During their hearing “I am a changed person. I would never do something like this again”
A year later “I don’t regret what I did, I would do it again, we did nothing wrong, Trump 2024”
Maybe you should regret breaking the law, and being a general douchebag, and also a traitor.
Can’t do the time? Don’t do the crime.
IMO it's even worse than that, they got off easy, if the house had been defended as it should have, a lot of them would probably have been shot. If they hadn't had white privilege, hundreds would have been shot, instead of just allowing them in.
But somehow extreme republicans managed to keep security away, because they actually wanted Trump to succeed in turning over the election. The treason goes deep within all US security organisations.
Exactly! If that group had been a majority black/Hispanic/Asian/native American we would be talking about how many were killed/injured not how many were arrested.
Can't handle Democracy? Fuck off to Russia, China, or North Korea.
Loves dictatorships.
Live in democracy instead.

Some of them are living up to their idiotic ideals.
Ok, at least he is not a complete hypocrite I guess?
That's probably the nicest thing that can be said about any of these clowns.
And I regret you didn't get more jail time.
I wish he would have too. The dumbass traitors that are claiming innocence are getting heavy sentences. This jackass would have tacked at least 4 more years on to his 3 year sentence if he had ignored his lawyer.
Cuckolds wear horns.
What human trash, honestly I have a hard time even calling these fuckwits human. Lied in court and did a complete about-face. That should be grounds for more jail time.
It’s a fucking shame the justice system failed so completely on this. Everyone involved should have had the book thrown at them.
If we can lock black people up for decades for a tiny bit of weed I think the least we can do is put these people behind bars for a decade.
I say all of that AND I’m heavily in favor of prison reform. But while we have this terribly shitty system it pisses me off when it’s applied so unevenly and unfairly. Maybe if we held white people (see also CEOs) to the same standard there would be more support for reform.
Is it common for rescind guilty plead? Doesn't that kinda invalidate it?
No it’s very rare. When you plead guilty, a judge asks you if you are truly guilty or is someone pressuring you into pleading that way?
