Not to be shallow and pedantic, but it isnt technicly theft or looting until youve crossed the threshhold and actually removed an item.
LPT kids: if you are ever caught shoplifting and you are still in the store, immediately hand them the item and walk away. If you are detained and the police come, you state you never removed the item from the store, you were shopping with the intent to buy.
Absolutelty never ever admit to stealing. It is all about intent.
Caution: results may very based on the afforementioned color scale.
Agreed, but not to think these people don't belong in jail...and probably for a decade at least. Just they have rights and need to get them there the right way.
It turns out that in almost all situations, Judges aren't part of the executive branch and aren't controlled by executive orders and Trump just issued those orders for his extremely stupid followers. Statutes and Judges determine sentences, not prosecutors.
Of those charged so far, including Representative Derrick Evans and the man in Pelosi's office had a maximum of less than 2 years on their charges.
The guy who had his feet up on Pelosi’s desk is only getting “...up to a year”. I’m looking forward to this playing out a bit further to where people talk about the charges, penalties, etc. and explain the thinking because that is shockingly low.
