First of all, one has to ask if a poster is categorically wrong on one point, is thier whole argument flawed? what else have they completely ignored?
#1 Are you not paying attention? Many of the participants on January 6th are getting lengthy sentences Just as our government and court system should work. Why spread false information here or anywhere else? No more no less

#2 This is why I support RFKjr in 2024, we have become too partisan and less tolerant of opposing political views. In a country of 330 million plus people as diverse as the US is, we must find our common ground or live in perpetual political chaos, societal disruption, and division
Leaders of the Democrats and the Republicans love the division and how the chaos energizes thier respective voter bases. So their respective supporters sometimes spurt out untruths, exaggerations, and outright lies to support their argument more no less. They wallow in thier ignorance instead of denying it.
#3 Lastly where did I say, suggest In this thread or any other thread, or infer falsifying business records was less important than Trump's charges on January 6th?
I did not, yet you have that notion floating around in your old noodle for some reason. All I said was the January 6th charges will be more difficult to prove. No more no less
So your response is 2/3rds falsehoods and 1/3rd solely your opinion.
Most of his supporters who participated in the riots were handled light sentences. The majority of them. And the person behind the event, Trump himself, wasn't even charged. He was very 'lucky' I can say and he could save received a lengthy sentence at that time.
Quote:Early on, the majority of charges filed against the rioters were for disorderly conduct and unlawful entry.[11] Other charges include assault on law enforcement officers;[12] trespassing; disrupting Congress; theft or other property crimes; weapons offenses; making threats; and conspiracy, including seditious conspiracy.[13] Some criminal indictments are under seal.

My argument was clear and I didn't misinform the readers as you claimed. You think I don't read the news and don't know what is happening?
My second point is still valid. Trump was convicted for falsifying business records which is by far a much lesser crime to what happened with the Capitol riots.
I also maintain my position that he isn't the only person who should have charged for similar crimes. Hillary and Bill did exactly the same and were never charged for anything. But that's a failure of the legal system.
