      Today I learned they hanged Mumford for less than what some of these people did.

      The irony is, the Trumpers want to be able to deploy this style of harsh and unjust justice at will.

      They were gleeful at the chance to do it on Jan 6th and those police officers that died, oh well, casualties of their war for freedum to do exactly that as they want. It would also be great to shut up the BLM, gays, climate scientists, drag queens, minorities, immigrants, and especially Democrats and progressives.

      They would love to hang all of these “evil” people that kill babies and drink their blood. It’s really terrifying what they are digesting inside their cult feedback loops when one begins to peel back the layers.

      They are now more than a bunch of dolts being grifted, well there’s still plenty of them being grifted without a doubt, but the issues still remain with their reality and what they hope to do to clean up the world and to simplify everything down.

      So let’s imagine that standard were applied.

      You have over a thousand citizens executed within 3 months of the event.

      Do you think folks would have considered that a proportional response?

      Turns out that 19th century military justice during wartime isn’t a good model for most people’s concept of justice.

      That was during wartime and it was a court martial. Courts martial are still notoriously harsher than civil courts today.
