Hillsborough man’s arrest makes 500 charged in Capitol riot

maybe they can all share the same wing at leavenworth

Perhaps that is because when right-leaning politicians make claims they rarely stand up to scrutiny in a court of law. Unlike the court of public opinion where people can say anything they want and toss out emotional screeds, courts of laws require actual verification and have standards of evidence and other rules to ensure what is being said is factual, accurate, and/or admissible. It is under these conditions, rules, and actual scrutiny by people studied and trained in deciphering fact from fiction where right-leaning politicians fall short.

CPL David Bixler - I said "rarely". If you have evidence to the contrary, feel free to present it.

CPL David Bixler - You may have learned to read but you didn't learn idioms very well. To take something WITH (not worth) a grain of salt means to NOT take it seriously. If you can not believe why anyone would not take me seriously, I understand that, but it is still a double negative. I am a serious person when I need to be. As a matter of serious observation, I am betting you are the kind of person that says "irregardless" when you mean "regardless".

And I am not asking you to "prove a point in a vacuum", whatever that means. There is a whole litany, a plethora even, of allegations of wrongdoing leveled by those in right-wing media and right-wing politics. A universe to choose from. All you would have to do is point out a number, let's say more than three, that actually stuck in a court of law where a person was either indicted and/or convicted. You can probably tune in to Hannity or Tucker tonight and take your pick.

Damn - from broad generalizations right into personal attack.

Did you miss the plethora of accusations from the left over the last 50+ years? Hell, let's just look at the last 5 years. Several investigations, 2 impeachments, more investigations, several commissions and nada was proved.

What you are trying to point out is equally shared by both sides of the aisle. But I doubt you will ever see, or acknowledge, that.

Sgt (Join to see) - Name one person being held in solitary confinement.

Sgt (Join to see) - I see what the lawyer said about one guy placed in "restrictive housing" due to COVID-19 constraints. Nothing specific to his participation in the insurrection... or are you outraged for all criminals placed in restrictive housing? Do you have anything about anyone actually placed in solitary confinement for their role in the January 6th attacks?

MSgt Steve Sweeney - While there does not appear to be a clear definition of what “restrictive housing” means, a DC Department of Corrections (DOC) policy document from August 2019 refers to it by the euphemism “single occupancy housing.” It lists sexual predators, juveniles, anyone likely to be targets for violence, engage in assaultive behavior as the ones restrictive housing.
Read the story of Ryan Samsel.
