This is truly appalling … most of these persons were entirely peaceful protesters, not very different from the millions who have attended the No Kings demonstrations. One individual brought a firearm, unknown to most or all the others. The idea of a massive “Antifa” conspiracy is — as the article suggests by referring to show trials — a sickening Stalinist charade. We must hope that even larger “No Kings” demonstrations and pro-democracy demonstrations, always non-violent, will follow between now and November.
The Prairieland Sentences Are a National Emergency

And compare this to the treatment of the January 6 rioters, who were given much lighter sentences and eventually pardoned. This is unconscionable!
And even treated as patriots … Are we surprised that many of those who were pardoned have now been charged with subsequent crimes? I’ve seen a range of estimates, from 40 to 97 people charged with offenses committed after J6.
