    He was armed and he trespassed. He was so stupid that he actually believed he would get away with it. Now he's facing a possibility of 20 years and a fine of $250,000.

    Scaring people doesn’t make you a terrorist. By your definition every mugger can be labeled terrorist. Terrorism is a very specific thing, not just frightening people.

    20 years for that is idiotic. People commit murder and get less than that.

    Many or most of them were members of RW organizations that are dedicated to overthrowing the government by force and installing a new government of their own liking (white supremacy totalitarianism). That makes them terrorists to a very large number of Americans.

    No matter. You can gripe all you want but them's the maximum penalties for the charges.

    Calm down. I was calling the punishment idiotic, not you. Unless you were the one that decided the punishment, lol.

    Wow. I'm really interested in reading more about this. Do you have a link that proves your statements? I'm getting giddy just thinking about reading it.

    Being in a right wing organization doesn’t make you any more a terrorist than a left wing organization. I doubt hardly anyone there was trying to “overthrow the government with force”. Was it a stupid thing to do? Probably. Fine them, let them do a little time. Destroying their lives over some civil disobedience is draconian.

    While this media distraction takes places dozens of Federal cases against ANTIFA rioters in Portland are being dismissed with little fanfare.

    No we still don't know why he brought it and how he expected it would be needed, and while intent makes no difference as an element that specific charge, his intent will in any plea deal or sentencing hearing and it sure will make a difference in filing more serious charges. Its the difference between using it to escape if a cop grabs him to stop his entry or arrest him , or using it to subdue Mike Pence for kidnapping.

    I think its a good chance that supplying that cell phone is a deal-braker for the Feds to stop fighting release.

    They should have realize there's a difference between stealing a tv from a business vs threatening to kill elected officials at their place of business. While they were preforming an official constitutional duty.

    He removed all of his weapons and the stun gun from the home prior to turning himself in, that alone shows motive. I doubt he will be honest about about what it’s purpose was. Maybe he needed it to protect himself from stray bears?

    They wanted to Hang Mike Pence.

    Threaten a police officer gets you a stiffer sentence than threatening your neighbor.

    I suspect the same holds true for DC politicians.

    Yes it could tell you that he's just not very bright about how the feds build their cases and the absence of that stunner will stop a successful prosecution on those weapon's charges or the confiscation of those other guns when they get found. He was not bright enough to get rid of the box that stunner was purchased in and he forgot the camera footage in the Capital. Not many bears there. He's sunk on that one.

    I don't expect much candor on motive, I expect the prosecutors to figure it out, or lean it out eventually, but the Judge is in no credible position to hold him long without any bail absent more charges.

    And federal courts and buildings threatening the occupants and trapping police in their headquarters and then setting the headquarters on fire and storming the White House injuring over 60 law enforcement trying to gain entry while the President and his family have to be evacuated to their secured quarters or storming the Capital and trapping members during the confirmation of a new Justice and attacking the SCOTUS trying to force entry during those hearings?

    Or just when it is Trump supporters

    300 arrests have happened so far for Capitol riot.
    I bet that is less than 10%. So most are let off and not held. zero bail.

    So, same justice system.

    Well no, but the laws aren’t the same. There are more laws protecting our democracy than our rite aids.

    He attacked federal property during a riot intent on killing people at the Capitol. Hang Mike Pence.

    Not yet. No, we don't know.

    But storm a police station and sit in the chiefs office with your feet on the desk of the chief is likely to be viewed worse than standing outside watching it.
