Justice in this shithole country is a fucking joke.

It sounds like at least one of these guys actually opened fire on officers if I’m reading the end of the article correctly. If so, it doesn’t seem like an outrageous sentence.

I just learned of this case and have done a bit of reading today.
It seems like yeah overall that yes, most of them should go to jail, and that conspiracy charges aren’t crazy for most of them.
To give some of them 30 years for conspiracy is a miscarriage of justice.
Some of them arrived together in an organized fashion with guns and body armor and one of them attempted to kill a federal agent. That’s bad even if vibes are terrible around ice. It’s also bad even if these people were probably cosplaying revolutionaries more than anything.
But yeah. These sentences are wack anyway you slice it

5th circuit strikes again. But I do agree that from the facts conspiracy is more than fair and Song probably could’ve been charged with more. The sentences are just disproportionate and egregious and reflects political bias.

Seems like these people deserved a stiff sentence, but aside from the shooter these seem disproportionate.
There is just too much variability in sentencing when we have people getting 0-10 for trying to overthrow the government…
