[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're desperate. He's a complete and total disaster. He left 1500 criminals out of jail. Go back to wherever you came from and go to college.[/quote]

Not a fan of the Jan 6 insurrectionists but they served more time in mail than many criminals.  Free up the space for the drug dealers and murderers whose sentences Biden commuted.[/quote]

Their egregious offenses are worse than most. They tried to undermine the state and deserve a lot worse. [/quote]

The problem is the vast inconsistency between how the J6 people were treated and the 2020 BLM people.  The J6 people protested for one day, in one place, what they believed to be a legitimate grievance about vote counting in two swing states (GA and PA).  Some of them went too far and committed crimes, and were rightly arrested and sentenced.  But the sentences were vastly disproportionate to the crimes - 10, 20 years for trespassing and property crimes like breaking windows.

The BLM protesters in summer 2020 also were protesting what they believed was a legitimate grievance (police mistreatment of Blacks), and by any objective measure, did far more damage than the J6 protesters, in terms of personal injuries, deaths, assaults on police officers, and massive amounts of property damage, in multiple cities, over a period of months.  But not one person was sentenced to a single day in prison.

By June of 2020, 14,000 people had been arrested for their role in the riots.  I think that is a bit more than your "not one single person".
