They might even kill you in the first place so you won't ever need to serve the sentence

It’s completely insane. I know that prison terms are decided by the judges (within the windows of their charges), but I cannot for the life of me believe that 8 or however many ‘impartial’ jurors decided that terrorism charges for 50, 70, and 100 years were OK. There’s just no fucking way.

A murder charge gets you at max 99 years in Texas. The guy who shot the officer didn’t even kill him. There’s evidence that was withheld from the court that the officer drew first.

I cannot believe so many people in this country and around the world are OK with outright tyranny. I might as well be a separate species than them

It's Texas...

That requires enough of the citizens to not be absolute sheep. The loudest most confident people are often some of the dumbest and unfortunately most influential. Even on juries.

This is why I won't go to Texas

It’s always been like this. The fbi and cia hunted down the civil rights leaders and the vast majority of the kkk and southern lunch mob terrorists we’re able to hold positions of power with zero consequences. The only time the working class and oppressed minority groups were ever able to gain rights and privileges was through force and overwhelming multilateral solidarity.

Yes it’s a war. Maybe we should all recognize that.

That's a lot of hope for the future of a failing nation.

While deserving, this would require violating our own laws.

We cannot cut down all the trees to find the devil Mr. roper.

I wish I still had your capacity for hope.

This is state, so Texas would need a normal governor first.

The democrat is more likely to issue blanket pardons to trump and company in hopes of “moving forward” in a spirit of bipartisan good will.

Biden pardoned the kids for cash judge.

It's not left vs right, it's the global corporatists vs a very divided 'everyone else.'

Fortunately there's very few that support Trump. And it's always been a small minority

They’ll be bulldozing corpses into mass graves before long.

Already are just not in plain sight yet

My ancestors/people would take issue with that. They've been found in mass graves in the US and Canada for decades upon decades. Camps and mass graves are always the ultimate resort of the state. Every continent, every era. Generally the average person is safe enough to not have to worry about finding themselves in one. Surely the state would never turn on them to serve itself. Surely.

The United States is not dying - it’s dead.

A country that has been doing this since it's inception is not dead because it continues to do this thing.

Wish it would die, but the Fascist States of Amerikkka grind on atop the bones of the honest, innocent, and good.

Most likely been tortured in a for profit prison in El Salvador

...they did though?

Yeah, good thing that Jared released that bitch that tried to steal an election. Same thing for the orange asshole releasing all the terrorists that attacked the Capitol.

Disproportionate? Those guys were heros.
