Far right J6 rioter who attacked Pelosi's office 'surprised' as judge sends her directly to jail

69. It's a perfectly appropriate comparison

of how the justice system operates in political cases.

We see "other" people serving and being threatened with serious jail time for trying to vote (FL? ), while reich-wing thugs who commit crimes of violence, oppression and insurrection get soft time. Only the very worst get comparable prison sentences to Black people convicted of voting-because-they-thought-they-could.

It's a specific case of the general set of unequal justice, applied to political power. I think "white privilege" gets over-used, but these cases scream of it.

The Ren Fest celebrates old white feudal culture. I've been to one, it was fun, but it focused on feudal class structure of European culture. On one hand, greener low-tech (wheels and levers) ; on the other hand, lords and ladies. The criminal in question thought she deserved to be allowed to go to Ren Fest, and her judge agreed. Wow.

I would be delighted to find that I'm wrong and she gets hard time, with the felony charges re-tried, but I'm not holding my breath.
