Trump slaps retaliatory measures on Colombia after it turns away deportation flights

First, a few people being charged with seditious conspiracy does not an insurrection make when you have a crowd of 10,000.

Second, you said "A lot of the more heinous acts in the Minneapolis riots were not as well documented.". This is completely false. They DID have the documentation to charge hundreds of people with the more serious crimes. The travisty is that they decided to charge them with misdemeanors and then later dropped the charges.

I don't think saying that this didn't rise to the level of an insurrection as strong of a point as you think it is. We disagree in that I think seditious conspiracy is a serious charge and demonstrates that people participating in this riot had more intentions than just being disruptive.

If you have evidence of prosecutors having evidence to pursue serious charges and choosing not to then I would like to see it.

Even if I accept your argument that there was under enforcement following the riots in Minneapolis. I don't see how the remedy to this is to lessen the sentence or charges on people involved in an entirely different incident.

From 2019, Mississippi

119 Illegal Aliens Prosecuted For Stealing Identities of Americans, Falsifying Immigration Documents, Fraudulently Claiming to be U.S. Citizens, Other Crimes

Jackson, Miss. – U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst announced today that 119 illegal aliens have been prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office since the execution of multiple federal criminal and administrative search warrants at seven sites across the State of Mississippi on August 7, 2019.

Hope they were deported or imprisoned.

Biden deported 475 plane loads of these people over four years without incident. But somehow Trump screws up his first two plane loads. The incompetence of him is blinding.

How many plane loads of illegals did he import in the dead of night?

It's amazing watching leftists cheer on another country preventing the United States from sending back illegal aliens.

Not to mention that we started with the aliens who committed other crimes, beginning with violent crime. Who would stick up for these people?

TDS is real and worse than ever.

Were the motives to riot in 2020 to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters? All rioting is bad. 2020 had extreme amounts of damage. But the motive wasn’t to instill a president against the voters choice in a federal election. See the difference? 2020-localized damage-J6 far reaching and way more damaging to our National foundations had they succeeded..

Nah, the motive of the left in 2020 was to riot to loot and destroy cities over the lie that a pos like George Floyd was murdered, when he actually overdosed on fentanyl in police custody.

Jan 6th was the biggest event of entrapment and overcharged crimes by the FBI in American history. Most of these people didn't commit a single crime but take selfies in the Capitol after they were ushered in by Capitol police. This is what a Biden weaponized FBI/ DOJ looks like.

Yawn.

Trump screws up his first two plane loads.

How so?

 

[goldmom]

They're not. Trump is the one playing games. He returned them in shackles on military planes. All he had to do was return them twice weekly, like Biden did, like regular humans beings, and we wouldn't be here.

But, no, Trump is a fvck up who can't help himself.

They’re criminals.
I don’t mind that they’re being repatriated at a more rapid and accelerated pace.

How so?

In no way am I saying J6 was not serious. It clearly was and I have always said so. But to say that if I don't agree it was an insurrection, also means that I don't think it was serious is just false.

Again, if it had been an actual insurrection....then that charge would have been levied against those there. There is a reason there are two seperate charges for these.

As for Minneapolis, here are some of the reasons given for lowering or dismissing more serious charges for those arrested:

First-Time Offenders​

• Many individuals arrested during the protests were first-time offenders. In such cases, prosecutors often pursued leniency, offering diversion programs, community service, or dropping serious charges altogether.

Prosecutorial Discretion​

• Prosecutors were given discretion to decide which cases to pursue based on the likelihood of conviction and broader societal factors. In some jurisdictions, leaders emphasized restorative justice over punitive measures to try and lower the tempurature of the those who were rioting.

• Legal and Political Considerations​

  • Some jurisdictions chose to lower or dismiss charges to avoid inflaming tensions, especially where the protests were tied to larger societal issues like systemic racism and policing reform.

The decision to lower or dismiss charges was often controversial, with some arguing it was a fair response to widespread social unrest, while others viewed it as undermining accountability for those committing serious offenses.

Good for you. You're a waste of time going back and forth. See ya!

It is never a waste of my time to help someone see the light. Have a GREAT day!
