#4Rhetorically speaking, are "consequences" the same thing as "justice"? I sense that the "prison should be about rehabilitation, not punishment" crowd is actually perfectly happy with doling out punishment in this situation.

#5AFAIK the government is still withholding thousands of hours of possibly exculpatory video evidence. It shouldn't be possible to get any convictions under such circumstances, so it's also improper to talk about sentences.

Oh really? That's an extraordinary claim: care to provide any evidence? Otherwise, I call BS.

Online, people constantly project hypocrisy onto those they've grouped into "crowds" by observing two different opinions and, because they seem to be on the same half of the political divide, surely they are mostly coming from the same people. Even if you could identify individuals who have both opinions, frequently a reasonable argument can be made regarding the differing contexts (in this example, one merely has to formulate an argument that some prison terms are too harsh, while these terms are not). Going further, even if you could find individuals with opinions where a reasonable argument can't be made, they are still only individuals. There are frequently so many barriers on the road to tying hypocrisy to some opinion you feel is bad, it's not worth the petty political hatred it engenders.

Eh, I just looked at the submission and comment history on your brand-new 5 day old account: you're just a troll and not even a very good one at that.

I don't know the exact state of affairs right now, but this should be enough to get the gist of what's been going on.

#10How about prosecuting all of the BLM and antifa terrorists that burnt every major city to the ground last summer?
Huh? How about throwing those fuckers in jail for life!
The only person murdered on J6 was a peaceful protestor.
