Stand back and stand by for prison time.
If one thing for someone to tell you to do something stupid or illegal another thing for you to follow through and do what they say. >

Jump in the lake analogy that my parents used when we tried to blame our stupid actions on other kids doing it too. >

The hyenas keep getting their wal-mart tactical snagged on things, >

When are people going to own up to their own actions? >

The "party of accountability"?!? Don't count on it. >

Both PB and OK were upset with Trump from 1/6 onwards really.
He didn't step up according to them and then didn't pardon them of course. >

If they stormed the capital they have no one to blame but themselves. Last I checked everyone that took part were adult humans and not mindless machines. >


Polling data shows that 64% of Americans — basically anyone who isn't a Fox News junkie — put "a lot" or "some" responsibility for the events of Jan. 6 on Trump. That percentage is almost certainly higher in and around Washington, D.C., where this trial is being held. It's less clear whether that translates into sympathy for the peons who raided the Capitol at Trump's bidding.

It does not. >

Imagine being so disconnected from reality that you have the audacity to be surprised that a man literally world famous for lying to everyone in his orbit used you and hung you out to dry. Donald Trump has cheated on all three of his wives. He’s cheated his contractors. He’s seduced his friends’ wives. He’s insulted his own children. And those are the people he knows! He likes those people.
But the Proud Boys? He doesn’t even know they fucking exist. >

They were the unbelievably blunt instrument of Trump's insurrection. Believing anything Trump, Giuliani and Stone said makes them criminally stupid scapegoats. Those 3 liars should be in there with them but hard to feel sorry for dumb and violent when the find out part starts. >

Now the real question... How many of them would vote for him again? >

Half? >

They are not scapegoats, they're accomplices.  Calling them scapegoats suggests they're being unfairly held responsible for someone else's actions.  
There is nothing unfair about sending traitors to jail. >

Not scapegoats, partners in crime. None of these assholes are victims. >


Proud Boy leader's lawyer argues Capitol insurrectionists are "scapegoats" for Trump's actions. 

Adults are responsible for their actions. >

They're patsies, not scapegoats. >

Why isn’t Trump paying their legal bills? >

Scapegoats are innocent people blamed for bad things.  The proud boys were stupid enough to believe Trump.  Two different things.
At the same time, Trump was loving how he could manipulate people who he has call distasteful. >

Bullshit title. They aren't scapegoats, they're accomplices. >

Everyone better hope Desantis doesn’t run, Trump was a moron and incompetent at every level. The Dems better find a strong ticket, this is some real stuff! >

Very true. >

Perhaps they should sue Trump… >

Or testify against him for reduced sentences???? Commute death to life in prison with out possibility of parole? >

Hey Proud Buttholes! What'd you think was gonna happen when trump mentioned Vaseline? >

Trump took advantage of all those mean with small penis issues and sent them to the capital. He made them feel like they don’t have tiny penises and for that they tried to take over the capital. Shame on Him for using their insecurities against American democracy. (Nothing against small penises, just the men who take their small penis issues out on the rest of the world.) >

But they’ll still vote for him. >

agreed.  i think the grifting that trump and his cronies engage in on a regular basis and out in the open should be looked into as well as the obvious crimes of sedition and election fraud.  they are exploiting peoples loyalty. >

Trump will never be held to account, he’ll die of old age first. >

Everyone knew that before Jan 6....except for the proud boys >

It’s beyond ridiculous . It’s incomprehensible . Two years plus and no action from AG Garland . Why ? >

Ignorance, is not an excuse. Willful stupidity is not a defense. My mind was made up about trump when he boasted about loving the uneducated. Not that I liked him before, I'm old enough to remember the donald of the seventies. These guys are scapegoats, and, they belong in jail with trUmp. >

Sucks to be poor, Proud Boys. My God, what a bunch of marks. >

DOJ: We have top men working on it right now.
Press: Who?
DOJ: Top. Men. >

The hyenas keep getting their wal-mart tactical snagged on things, and they are wholly out of breath, but once they regroup the intent is definitely to eat scar. Just give them a minute. >

They arent scapegosts though. They did the actual violent part >

They were played, but they begged for it.  They were willing accomplices.  It doesn't change anything legally, though.  They did the crime.  There are videos and witnesses.
What the hell did they expect.  Medals? >

Trump belongs in prison but the insurrectionists are not scapegoats, they are guilty for their actions. They are grown ass adults who committed crimes and that white power shit makes me crazy. >

I thought they were antifa?? >

Maybe if they had realized Trump's hand was up their ass, they might have realized they were puppets. >

Trump needs to be put away pronto. Let’s get rid of this charade. He can’t be allowed to die in his sleep. He must be humiliated. >

Scapegoat implies a certain lack of responsibility. These guys are all responsible for their own insurrectionist actions. >

Using the Charles Manson argument that they were just following orders >

Mason went to prison for life and he wasn't even there. Precedent is clear.
LOCK HIM UP!!! >

Oh they finally realized that Trump used them. >

Lol, no.
