Interesting. I guess it's more helpful to invent facts that support the narrative you've already committed to than to operate in reality.

I lived in midtown Atlanta at the time with an office downtown, so I'm guessing I had more direct exposure to what happened than most on here. I absolutely criticized the violence and lawlessness during the BLM riots and called for every single person caught breaking the law to be prosecuted to the full extent the law allows, and I did it more than once on here. That's what you do when you believe in the rule of law instead of partisan whataboutism.

I'm also on record here criticizing Biden's border policies as early as the first year of his presidency.

I'll repeat what I posted above:

No prior sitting president has ever refused to accept the outcome of an election.

Violence had never been used before as a tool in an attempt to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.

No president has ever praised and pardoned violent felons who were acting in his name and committing crimes in an effort to benefit his political prospects.

Criticize Biden and the Dems all you want. It doesn't change the three facts above or their entirely unprecedented, unique and destructive addition to our national political legacy. Past is prologue. We have every reason to believe that Trump will gladly add to this list, and with less institutional pushback due to placing luminaries like Pete Hegseth in his cabinet who will absolutely place loyalty to Trump above loyalty to the Constitution.

Not a single person served four years as that would have required a conviction within days of the event. In fact, the first person was sentenced on July 19th, 2021 after pleading guilty due to the overwhelming evidence of his guilt. He served eight months, so like many of the people who pled guilty and were sentenced to prison time, he was long ago released and these pardons had no practical effect on time served.

In fact, almost everyone who was found guilty in a trial has served well less than three years as of their pardon this week.

But what you are saying is that the sentences, based on the crimes either pled to or found guilty of in a court of law and often determined by GOP-nominated judges, were unfair and for all of those still in prison, serving to January 20th, 2025 is just the right amount of time to represent fairness and justice. That’s almost magical it’s so convenient.

Again, just admit that the violent felons deserved their pardons because their crimes were committed in the name of the guy who has the ability to reward his “hostages and heroes” for doing his dirty work. It has nothing to do with justice or excessive sentences or time served.

He is hell bent to make a point and will not acknowledge anything that does not align with his point. Yes what he says has some truth and yes some should not be pardoned. Some might should be reviewed and kept in prison others let out on time served. Any reasonable person can see that without lettting emotions rule them. Yes Biden and the left have done a lot of the same things and some to lesser degree and others to greater degree. The left has continually tried to hide and manipulate and that is what makes me furious.
Will you are butt hurt as others are as well.
