I feel....um, zero sympathy for him. Maybe he should have thought about his kids BEFORE he had such a great time storming the capital.

(1,339 posts)After serving in the United States Army and suffering a traumatic brain injury,
I'm torn from "Stick the asshole in prison" to "Didn't anybody think that his actions MAY not be
entirely his fault.
Hey, just trying to be fair..

(3,011 posts)You don't become a racist homophobe from a traumatic brain injury. You don't store in the capital because of a traumatic brain injury. Fuck him

(7,554 posts)who have been sentenced to more time for less, often with no evidence, who perhaps bear NO fault of their own. Murdered and beaten by law enforcement. Have had crimes committed against them with justice delayed for decades or no justice at all.
Many of them had kids. Many of them lost kids to this unequal application of justice in this country.
What you fought for is justice for all. These people attacked that. They want justice for some. Some of them are paying for the blindness of their privilege.
Edited to add:
Had they been of a different demographic, they would have been gunned down. And the only one who did get gunned down was a woman. All the alpha males stopped storming that door after she went down, after SHE was the FIRST through the breach.

life, which does not include "uppity women". "perverts",
and "Untermenschen".

(4,868 posts)I wish they had given more info about how he received the injury. TBI can and do change personalities.
MorbidButterflyTat
(2,633 posts)Agree.
Everyone is different. TBI would naturally affect different brains differently.
Biophilic
(4,868 posts)1848 he was injured with a railroad spike. He actually survived but his personality was completely changed. He went a courteous hard worker in charge of a RR gang to a guy who didnt care about anything, got into fights and basically became someone no one recognized.
AwakeAtLast
(14,261 posts)He did not storm the Capitol, assault police officers or take a dump inside of the Capitol building.

(1,339 posts)I'm glad that people compared other people's spouses (As your husband) regarding how
they feel about the subject.
I didn't want to be unfeeling to someone who served our country.
Thanks!

Spineless wimps...

(204 posts)I hope that our active duty folks, will be locked & loaded, and deal with them, they tried to deal to our Country. Um, sort of a Kent State, only larger in scope. Filthy traitors deserve nothing less. IMO.

(68,449 posts)Every time I see those 300lbs mama's boys waddling around in tactical gear and brandishing AR-15's, I am encouraged by the fact that just one M1 Abrams tank could turn them all into a thick red mist in just a few seconds.
I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. And that oath never expired.

LuckyCharms
(19,046 posts)that if you don't commit felonies, you won't have to go to prison for 13 years.
Most adults know that.
I think if his brain injury caused him to not know the difference between right and wrong, then his lawyers should have pursued that route.
Otherwise, fuck him for crying like a child because he's sorry he got caught.
That's why most of us don't commit felonies, and then brag about it on camera.
Demobrat
(9,863 posts)Did he bail your ass out while you awaited trial? Pay for a lawyer? Arrange for support for your family while youre away? Mobsters do that. Did your god do that? Oh hell no. He wont even send $20/month so you can buy gum at the commissary. He wouldnt piss on your face if it was on fire. And you ruined, permanently ruined, your life for him. Think about that for 13 years you stupid, gullible fuckstick.
God I hate these tough guys who are all he-men in a gang, and cry like toddlers when its just them in front of the judge.

(10,402 posts)Feeling a bit guilty about it, but I think I'll be okay. Enjoyed the contrast of the video of him at the capitol, then him sobbing. However, I also wonder how many of these traitors will monetize their fame.

I find myself wanting ... faster... results more these days. I put that to the fact that I'm old and in very poor health. Will I live long enough to see the end of the cult of our savior trump? Starting to wonder tbh.

(1,013 posts)Being a military veteran makes the crime that much worse. We took an oath on enlistment.
Has the retired lieutenant colonel that had the zip tie handcuffs been sentenced yet?
tinrobot
(11,474 posts)What he did at the Capitol was sad.
What he did to his family is sad.
What he did to himself is sad.
Yes, put him in jail, but there's nothing to celebrate here.
LudwigPastorius
(10,909 posts)that if Donald Trump is successful in the 2024 presidential election, "I know he'll pardon me. I believe that with all my heart.
LOL, His Orange Führer will be too busy looking for his own Get Out Of Jail card.

It takes a lot to make some people wise up, I guess.
No pity for fools.
