... I am shocked how many of the Jan 6 insurrectionists are back on the streets. They should have been held at least as long as the average black defendant does before bail.

That is how they will fram it to the base, they just hate us and we did nothing wrong. They think the SC will provide cover and this won't get out that it was a lot of the repug party officials involved in planning the desired overthrow and the militias were their paid proxies.
