These guys all look pretty healthy for living in a Gulag for 4 years. And they got to use social media too! They just don't make Gulags like they used to I suppose.
Oh sure, just because they may have gotten enough to eat, they weren't being otherwise physically mistreated by the guards or other inmates, right? No psychological abuse?
Seems like you really get off on imprisoning innocent people.
Even if, hypothetically, they weren't physically abused, are you saying that being jailed or imprisoned for 4 years after committing no real crime (or at "worst" misdemeanor trespassing that does not warrant such a harsh sentence) in and of itself is NOT a great injustice?
If one of these prisoners never entered the Capitol and were prosecuted, then I have sympathy for them (with the exception of the leaders of the right-wing Antifa gang leaders, who also should've reaped what they sowed). If you choose with your free will to cross the threshold of the Capitol and committed a crime, and trespassing is all that you did, well that was a choice that those folks made that day, and they suffer the consequences of that decision.
And I know your argument of the police "invited" them in, and if you believe in that, then you should also believe that all of the illegal immigrants the last 4 years that came into the US by Biden's open border policies also committed no real crime because they were also "invited" in and should also not suffer the consequences of their decision to break the law.
Hell, I give Were credit, he says he was there that day, and he would've done the same thing that would've done, which is not participate in a crime, whether you think it's real or not is kind of irrelevant.
I also take umbrage to calling these people hostages. You care about these people more than the actual American citizens taken hostage by Hamas. You have NEVER written anything here about the real hostages, who were kidnapped from their homes and tortured and God forbid are already dead. That was not a free will choice. That's what a hostage is.
As in an earlier post (which you have no response to), congrats, you have taken what was a double standard between left wing violence and right wing violence and eliminated it by demonstrating the rule of law doesn't matter anymore, and political violence and lawlessness is now acceptable. You have seceded the moral high ground and decided to live with the pigs in the mud.
The fact that you fail to see what those potential consequences will be nor do you see your hypocrisy is really telling.
I don't "get off" putting innocent people in jail, I believe in the institution of rule of law. You don't.
