I don’t carry a gun and have zero authority and my company would fire me in a second if someone showed them social media posts of mine promoting and supporting white supremacy. I agree they really are going to have to start getting rid of these folks who are not even trying to hide it.I’ve mentioned this before, but a few months ago I listened to a show on NPR’s Fresh Air that dealt with this subject. The guest had tracked hundreds of cops social media sites and been astounded at how open many of them were about white nationalism. Showing signs and banners of extremist groups, bragging about racist behaviors. When he went to the superior officers he always got some variation of this response, “I can’t do anything about what they do on their own time”.
Uhh, yes we can as a nation track and control who gets a gun and the authority to enforce the law in this country, and a lot of it is in plain sight. It will only take will power, and the willingness to face an unpleasant truth.
The Stone and Manafort pardons definitely DID NOT cover all charges that were originally filed or alleged. I would certainly love to see both charged for their unpardoned charges. I mean, how sweet would it be to see Roger Stone sentenced to a significant prison term after doing a victory dance after commutation and then rubbing the subsequent pardon in the prosecutor's noses,
Are you on a police union? They are powerful, and politicians are petrified of losing their support.I don’t carry a gun and have zero authority and my company would fire me in a second if someone showed them social media posts of mine promoting and supporting white supremacy.

I was going to post this. I saw Katyal on Lib TV a few days ago and he said he, and many other lawyers, had noticed the flaws, but he wasn’t going public until after Wednesday.
This is what I want. One thing I have learned in 23 years of teaching is that NOT giving meaningful consequences DOES NOT work. If we just let these people off with some bullshit trespassing ticket it will encourage others, or them to do it again. These people need to be shown that this will not stand. It's really imperative.

I think my stance on punishing people who commit crimes is pretty well established on here.How did you feel about the punishments handed out in the PNW?
Good. If it sends 1000 people to prison, so be it.CNN reporting that anyone on the grounds is subject to ongoing investigations.
I'll have to review the information.I think my stance on punishing people who commit crimes is pretty well established on here.

i’m curious to see how this plays out with some of the journalists who rushed inside to cover the story. Will their media status shield them?
Doesn't preclude them from being investigated.
I'm hoping they would be pretty low on the priority list.Correct; I’m more curious if they are going to be charged.

That was an excellent job of reporting right there.
The best thing about dealing with traitorous cowards? They ALWAYS flip:
