long ass time >
  
  This is correct. America has such wildly long sentences compared to most of the world that sentences considered unjustly long by most are considered too short here. 
  You can thank the Sentencing Reform Act and the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act for most of that. Cause it didn’t used to be that way until some folks who thought black people are scary wanted to inflate sentencing for “those people’s crimes” wink wink. >
  
  My favorite fact about the American penal system is that Americans make up about 5% of the global population but have 25% of the global inmate population. >
  
  To be fair, that statistic assumes accuracy of reported incarceration rates from some countries with questionable human rights records.
  And it doesn't take into account the higher rates of executions in some of those countries. >
  
  That's not much better, honestly.
  "Other countries with known systematic human rights violations might also be just as bad as the US, we just don't know for sure." >
  
  I take it more as "we suck but at least we admit it" >
  
  Admit it? Hell, some idiots out there are damned proud of it. >
  
  Let’s get the guys shooting power stations next. >
  
  I work in the area in WA that's been hit recently. It's so annoying having to deal with all of our computer equipment, servers, security systems, etc.. during prolonged power outages.
  I can't imagine how shitty it is for the people whose homes were hit. This was all done on the same weekend that we had one of the worst ice storms in decades. 
  The cops up here have been on some kind of restricted strike akin to quiet quitting, they're understaffed, and certain legislation up here has made the cops pretty apathetic to actually catching criminals. Hopefully now that this has made national news they'll make it a priority to investigate what's going on. >
  
  What legislation has even affected them badly?  Police budgets keep on rising. The public said “hey stop shooting unarmed civilians” and the whole fucking force decides to ignore crimes like a bunch of useless babies. >
  
  Their budgets didn't rise as much and they didn't like being told what they can't do. They don't want to be accountable. That's basically it. >

  Their feelings were hurt. >
  
  Why do they always look like thumbs? >
  
  Why is it that the white supremacists are always the least supreme whites? >
  
  r/beholdthemasterrace >
  
  Those folks are definitely the master race is we're ranking based on number of chromosomes >
  
  MAGA conspiracists are quite upset about this and trying to deflect on the FBI’s Facebook page. Go check it out for the latest in right wing conspiracies and vitriol against the FBI. >
  
  Yeah that is all I see on Twitter also. >
  
  Sentence is a fucking joke.  Should be 50 years at least.
  IDGAF that he's 39 and will be 55yo convicted felon when he gets out.  It's not good enough.  Too many people behind bars for much longer sentences for much, much less serious crimes like pot and any drug crimes >
  
  I couldn't agree more! The judge was quoted as saying, "It’s too much. Something less than life gets the job done in this case,” later adding that 16 years behind bars “is still in my mind a very long time.”
  In what world? I would posit to say that this judge is completely disconnected from the pulse of the this country if they are under the impression that a 16 year sentence is all that is required to deter future domestic terrorists from plotting against elected officials. >
  
  They did such a great job of showing that Whitmer has the grit needed to be president. >
  
  I haven't given it too much thought, but I would vote for her in the 24 Texas primary. >
  
  She'd be great, but it's hard to imagine a scenario where Biden doesn't run, and the Vice President isn't shoe-in. All these scenarios where someone else beats Harris won't work until 2028. >
  
  Ehh, I don't think Harris is a shoe-in if Biden doesn't run. One of the top candidates, sure, but far from a guarantee. >
  
  I would much rather have Whitmer than Harris. >
  
  Agreed! >
  
  Boebert will complain about this. >
  
  She gets off on stuff like this. Doesn't need a man. >
  
  Which is good b/c she is likely too old for her husband. >
  
  I downvoted you solely to be able to upvote you twice. >
  
  Gentle reminder that liberals don't do this. >
  
  But what about the far-left antifa extremists who keep threatening everyone with free health care? >
  
