It can’t happen here? It is happening here. Recall that most of the January 6 prisoners are first offenders being charged with trespass. Traditionally trespass on Capitol Hill by protestors has been treated as an offense punishable by a fine. Almost all the January 6 prisoners being held without bond for months are being treated this way for purely political theater. That this is occurring in the land of the free and the home of the brave is shameful, and bodes ill for the future.

This is really frightening. We should send a storm of protest to our Congressional Representatives.
It wouldn’t be happening if the judges in DC weren’t swine.
Since when is attacking police officers, breaking and entering and destruction of property merely “trespass?” It is those who are being held while the majority of the 500+ arrested so far for trespass were released on bail immediately.

The AntiFa activist that they have on video both doing that, and inciting it– as well as the AntiFa who were doing that while Trump was still speaking, and the night before– were released already.
Months ago.
Do try to keep track of your own thugs and don’t confuse them with the guys who walked in the doors when barricades were taken down by security, on live-streamed video.
During the early months of coronavirus in spring 2020, the DC Jail allowed few if any outside visitors, including lawyers, inside the building. The number of inmates getting sick combined with poor conditions got local media attention. Those circumstances were different than it is now.
If I ran this blog I would have banned that fool lefty “John” by now. What nonsense, every time he graces us with his presence. DNC talking points unmarred by any actual facts.
Don, you are a patient man.
In St. Louis last tear, hundreds of Antifas, BLM, et al insurrectionists and terrorists caused massive death and destruction. And, who was prosecuted? One each white family that defended their home against said insurrectionists/terrorists.
Last year, the perennially outraged [thieves, rapists, murderers, deadbeats, and their commie allies] razed/vandalized numerous federal courthouses and police stations; killed 23 people; injured hundreds of police officers; and burned scores of cities in 500+ riots in 2020. Not one is in jail without bail or charges.
In a Constitutional Republic (which the USA once had), there would be no asymmetrical justice.
Pacem, Frank.
Generally, I wouldn’t even open a website that posts my comments.
Allowing imbeciles, e.g., “John,” to spout their lunatic lies serves free speech.
“When evil days are upon us and the worker of malice gains power, we must attend to our own souls and seek to know the ways of the Lord. In those times reverential fear and perseverance will sustain our faith, and we will find need of forbearance and self-restraint as well.”
