Stuart Rhodes, the leader and founder of the Oath Keepers, has been sentenced to 18 years for seditious conspiracy against the United States, while prosecutors had been looking for 25. In a first for a January 6 case, judge Mehta actually agreed with prosecutors to apply enhanced penalties for terrorism under the argument that Oath Keepers sought to influence the government through intimidation. Judges in previous sentencing had really shut down the Justice Department's request for the terrorism enhancement, which can lead to a longer prison term
I saw specifically in Portland, which was definitely one of the hotter spots, I remember watching a video where some guy was just walking down the street, and some other dude walked up behind him and hit him in the head with a bat. And it probably killed him. If it didn't kill him, it definitely messed him up, probably for life. And that guy, I don't even know if he got arrested. He probably didn't

And many of those people got sentenced to time. Some people got literally a slap on the wrist. And I think that just kind of speaks to we can't even agree on what actually happened, even though it's pretty straightforward and a lot of these people are still walking around and as far as I'm concerned, a lot of them probably need a blindfold and a cigarette

Not to mention you had also mentioned about a gentleman getting assaulted with a bat, and I kind of looked some of that up as far as Portland, and I'm not sure what you're referencing, but what I looked at was actually an African American gentleman who was assaulted by, as he claims, two white gentlemen. So that's another case. Like, the facts are key here, and I think that the treatment should be equal
It was the same thing with Nancy Pelosi's husband and that whole thing. Strange, strange circumstances. And the media was very sketchy about what actually went down there, and they wouldn't talk about it. And with the Portland thing, I think there's a lot of theo violence that has been scrubbed from the Internet, I'm positive

You know what? They got arrested like h***, and they tried to make a case of making a statement. I'm like, you can make a statement without going number twosy in front of cell phones and TV cameras. So I think across the board, everybody needs to be held accountable. FBI informant I looked into that a little bit was actually a handler that was embedded. He actually messaged and let people in the FBI know that they were coming. We knew it was televised
But unless you're Jackie Chan, for the rest of us, we could get seriously injured over something really stupid. Like somebody can just trip on the stairs and hit their head and they're dead because they smack their head just right or whatever. Like punching somebody. You can punch somebody wrong and kill them. People shouldn't be just okay with the idea of just walking up and kicking somebody or walking up and punching somebody. It doesn't work like that
