Just a news for the BLM haters and Jan 6 comparerers - man who burned stores during George Floyd riot given a minimum sentence of 5 years. Guys who attacked the Capital and beat on cops - haven't seen a minimum this high yet.
BTW, The guy was guilty of arson and I agree with a harsh penalty. The slimey traitors, however, have been getting off easy.

As far as I'm concerned treason is a capital crime.
Insurrection is defined to be different than treason however, a designation I do not agree with.
At the very least they're worse than hate groups like the KKK, worse than cults, they're trying to kill democracy, and I'm all for their execution and I don't support the death penalty for normal crimes like murder and arson, but I do for insurrectionist and traitors.
Notably, there is no indication that the arsonist had any affiliation with BLM.
In my view, the Jan 6 insurrection posed a far more dangerous situation than the BLM protests. The BLM protests were representative of democracy while the insurrection was an affront to democracy.
I thought you were supposed to line traitors up against a wall in the public square and then shoot them by firing squad.
Second.
Except that from their point of view, progressives are traitors, so we'll be the ones the militias hunt down. The GQP is pro-Dystopia as well as pro-fascism. Getting the extremists out of the FBI, DOJ and Pentagon should be a priority. We should be asking for renewed loyalty oaths to the Constitution.
