These Feds need to be locked up!

I used to frick with that guy relentlessly on the SEC Rant. That was before I knew he was certifiable.

For the record, I don't like these foot soldiers either.

Just funny watching a soft on crime progressive whine about this. We get it. Only a certain group of violent offenders should be let out to repeat their actions.

prison changes a man, also 1 out of 12 americans have a felony conviction according to chatgpt, so 1 out of 16 of these guys being actual criminals isnt really the stunning development you and this tweet make it out to be. also it says 5 out of all of them had their crime enabled by their release from prison, whatever that means, but it seems like a pretty small percentage.

About 7 out of 10 released prisoners get arrested again within 5 years.
About 1 out of 2 are back in prison within 5 years.

So compared to the average prisoner, these guys are saints

You leftist are never concerned about the pardons Biden issued to hardened criminals and the release of violent illegals by leftist jurisdictions

Shocking

They were good kids until ... prison turned them into thugs.

I’m sure there’s been some recidivism. Make your own thread,

No, I don’t think I will. I’m perfectly content pointing out your progressive, soft on crime hypocrisy, you commie twat fart

1500 pardoned and 97 have reoffended. That is a 6.5% recidivism rate. The normal recidivism rate is 20% after one year.

And some of those 97 people had charges dropped or were found not guilty.

So not only did they determine that Jan 6ers have committed crimes at a lower rate than normal, they had to include people who were found innocent by the legal system to do it. They literally proved the opposite of what they were trying to.

What an embarrassing gotcha attempt.

Tacit insult of all J6'ers... but with enough wiggle room to deny it. Well done.

I suspect if one looked at protestors on Left and Right, you're going to find a higher than average proclivity towards actions that might get one in legal trouble... whether or not that ties in directly with a pattern of recidivism or not.

I mean, heck, when Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 Leftist dudes, it turns out all 3 were criminals (I think one was a pedo, another had a record of violent assaults against family members, and the third had gun charges). That's a target rich environment for criminals if you shoot 3 protestors and all are criminals, no?

I looked up the article your tweet references:

lawfaremedia

Let's look at the language around some crimes...

quote:

---

Others have faced charges for physical assaults, illegal firearms possession, or other violent crimes. At least 20 have been charged with driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs or public intoxication.

---

Interesting to lump gun charges between assaults or other violent crimes. Later, it goes on:

quote:

---

In 28 cases, Jan. 6 convicts have gotten in additional trouble because of guns. Several of these cases have involved law enforcement finding caches of weapons in the defendant’s possession during searches related to the Jan. 6 investigation.

---

... So, a good number weren't even doing anything with the guns and didn't take the guns anywhere. They just owned them (as many people do) and seems like the Feds, once they tracked these J6 people down, used this as a pretext to upgrade / tack on charges.

Given the above, and the number of frivolous non-violent charges pertaining to stuff like drug paraphernalia and bad life decision crimes like DUI, and the premise of all these people who are criminals and should not have been pardoned starts to fall apart.

Now let's compare this article by Lawfaremedia to their coverage of BLM in another article they wrote...

lawfaremedia

Per the title, prosecutors were too aggressive here for minor crimes.

And Trump and Barr urged prosecutors to charge protestors... and many prosecutors "obliged" (as if the President coerced them and it wasn't their job) to go after...

quote:

---

defendants who were protesting George Floyd’s death and who face charges for relatively minor offenses—such as damaging police vehicles, resisting arrest, carrying a Molotov cocktail and calling for riots on Facebook.

---

So having a gun at your home with no known intent to use it criminally makes one a violent criminal who should not have been released. But running around with Molotov cocktails, destroying cop cars, etc is "relatively minor" and prosecutors were aggressive in pursuing charges here.

Got it. Lol.