  Good.  This is a terrorist.  But he's not going to wind up in Gitmo.
  We still need to get the ringleaders in Right-wingnut media who encouraged them to do it.
  Don't think of them as white people who have the freedom of speech.  Try thinking of them as foreign Muslim brown people spreading Muslim Fundamentalist Wahhabist hate speech to radicalize Muslim terrorists to attack the American homeland.  
  We need to have equal opportunity in prosecutions of terrorists. >
  
  I am still amazed at how little time these people are getting for both this foolishness and storming the Nation's capital... You can get 20 plus years for a drug case or a regular crime with a gun.  You can be WHITE and plan on kidnapping and killing the WHITE FEMALE GOVERNOR and STILL NOT get 20 years.... WOW... >
  
  Now do the same with the maga terrorists hitting the power substations >
  
  And all because of masks and social distancing that was meant to protect these idiots..
  Donald Trump is a hell of a drug. >
  
  /r/beholdthemasterrace >
  
  shocking amount of racism against half-orcs in here >
  
  Holy shit.
  Some people just look too stereotypical.  They look exactly like what one would expect. 0.0 >
  
  That mugshot screams “I am a slack jawed yokel”. >
  
  Some folk’ll never plot treason, but then again, some folk’ll… >
  
  Michigan checking in. 
  Good. >
  
  When he gets out, she will no longer be Governor. So in a way, his plan worked. >
  
  Maybe the real plot to kidnap the Governor was the jail sentences we served along the way >
  
  Weren't republicans staying this was fake last year? >
  
  from TA,
  
  In August, Trump called the kidnapping plan a “fake deal.”
  
  Of course. Anything that they don't want to acknowledge is 'fake'. I've gotten very sick of that word. >
  
  Like long Covid we now have long MAGA >
  
  With the bloated, pouty face, he looks like a grown up Kyle Rittenhouse. >
  
  
  Every time [Trump] ramps up his violent rhetoric, every time he fires up Twitter to launch another broadside against me, my family and I see a surge of vicious attacks sent our way.
  This is no coincidence, and the president knows it. He is sowing division and putting leaders, especially women leaders, at risk.
  
  Terrorism is integral to MAGA Republicans’ political strategy >
  
  Keep in mind when looking at his mug shot this person thinks they belong to a master race >
  
  If there was ever the face of a man who eats uncooked hot dogs over the kitchen sink while plotting a kidnapping.  It's this guy. >
  
  
  He shook his head and repeatedly smirked while Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler spoke. Kessler said Fox’s smirking was a sign that he showed no regret. 
  My client stands on the record, maintains his innocence and he looks forward to getting it all before the panel at the Court of Appeals,” Gibbons told reporters after Tuesday’s sentencing. 
  Fox was regularly exposed to “inflammatory rhetoric” by FBI informants, especially Army veteran Dan Chappel, who “manipulated not only Fox’s sense of ‘patriotism’ but also his need for friendship, acceptance and male approval,” Gibbons said.
  
  He has no freaking regret, he would get out and go right back to being fucking crazy. He even tries to blame his behavior bc of fucking words from the undercover agent. Even if its true, plenty of people have listened to inflammatory propaganda or have been manipulated and they dont plan on kidnapping/killing a fucking governor with plans to start a second civil war. Give me a fucking break. >
  
  This Trump-fucking terrorist better serve every single day of his sentence. >
  
  FAFO in effect >
  
  One down...  69.99 million to go...  Joking, I think. >
  
  And he would do it again because mah freedum! >
  
  Pretty lenient if you ask me. >
  
  Kyle Rittenhouse in 10 years. >
  
  I love that they always look like genetic experiments. Inbreeding is rough >
  
  We normalized the most insane shit during the Trump era.
  Trump directly attacked the Governor relentlessly. He would always dog whistle who the next victim of his cult should be >
  
  Pretty light sentence for attempting a treason >
  
  Not long enough >
  
  Not enough for this dangerous dullard. >
  
  We need harsher sentences when the crime involves domestic Christian terrorists.
