Sobbing Capitol Rioter Tells Judge She Just Wants To 'Disappear' Into Obscurity - Ring of Fire

[Rhiannon12866]

During a sentencing hearing this week, a tearful 56-year old convicted Capitol Rioter told the judge that she understands that her actions weren't "Christ-like" and that she just wants to "disappear into obscurity" after the ordeal is over with. The rioter was facing up to six months in jail for her role in storming the Capitol, but the judge let her off with probation and community service. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins talks about the situation and why we can't always believe the crocodile tears that we see in court.

4. Wtf is with these judges?

Gosh, it seems as if many of them want criminals on the streets!

20. I understand the sentiment, but . . .

. . . Two years' probation is not nothing. The restrictions involved with probation can be very onerous.

5. I would wish for more than 10

This bunch should be bundled off to Gitmo and left with the other terrorists.

7. Oh, I couldn't agree more! For life. No early release. No parole.

I think I'll start using it.

8. Definitely pulled one over on the judge....

ALL these mf'rs are "sorry" when they are caught...."sorry" when they are held accountable....but more than likely more pissed off and eager to pull the same shit again in 2024.

Loce them up...AT least for a month! Community service is bull shit. Probation...hell, they can probably keep away from being arrested for 24 months.

She definitely pulled one over and got away with it. Fuck these crocodile tears.

9. Man oh man...these "patriots", these "leaders"...

these “revolutionarys”…they just fold like wet paper cups, like saturated paper bags, like an anti-vaccer without his viagra or shot glass of urine…

What would Patrick Henry think? What would have been the outcome if the troops at Valley Forge were as spineless? As lacking in conviction?

Take that prison sentence with pride! Invest in a “White Power” tramp-stamp, eat your baloney sandwich with a side of jello, and start planning your ultimate Shawshank Redemption moment!

You are wasting your chance for glory!!!

11. LOL

I laugh at your response without detracting from it's truths.

12. What were these people thinking?

Did any of them think ahead?

What would happen AFTER the insurrection, if it had worked?

What would happen AFTER the insurrection, if it failed?

Obviously not, otherwise their reaction may have been more cautious, like . . . . Err, no, not getting involved with that!

Instead, they went ahead, in their droves.
Now the shock-horror of it all sinks in.
A threat of jail time can do that.
Even to the thickest of Americans.

I know some people aren't very smart, but why so many is the USA?
Something in the water, a bad education system, bad parenting? Media having a field day with propaganda?

She might be wishing for the ground to open up and swallow her, but I'd prefer a jail to do that instead.

13. what bothers me the most

is that these people were willing to break the law because a lying piece of shit pathetic man-baby couldn't accept he LOST THE ELECTION

that is just seriously fucked up

[SouthernDem4ever]

19. Just because the lying assholes they listen to haven't been removed

they think that is validation they are telling the truth. We need a new classification in broadcast that we can label this crap. Maybe "free speech but lying" would work.

14. Sobbing for the Slobfather

Womp womp....

[IzzaNuDay]

17. Once again, white women tears get her off.

no female of color (regardless of age) receives this same level of grace. In some cases they may not live to see a day in court. Disgusting!
