Yet freed in 24 hoiurs vs the J6 prisoners since J6
sad
did same antics as J6 minus violence to enter hearing for J6
Nothing to report here! Don’t you know that LIBERALS don’t have to follow the laws? Just us deplorables can be arrested and thrown in jail without bail!
Karma…she can’t be fooled…
Were they searching for something to use against them, or Planting something they could use against them?
Insurrection attempt no?
I’m guessing that they were not put in jail without bail or legal representation. Unlike what happened to trespassers on January 6, 2021. Interesting.
Charged with the same crimes as the 6 Jan protestors. why are they not still in jail and unable to lawyer up?
Why? Is this a trial run, a test to see if they would get the same response
that J6 people did? Will they be put in jail with no due process, abused,
no lawyer, bare steel bunk, no blanket, no water, and LOTS of physical
abuse. Anyone shot, anyone beaten to death? NO, guess it is not the
same legal system! It is only for Americans & I guess they think you are
above that law.
Is Colbert the leader of this insurrection, this attempted coup? This is the worst thing since the Civil War. Will their rights be voided, will they rot in jail for over a year without bail to be abused by their political rivals? Will they face judges that will manipulate their pleas by publicly badgering them and extorting false confessions through ultimatums of sentencing? If so, it will be the best thing to happen to late night TV since 2015.
Major breach of security?
Seems similar to Susan Collins calling the police when she found a message written in chalk on the sidewalk, a PUBLIC space.
Late, but they are finally getting to the fact that this was a set-up for the media. How many were paid to instigate and promote this?
They won’t remain behind bars for over a year without due process, as were the January 6th protesters.
I assume they will also remain in jail until, their trial.
