  1. >The Justice Department on Monday appealed the sentences of five members of the Proud Boys, including its former leader, Enrique Tarrio, aiming to get stiffer penalties for those convicted for their role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

    Oh. Good…that’s good.

  2. This is risky, as it could backfire, but the Trump appointee handing out sentences is way, *way* below the published guidelines.

    That judge is also a total douche. He’s a power-tripping ex-cop and exactly what you would expect from the same.

  3. Talk about a roller coaster lol Went from upset to pleasantly surprised so fast I got whiplash

  4. I was about to be mad…until I read the article. Oh dang 🙂

  5. > While each of the four men convicted of seditious conspiracy received sentences of at least 15 years in prison — Tarrio’s sentence was 22 years — many of the figures fell far below what was originally sought by prosecutors.

  6. A sentence lesser that what federal prosecutors recommended: What do you expect from a Trump appointed judge?

  7. lock ’em up…LONGER

    edit – lol at those surprised the DOJ is asking for longer instead of shorter.

  8. I expect a similar appeal from the DOJ after the verdict in the classified document case against Trump. I foresee a ‘suspended sentence’ decision by Judge Cannon.

  9. I hope the DOJ prevails and guess traitors spent a lot of time locked up. A hundred years ago they would have been executed.

  10. The fact that someone can get longer sentences for drug charges than trying to enact an insurrection is wrong, but I don’t know if just making the insurrection punishment longer is the solution. It’s crazy that our criminal justice system really just amounts to prison or not prison. The details just fall into how long a person is there.

    We need serious criminal justice reform.

    Edit words.

  11. They’re not worried about this backfiring? Like they’re confident they won’t get an even lighter sentence ?

  12. All those Proud Boys who got light sentences because they showed remorse and contrition in front of the judge, then yelled “Trump Won” after their sentence was handed down…. The appeals judge is going to know that that remorse and contrition was fake. Hopefully they get the real sentences they deserve.

  13. You mess with me, you mess with the Proud Boys! How fuck’n lame!

  14. Is there a chance this could backfire to shorter sentences?
