Trump is a pedophile and Texas gov Abbott pardons jury convicted murderers, no charges for the ICE agents who gunned down citizens in broad daylight, and collective punishment is a crime against humanity under systems of justice.
I’m not sure I fully understand this… Like apart from the punter who shot the cop, the others are getting an average of 50 years each for vandalism. Is that correct?
My mind genuinely cannot comprehend that. Like you don’t get that for murder in most places.
That’s U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman for the Northern District of Texas in DfW making this decision on the record.
Buried in this:
During jury selection that morning, local press reports said, around three-quarters of prospective jurors expressed opposition to President Trump and ICE.
This is a case in Texas. While grave injustice is being done in terms of the state’s actions, this is a good signal for “average American” and their reaction to these policies.
Yeah, also maybe explains a bit about the guilty verdicts in the first place - I bet every single one of those prospective jurors got rejected and the prosecution didn’t have to spend any of their challenges to do it because being opposed to ICE meant they were “biased”
Yup. And every juror that was sat either was a lying MAGAt or was just as naïve as one and therefore thought they actually were sentencing terrorists.
Benjamin Song was sentenced to 100 years in prison and Maricela Rueda to 70. Savanna Batten, Elizabeth Soto, Meaghan Morris, Autumn Hill, and Zachary Evetts each received sentences of 50 years. Daniel Sanchez Estrada, who was not at the demonstration, was sentenced to 30 years on charges relating to concealing documents in the investigation.
A disgusting abuse of power.
If theyre going to flat out fucking lie and disappear people like this, there is literallu nothing to lose by hitting back hard.
Fascism by pedos
Savanna Batten and Elizabeth Soto, two area activists, were not alleged to have belonged to discussion groups where the demonstration was planned. In Batten’s case, prosecutors relied on her black garb as a means to tie her to the conspiracy; in Soto’s, prosecutors argued that her black clothing and her operation of a small printing press that produced anarchist “zines” tied her to the conspiracy. Both received sentences of 50 years on Tuesday.
Fascism.
What do you expect from a shithole country
Sounds like they would have either been significantly better off, or at minimum no worse off, had they followed through and executed every fascist on site, leave no fascist witnesses.
Take notes. Learn. Do better.
If you resist an officer of the state in any benign way. They will charge you with assault etc. If you find yourself firing on them, there is no forgiveness. Or no harm no foul. Even if you don’t hit anyone, the state will still bury you one way or another. So yeah, once you start it. You better make it worth it.
They want to make people afraid to protest, but it’ll end up like 3 strikes laws…
If some idiot takes shit too far, and now you’re facing 50 years because you happened to be walking past in a black hoodie at that moment…
At the drop of the hat in a heated moment, people suddenly have nothing to lose. People are going to start acting like cornered animals in the moment, because cooperating is worse than death even if innocent.
It’ll be like the movie Heat where the hothead kills a cop, everyone is pissed, but the response in the moment is to wipe out all the cops because 1 dead cop is just as bad as 3 dead cops.
Once you cross that line, numbers no longer matter.
If ONLY they had MURDERED ICE Agents or RAPED Children THEN they would have had a MUCH Lighter Sentence!
