Four people associated with the Oath Keepers were convicted on Monday of conspiracy and obstruction charges stemming from the attack on the U.S. Capitol in the latest trial involving members of the far-right antigovernment extremist group.
A Washington D.C. jury found Sandra Parker, of Morrow, Ohio, Laura Steele, of Thomasville, North Carolina, William Isaacs, of Kissimmee, Florida, and Connie Meggs, of Dunnellon, Florida, guilty of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and other felony charges.
I imagine that they are going to go away for awhile. Chris Rock once said that if the cops have to chase you, you're going to get a beating. The same street rues apply to trials. If you're guilty and you make the state work to prove it, then when you lose, you're going to get a harsher sentence than you would if you had cut a deal.
On the more positive side of the coin, these trials and sentences may tamp down the ardor of Trumpanzees to put their pasty white asses on the line for him.
Another, darker thought: During the BLM protests, Trump wanted the protesters to be shot. Biden's not going to apply Trumpian logic to the MAGA loons, but it's amusing to think about.

The righties always want to shoot the protestors. Back in Berkeley in the 60s', they had tanks parked on city land waiting to be called up. Tanks? On city streets, in America? That just might not have gone over as well as they expected. I am not surprised that they still want to kill the 'dirty hippies'. Don't much want a war over Donald either, but if there is to be one, I hope it is put down forcibly. The shoe is on the other foot now and I am the one that is all for Law and Order. Almost funny how 55 some odd years have changed me.

Amen.
