(26,340 posts)of these people? Dont get me wrong I would smile if they all ended up in jail but the odds are a number of them will be found not guilty and that will embolden more of the morons. A pardon for most of them being done by Biden on the other hand could potentially take a lot of the wind out of the sails for these morons and maybe get some of them to actually see that the Democrats are not out to get them like the right wing media claims.

(7,437 posts)is by itself a detriment to repeating an offense, especially if you're working and don't want to get docked. If you are not proven guilty of charges, you likely have to take off work at least twice to appear in Court. When that happens, you LOSE MONEY.
So I'd not be in favor of some kind of blanket pardon. If you show up and break laws, you pay. You pay even if you're not proven to be guilty.

What in the ever-loving world?
cstanleytech
(26,340 posts)I mean I would love it if they went prison emotionally because I despise them but I am trying to be practical.
That means for me at least that I am trying to think what is the best option to kneecap the wave of pro Trump.
So would prosecuting all of these people do that? No.
In fact it could have the effect of helping them grow.
That is why I think a limited pardon for most of them (mainly those simply charged with trespassing) might help kneecap the ability for the Trump base to grow.
Justice matters.

not fooled
(5,803 posts)to think that they would recognize a pardon as something that deserves gratitude.
Unfortunately, they would just become further emboldened and use the clean slate as a springboard for more violence.
Most of these people are too far gone.

(26,340 posts)target of this anyway. Its the other 70+ million Republicans I am hoping to sway.
Peel off enough of those and it could hopefully weaken the remaining ones.
PJMcK
(22,059 posts)One of the biggest mistakes in U.S. history occurred at the end of the Civil War. The U.S. Government decided (due to pressure mostly from General Grant) not to prosecute the leaders of the Confederacy. This was done primarily in the interest of trying to reunify the country during the failed period of Reconstruction.
Had the Government arrested, tried, convicted and punished the traitors, much would have been different in the ensuing 100+ years. There would not have been the romanticizing of the Southern Generals. There wouldn't be military bases and parks named after those traitors. The Confederate flags would have been denigrated. There are I'm sure, many more ways that our history would have been different.
In short, we wouldn't still have this nonsense that "the South shall rise again."
In our present circumstance, the seditionists must be called to account. They are a threat to our nation's very existence.
We should show no mercy to those who would destroy American Democracy.

(6,922 posts)Most will be found guilty. We arrest criminals when there are photographs and videos of them committing and bragging about crimes. No pardons for insurrectionists.
cstanleytech
(26,340 posts)are the ones I am thinking Biden might want to consider pardoning mainly to prevent creating martyrs out of them.
The rest that assaulted police officers with things like pepper spray, gouging eyes out not to mention murdering them should not be pardoned.
Progressive dog
(6,922 posts)Ignoring treachery and rebellion is never a good idea. Pardoning the soldiers who volunteered to participate in treachery, rebellion, and murder is not a good idea and undermines the rule of law.
There is a reason why most laws hold all participants in a crime that results in death equally guilty of murder.

There are some serious anger issues there, a need and compulsion to destroy, antisocial personality.

How's the working our for you, James? I posted about a nice meal I had on Valentine's Day. You posted video of you committing an insurrection. Six of one, really. My beef wellington was kind of dry. Your beef is about about to lead you to prison.
I think my money and FB pictures were better spent. But you do you, buddy.
