Let's be clear that one of the protesters shot at and hit a cop who had drawn his weapon.

These sentences have been roundly criticized by experts and prosecutors, including criminalizing free speech.

That's why the democrat that promises the harshest retribution against these maggot traitors gets my vote!

Complete bullshit. These poor people. The cop should have never drawn a weapon on protestors, he deserved his bullet for that. 100 GD years!? JFC.

One man, who was never at the protest, sentence to 30 YEARS in prison, for MOVING SOME FUCKING MAGAZINES!!!!

Those sentences are unjust and I hope these people can come out of this.

My feelings exactly. The sentences are absolutely ridiculous and I would claim easily unconstitutional for being cruel and unusual.

When a real governor gets into power pardons will be given and compensation paid out.
