+OverSword Posted January 29 #1 Share Posted January 29 Quote Former federal prosecutor Brendan Ballou says those pardoned by President Trump for their role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack have “never been more dangerous.” In an essay published Friday by The New York Times, Ballou urged local officials to protect immigrants and other groups that he thinks the defendants might go after first. “While some convicted rioters seem genuinely remorseful, and others appear simply ready to put politics behind them, many others are emboldened by the termination of what they see as unjust prosecutions,” he wrote. “Freed by the president, they have never been more dangerous,” the ex-prosecutor added. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5106487-prosecutor-jan-6-rioters-freed-dangerous/ So freed, these J6 pardonees will now be emboldened to attack illegal aliens and other disenfranchised minorities functioning as the brown shirts did for hitler? I'm not really buying that but I'm sure there will be or are people freaking out about that possibility. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted January 29 #2 Share Posted January 29 Well, they say if you put someone in jail for a petty crime they will come out a hardened criminal. At least that's what they say when they don't send a criminal to jail. "They deserve a second chance...this is their first offence." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tatetopa Posted January 29 Popular Post #3 Share Posted January 29 Nah. Apparently they will just go back to their old habits of drawing guns on police officers at traffic stops and deceptively trying to hook up with minors on chat sites. The cops shot one, he won't get a third chance. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well once you receive a presidential pardon you can even buy a gun so I guess it must be slate cleaned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inhumane leaders and rulers are subject to be killed which has been the way for all of human history. His base is more aggressive towards people of color, women, disabled, elderly.. the more vulnerable in the population. 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am saying in politics, if youre getting assassinated or feel threatened by basically HALF of the population then youre probably not championing everyones best interests. And be real, Trump is divisive and he encourages hate. I am not condoning the violence I am just saying that is what history tells us happens.

You've just added "or feel threatened by basically half the population" into the equation (which I think is an incorrect framing of the situation anyway, but that's still more information than was available one post ago). All that existed in this discussion was "if someone is trying to assassinate you, it's because you're inhumane", an objectively ridiculous statement to which I am strongly disagreeing. . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Link of Hyrule Posted January 30 #25 Share Posted January 30 Just now, joseraul said: I am not talking about the broad definition of assassination... I am saying Trump is garbage and people will have it out for him. You're justifying violence because you don't like the guy. To repeat - being the target of assassination isn't evidence that the person is inhumane, you've simply stated it as truth and expected everyone to agree with you. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
