This must be so scary for those jurors. Our legal system and democracy are about (continues) to be tested.

You know what... GOOD.
Not that I want to see it, but time and time and time and time again these right wing fucks have proven that they can't be reasoned with, they can't be trusted and they have zero morals or plans to follow societal norms.... AND YET WE CONTINUE TO TREAT THEM LIKE INNOCENT PEOPLE.
We have been asking for shit like this to happen every time we give a J6th traitor a light sentence or every time Trump or one of his clown supporters tweets some fairly obvious call for violence and we do nothing.
When the fuck is the Left going to wake up and realize that we are at war?
The Right has seen this as a war for a long, long time now. They have been stockpiling weapons, creating closely tied groups and training militias. They are radicalizing the youth. They see this as a life-and-death situation where there will be victims and bloodshed.
What the fuck has the Left done? Written a few memes? A few snarky comments on Twitter? They have treated this as a joke or just business-as-usual when dealing with politics. We give the other side every chance to bully their way into a position of power by constantly compromising on things. And when it comes to punishments, the usual bleeding-heart stereotype comes into play and we give these traitors the lightest of sentences when instead they should be facing the same kind of corporal punishment that they would face in any other country for treason.
The US can not afford to be divided like this right now, but what the hell can you guys do. Fucked situtation, I feel you
what the hell can you guys do
Well for one, treat it with the seriousness that it deserves.
That alone would and should change many people's view on this.
This is not that different than when these Republicans ship illegal immigrants to CA or Washington or Boston. It has happened time and time again, and every time Liberals want to play it down in the hopes that it won't happen again. And then it happens again! And this latest time some little kid died because of it. What is it going to take for the Left to take it serious enough to where human trafficking charges are brought up on the people that planned it? Ruin the lives of some of the people who were involved in treating humans like property by getting them inundated with federal charges and endless legal fees. You better believe that when someone might be held liable for helping DeSatan plan a trick, they might think twice. But Liberals in the US are just a bunch of pussies that would rather becomes targets for some gun crazed redneck than ever go on the offensive.
Because of course they did...
So who wants to place bets on when people involved in the trial start to get bumped off?
I would comfortably place a $10 bet that either one of these jurors, a prosecutor or a judge will get attacked or killed by a right wing cultist and/or one of Trump's or Bannon's hired goons by the 2024 election.
Well, this comes as no surprise. Jackasses.
