Trump Justice Department Seeks Harsher Prison Terms For Rise Above Movement Members

AP:

“Hatred for Jews, blacks and feminists motivated three members of a white supremacist group to attack counterprotesters at a rally for far-right extremists in Virginia, federal prosecutors argue in seeking stricter sentences for the men this week.

Justice Department prosecutors recommend prison sentences ranging from 30 months to 46 months for Rise Above Movement members Benjamin Daley, Michael Miselis and Thomas Gillen, according to a court filing Monday. Each faces up to five years in prison when U.S. District Judge Norman Moon sentences them Friday.

The prosecutors said a “hate crime motivation enhancement” should be applied to their sentences. That enhancement would increase the recommended penalty for each defendant under sentencing guidelines, but the judge isn’t bound by those guidelines. …”

I haven’t forgotten what happened to RAM.

I haven’t forgotten how we were wiped off the internet after the 2016 election so that Facebook and Google and Twitter could be rewarded with tax cuts.

I haven’t forgotten how Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments for meekly defending “Western civilization.”

I haven’t forgotten how Trump’s DOJ dropped all the charges against the Antifa who ran wild during the inauguration.

I haven’t forgotten the three times that I sat here and watched the GOP Congress single out White Nationalism for condemnation.

I haven’t forgotten how I watched Blompf and the GOP cynically exploit Antifa violence as an issue in the 2018 midterms only to drop the issue and pivot to criminal justice reform after the election.

I haven’t forgotten how Blompf campaigned on stopping the caravans in the 2018 election and how the border collapsed on his watch.

We have an incompetent president who sold out to the donor class and who has outsourced the government to Jews and mainstream conservatives. These people aren’t capable of solving any of our problems. It is a waste of our time to return them to power because it is too much to ask of them to even make a half hearted effort to push their own stated agenda much less ours.
