https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/19/judge-trump-trial-sentence-00153440 A Washington, D.C., judge issued a dire warning Friday about the effects of the January 6 attack.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan sentenced Scott Miller, a former Proud Boys leader who fought with multiple police officers while trying to storm the Capitol building, to 66 months in prison. This is one of the longest sentences that Chutkan has given. She cited Miller’s actions at the Capitol, as well as evidence that he held Nazi beliefs and thought that Washington, D.C., residents should be executed.
Previously, the longest sentences Chutkan had handed down related to the insurrection were 63 months long, given to two other violent offenders at the Capitol. Chutkan described the storming of the Capitol as “close to as serious a crisis as this nation has ever faced.”
“It can happen again,” Chutkan, who is expected to preside over Donald Trump’s criminal trial for trying to overturn the 2020 election, said Friday. “Extremism is alive and well in this country. Threats of violence continue unabated.”
Those threats have become normalized in Republican discourse, with right-wing figures across the country invoking violence and urging their supporters to arm themselves. The man behind it all, Donald Trump, has yet to face any consequences thanks to the Supreme Court holding up his case over questions of presidential immunity.

Since the January 6 attack, Trump has not toned down his own rhetoric, saying that 2024 could be the “last election we ever have”—and his far-right supporters could try to make that a reality. Not to mention that many Republicans still believe in conspiracies about the Capitol riot, a sign that the right isn’t concerned about inciting political violence, let alone the violence itself. In short, Miller’s sentence shows that the consequences for political violence in the U.S. right now only come after the fact, and do not deal with those who incite it beforehand. This does not bode well for the aftermath of the 2024 elections, no matter how they go.

Of course they will try again. The longer the schizos are off their meds, the more likely we'll get terrorist attacks by the right.

>>1289090 >“Extremism is alive and well in this country. Threats of violence continue unabated.” Yes, because you are using the law to discriminate against Republicans.
Democracy exists only because everybody agrees. You're shitting in the bed, blaming the other person and wondering why everybody gets upset.

>lol lmao This is why Wikipedia isn't allowed as a source Explain what part about this sentence you just quoted is incorrect. Did Donald Trump not refuse to concede? Was there not a riot during the certification that interrupted the process?

>Did Donald Trump not refuse to concede They were literally still counting votes during the "riot". He doesn't have to concede until after the recounts are finished. Did Hillary refuse to concede when Trump won because they did recounts too?
