“We have to be careful to count speech for what it is and not what it might do”

— Biggs’ lawyer, Norm Pattis

got it! gonna find the nearest crowded movie theatre and yell "FIRE!" at the top of my lungs. thanks, norm!

He’ll be 57 when he gets out so that’s a good 40+ years left for his political career.

Just a friendly reminder to any shit-birds reading; this is the nicest version of what we will do to traitors. You will not overthrow the government, you will not reinstate a four time impeached Yankee carpet bagger as president, you will not pass go, nor will you collect $200. You will simply rot in prison, again: at best.

Not so proud to be America's neofascist enemy anymore I'm guessing.

Fucked around; found out.

Just a reminder: on the day tweets were claiming the gallow was brought into DC by one of the vehicles in Alex Jones' motorcade.

We need to be clear here: Mike Pence was going to be assassinated on January 6th.

With good behavior, he can be free in only 14.5 years, and he was let off lightly.

Imagine throwing away almost 15 years of your life, destroying your family, and losing everything you worked for, because you believed Trump. Then finding out that it was all one big lie.

Later, loser.

Tarrio is the one I'm waiting on... Good riddance to bad rubbish!

The greatest trick ever pulled was liberal New York city elite trump convincing southern yokels he's one of them. You can fool some of the people all of the time. They're called conservatives.

Does proud boys sound super gay to anyone else ?

Not long enough, but when is it ever?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The record is the 18-year sentence given to Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, also convicted of seditious conspiracy, after prosecutors sought 25 years in federal prison in his case.

The government sought 33 years for Biggs, an Army veteran who sustained a head injury in Iraq and then served as a correspondent for the conspiracy website Infowars.

Prosecutors argued that he was a “vocal leader and influential proponent of the group’s shift toward political violence” and used his “outsized public profile” and his military experience as he “led a revolt against the government in an effort to stop the peaceful transfer of power.”

He ruled earlier in Thursday's hearing that Biggs’ tearing down of a fence that stood between police and rioters qualified him for a terrorism sentencing enhancement sought by prosecutors.

The other Proud Boys will also be sentenced in the coming days: Rehl on Thursday afternoon, Pezzola and Nordean on Friday and Tarrio on Tuesday.

The actions of the Proud Boys on Jan. 6 were “quintessential pollical behavior” up until the riot turned violent, Pattis said, arguing that prosecutors had used his client’s political speech as evidence of criminal intent.

The original article contains 787 words, the summary contains 192 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I think maybe they “found out.”

Let's get all the Pink Boys and Oath Breakers into prison. And same for those that planned the coup and goaded them into this.

Also, I want to get Flynn and his brother and Wray under the microscope, too. What did they know, when did they know it and who were they talking to?

These are exactly the right people to lose their right to vote
