with just that info? According to Orwell, the guy was guilty of Thoughtcrime.@Filthy would you consider this a thought crime?
The guy thought about killing the judge but didn’t attempt to. He arrived near the residence but immediately starting walking in the opposite direction before he called the police on himself to request mental health supports.
but in the broader sense, "Thought Crimes" are crimes where having unpopular opinions is criminal...the opinions of racists and bigots are unpopular, but that doesn't mean their crimes deserves special punishments.
From what I have read the last few pages, according to some posters, that guys thoughts were more of an assault on functioning democracy than all of J6. What a world we live in.
According to the charges he intended to assassinate Kavanagh. It appears it love beyond simply "thinking about it" however he is certainly entitled to due process.
Was the ‘attempted assassin’ in legal possession of those firearms? I’m assuming so if he wasn’t charged for any firearm offences?
Why don't nuts ever consider giving their target a stern talking to or a brisk scolding??
Because that is not what they were groomed to do by their handlers.
Nuts grow on trees, Rusty.
Not deez nuts
Stepped in the party I was drunk as hellNutz to ya nose to ya lips to ya chin
Three bitches already said "Eric, yo breath smells!"
it was a temper tantrum on functioning democracy.
it's what happens when the Executive Branch refuses to do its job, and instead weaponizes Free Speech.
but they could have dropped a nuke on the ceremony, and it wouldn't have changed that Biden was going to be the 46th POTUS.
he probably broke several laws on the way, but according to Orwell "Thoughtcrime" is thinking negative thoughts about the government.
I didn't read about the specific situation...but simply thinking Kavanaugh deserves to die and getting off the bus by his house with Motive isn't criminal.
Much less of a threat than a guy who though about killing a judge then called the cops on himself.
hard to take anyone seriously who calls it a coup.
but yeah, GTFO of Congress.
and take Pelosi with you.
same same. neither is any kind of a threat to the function of democracy, or a functioning democracy.
only difference is the body count.
Attacking law enforcement, break and enter of govt buildings, vandalism, death threats to elected officials and theft of govt property
vs
no crimes at all
… I would say one if definitely more of a threat to democracy than the other.
PAY NO ATTENTION TO ECONOMIC DISASTER AROUND YOU!!!
Biden has gone full-throttle at making the first half of his Presidency about how he's not Trump, at least enough to salvage some seats at mid-terms
*Insert whataboutism comment here
committing a crime isn't a threat to democracy, that's why we have laws.
the assassination of a judge would certainly involve breaking and entering, as well as "attacking law enforcement". What the guy actually did isn't criminal, but none of the Jan6 crimes were actually attacks on the function of democracy. There's already a law. Nothing they did that day was more than individual violence and property crimes.
I get it, but my point is that none of what happened on Jan6 was going to change Biden's election. If you're going to charge Trump, charge him.
the show trial is a Circus to distract the plebes from the lack of Bread.
but none of that actually happened.
