    Wow, that's a switch! Will this be acknowledged by the Left at all? What does he deserve:

    Well there you have it. I thought no Democrat ever incited violence ever in the history of the universe, including all alternate time lines.

    Thank you showing me the light.

    Oh, and he deserves whatever punishment the the law deems appropriate.

    What do you think he deserves?

    At least he admitted that he incited that riot, unlike Trump who never admits fault.

    Trump called for peaceful demonstrations. You don't get to just make crap up.

    Is it your claim that Trump got to the podium and simply stated, "Hello everyone, please demonstrate peacefully." Then he left?

    Were his lawyer smart, he'd blame the Democrat leadership in Congress and the mainstream media for emboldening his client with their divisive, inflammatory rhetoric.

    WRONG.

    No matter how many times that False Narrative gets Repeated.

    It is Still WRONG.:bored:

    Anyway, back to the OP topic (which has nothing to do with Trump), it looks like the justice system has come down on the Riot-Inciter from Illinois.

    Exactly.

    He got caught, and he will face consequences.

    Betts' sentencing is scheduled for June 14. The statutory penalty for inciting a riot is no more than five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000.

    In any event, this is a LOCAL Story.

    What is next?

    A separate thread every time that someone gets arrested in Podunk for Jaywalking?

    Once again, I fully support this Riotous Perp facing justice.

    Sounds like you're in denial so instead of acknowledging the thread topic subject matter, you talk about Trump
    SAD!

    If Trump said "bring bricks" I would be on your side of this issue.

    He was very clear about the protest being peaceful. Have you ever actually watched the video? You Leftists and your attempts to infer what other people mean, when they never said what your infer is dishonest, evil, and we can make you look foolish every time you do it.

    It's on video. It starts at the 1:04 mark. I'll bet most of the hardcore Left have not seen this video. I know CNN doesn't play it. This speech happened hours before the riots at the Capitol.



    Note: YouTube keeps taking these videos down. This is the 5th one I have had to find as 4 others have been removed. Orwellian tactics by the Left are real, because they cannot handle the truth.

    Also, when do you actually contribute to this forum with substance? Feel lucky that anyone responds to you.

    He also claimed for 2 straight months that he won the election by a lot, but because of fraud, Biden won. For 2 straight months he decided to stop doing his duties as President and instead chose to lie to his mindless seditious traitors that came to DC and stormed the Capitol all for their Messiah, Trump.

    The subject matter is accepting fault for inciting a riot. Something Trump and his supporters have a hard time accepting.
    Sad.

    The left accepts the consequences of their actions. The extremist right have been blaming antifa and blm for making them storm the capitol. The entitlement is shocking.

    So if the Trumpocity was not a politician e.g. an honest human the Trumpocity would pleade guilty since he is guilty.

    I am not a Trump supporter. I voted for Jo. I support the truth and there is nothing Trump said that a reasonable person could translate into a call for violence.

    President Donald Trump on Monday urged Vice President Mike Pence to oppose the congressional certification of the 2020 election on Wednesday.

    “I hope that our great Vice President comes through for us,” Trump said during a campaign rally in Georgia for Republicans Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in their runoff election on Tuesday.
    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...ke-pence-comes-through-for-us-on-january-6th/

    "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!" Trump wrote at 2:24 p.m. ET as the mob of his supporters was breaching the building.

    A pro-Trump mob chanted "Hang Mike Pence" as they stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

    The dude in Illinois should get the same sentence as those who wanted to kill Mike Pence.
