    don't remember any of them trying to overthrow an election

    but agree, any caught rioting or looting should do time and 8 months would be a light sentence

    heck, in my state, anything under a year would be jail, not prison by default

    For a over a year the left rioted, looted, burned down buildings, assaulted people based on their skin color and murdered people. At that time left wing politicians and celebs urged them on, people like Pelosi, de Blasio and others said people have a right to protest as their cities were destroyed. The few who were actually arrested and charged were bailed out by Harris, and later many charges were dropped. There were even numerous prosecutors who said they weren’t going to prosecute any of the violent rioters.

    But go to the Capital and peacefully protest just like the way democrats told you to and the outcome is far different than what happened to the blm rioters.

    I don’t know if you folks heard about the Floyd statue in NYC being vandalized and it’s being treated like a hate crime. But if blm tears down statues, burns buildings, loots, and does all sorts of other violent things, well, that’s peacefully protesting and fully supported by the left. Heck, a person in NYC can’t even toss gum on the paint that spells out Black Lives Matter without it being a crime, but barricade cops inside a building and then set fire to it, that’s no big deal in the liberal constitution.

    Why did my iPad automatically capitalize Black Lives Matter? Disgusting.

    Do you remember blm looting, burning down buildings, assaulting people based on skin color, murdering people, killing thousands of jobs and costing us billions?

    It was only a year or two ago when liberals staged a protest inside the capital and nothing happened to them. Nothing.

    People do have a right to peacefully protest, don’t they?

    Fair punishment to all who are unruly. Not just one side. Which seems to be the desire. Which will then only lead to more chaos.

    The thing is it’s not fair. Liberals, thousands of them, got off Scott free with their looitng, arson, assaults, and billions of dollars in damages and thousands of jobs lost.

    I know. And this will in turn lead to more chaos. The progressive left certainly hasn't learned anything from history.

    It’s actually an objective assessment . Most were peaceful making it objectively mostly peaceful regardless of people disagreeing or not. Yes similar riots have occurred all over the nation. In fact, they have been far worse. Billions in damages, several murders per, incredible amounts of injuries and it’s been happening for years. If you disagree then it is you who has not paid any attention.

    it was a minor riot, certainly not an insurrection attempt that pales in comparison to most others we have had. Again, who cares?

    In other words, you have no response/rebuttal outside of Tired, Lame, Played-Out, Repetitive "Whataboutism"?:bored:

    [​IMG]

    Anyway, once again exhibiting my infinite magnamity (a trait that has established my legend) I will humor the "tired whataboutism".
    Isn't that noble of me?

    As far as the things attributed to "BLM" (most of which were perpetrated by RW False Flag Plants, and in 2020 primarily bankrolled by the Trump Dirty Tricks Slush Fund):

    I Favor ANYONE (regardless of Political Affiliation) against whom Statutory Crimes can actually be PROVEN:
    To be prosecuted to the law's fullest extent. Period.


    Now, back to the Actual Topic of the OP:

    45 Days in Jail (NOT Prison) seems rather LENIENT (under the circumstances).

    Judge sentences Jan. 6 rioter to 45 days in jail for misdemeanor

    A Tough Guy (like Mazzocco) should be able to do that standing on his head.

    “There have to be consequences for participating in an attempted violent overthrow of the government, beyond sitting at home,” U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said in court Monday.

    How can she sentence him for doing something for which he was neither charged nor convicted? The FBI now on several occasions has been found NOT to have determined there was any attempt to "overthrow the government". Expect it to be overturned.

    No police officer deaths have been attributed to Jan 9 but the fact that the left has to keep repeating the lie in order to inflame what happened only shows it wasn't as the make it out to be. Along with that this judges LIE that they were there to overthrow the government a claim the FBI has found no evidence and no one charged.

    Yeah, I think it would help a few people think twice before trying such a thing again. On the other hand, though, many seemed to think they were justifed in doing what they did because the so-called president at the time basically told them to. They seemed to be under a shared delusion that it was justified because of the Big Lie and because of things Trump (and others) told them. Trump and these others spoke from a position of authority, and I think that is a critical aspect here. They were given license by the nation's highest authority at the time, arguably, to go be lawless in order to 'save' the country. The rhetoric that day and in the time leading up to it ever since election day gave these rioters and insurrectionists the green light, really. I guess I'm saying that the instigators need to be punished as well and really should not get away with what they did. This was as much their responsibility as that of the people who went and essentially did their dirty work that day. They were used, weaponized by Trump and others.

    He was sentenced to 45 Days in Jail for a Midemeanor.

    Mazzocco, a 37-year-old former loan officer from San Antonio, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol for his participation on January 6th.

    it’s just the affects of TDS. Try not to take it personally. It was ONE officer killed by rioters and that is still one too many in my opinion
    @MJ Davies you should retract your inaccurate statement. 4 other officers were not killed AT the Jan 6th riot

    Darth, I'm not retracting my statement. It's accurate.

    I never used the words "killed at the Jan 6th riot." How on Earth are you completely misquoting me and then trying to call me out?

    Statement stands.

    Did you even READ the Link in the OP?

    Before rushing here to post Blatant MISINFORMATION?:bored:

    From Your Link:

    she sentenced him to 45 days

    Also, the link from RS used the term "prison".

    Actually it is 45 Days in JAIL!

    "8 Months in Prison"? :roflol::bored:

    So the road to nobility and infinite magnamity is as simple as following the road of ridiculousness! Does the discipline come with a real diploma, trophy or hand extension for self patting of ones back in front of mirror LMFAO :)

    Exactly.
    Legends gonna Legend.:salute:

    And, once again, back to the OP Topic:

    Where would anyone get the idea that he was sentenced to "8 Months in Prison", when it was 45 Days in JAIL!

    Carry on.:flagus:

    It was 45 days and a 500 dollar fine, according to any other source I am finding ! https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...co-sentencing-january-6-capitol-riot-1236619/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/oct/4/matthew-mazzocco-sentenced-jail-despite-prosecutor/ https://www.ksat.com/news/local/202...ceives-longer-than-recommended-jail-sentence/ https://www.ksat.com/news/local/202...ceives-longer-than-recommended-jail-sentence/

    I am a fan of judicial discretion in sentencing, which means the legislative branch needs stop with all three strikes laws and mandatory minimums that stuff our prisons with humanity for property or drug crime simply out of legislative ire and brazen politics. He didn't even to that. He pled guilty to a single misdemeanor charge. According to the DA, he spent a total of 12 minutes in the building and did not so much as rip up a piece of paper or poke a human being with his pinkie. I have not seen a lot of evidence that 'longer prison terms' discourage many potential criminals because criminals are not particularly famous for looking three steps ahead and asking a lot of reflective questions about sentencing parameters.

    I am in favor of this judge having the authority and power to make this decision based on a broad array of criteria as he sees fit from the sentencing hearing. While I am OK with this 45 days for thisis single misdemeanor charge, which is all we should be considering here, but I would feel uncomfortable with much more like 8 months. Its not logical to suggest a long sentence is more effective than a short one, only on offenses that really piss us off. These people should be treated like anyone else caught up in a riot. They did not all have the same plans, the same motives, nor did they commit the same offenses.

    False, no one told them to. Your post in objectively incorrect and based on a lie. Your entire premise for your opinion built on a false foundation.

    45 days is nothing. This person basically got away Scott free. The left cheering for nothing. 45 days for what the left irrationally believes was an attempted insurrection lol. Yikes.
