What Sentence Would You Give the 3 Proud Boys Convicted of Seditious Conspiracy for Their 1/6 Activities?

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I heard that the maximum sentence is 20 years. Why not the death penalty?

Personally, I'm inclined to give them the maximum.

I don't like using people to send a message, but I'd make an exception for this sort of thing.

I hope these aren't the only folks we can hold accountable at this level.

I'm the opposite - I think that punishment is only a deterrent if other bad guys see that it's swift and painful.

[St. Louis Hawk]

Seditious conspiracy convictions - at least 15.

F every one of them.

You're not wrong. But I generally feel the punishment should fit the crime. People shouldn't be punished extra to send additional messages to other people.

But that happens in the real world. And this is one of those times when I'm sort of OK with it.

They should treat the Capitol steps like one of those Aztec sacrifice pyramids and gut them and roll them down the stairs.

 

[MitchLL]

Execution is the correct answer.

The ultimate deterrent.

 

[TJ8869]

Death by snu snu.

 

[Flie]

Force these pride boys to live in San Francisco.

 

[ZachJump]

I would make them move in with you.

 

[IACub]

Force these pride boys to live in San Francisco.

Seems like that's also punishing San Francisco.

 

[JWolf74]

Public hangings.

Not kidding.

 

[Jim Grizzly]

Freeze their assets and deport them

 

[TC Nole OX]

 

[ping72]

Public hangings.

Not kidding.

This or firing squad are the only options since the guillotine is legally not an option.

 

[DooBi]

So many people against the death penalty until their broken political hack minds take over. They can't help themselves.

 

[Mayland]

The death penalty isn’t an option for seditious conspiracy in the U.S.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Proud boys was started as a joke by the old radio duo of Opie & Anthony.

It’s a case study of the trappings social media can create in the minds of the lonely and mentally ill.

Similar to what attracts people to gang culture.

Maybe they have become self aware of their stupidity but like many crazies, I doubt it.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Public hangings.

Not kidding.

Pay per view?

 

[JWolf74]

Pay per view?

Hell, put it on every major broadcast network.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Daily

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Hell, put it on every major broadcast network.

We should monetize it to help with the deficit.

I suggest selling lotto tickets where the winner gets to throw the lever on the gallows or electric chair.

I have no interest in that, but you know a lot of people would.

Imagine sacrificing 20 years of your life in prison for Donald Trump lmao

 

[RollingBallofButcherKnives]

Imagine sacrificing 20 years of your life in prison for Donald Trump lmao

And realizing the first day in prison that Trump really DIDN’T win the election. Hehe. That would be awesome…

Didn't take you for a death penalty guy...

 

[TheCainer]

Public hangings.

Not kidding.

Lincoln conspirator hangings.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Didn't take you for a death penalty guy...

I'm not. But if you can measure the level of civilization by how few crimes receive capital punishment - and I think that's one pretty good measure - then I have to admit we aren't that civilized.

So I'm personally opposed, but am willing to discuss exceptions. Formerly, the main exception I was willing to accept is for public officials who significantly abuse their office.

Attacking the Capital in an attempt to subvert democracy is another one.

Note that I wouldn't support the death penalty for attacking the Capital to save democracy. And, yes, I would allow the 1/6ers to argue that they were doing that. I can't see how that argument would succeed, but they'd get a chance to plead that case.

20 years seems about right, no parole and no restoration of voting rights either.

 

[joelbc1]

These lads should pound big rocks into pebbles daily with big sledge hammers for 25 years or so. 8-10 hours a day. Shackled. Sunday they can rest.

 

[ping72]

Hell, put it on every major broadcast network.

During the day and make sure it’s broadcast in all the schools.

 

[HROT]

Have they announced when their music collaboration with Trump will be released?

 

[boxahawks]

I'd hang them. In prison they'll all be Aryan Brotherhood, running drugs.

Mirror. Find one.

 

[Jerome Silberman]

The last thing that should happen is to make the martyrs. Prison, mandatory counseling and enough community service to last two lifetimes.

 

[StormHawk42]

Death to traitors

But since treason wasn’t the actual conviction, they should definitely get the max

 

[DropitlikeitsHawk]

Simple. Whatever Hunter Biden gets.
