There is an in-group that the law protects, but does not bind. There is an out-group that the law binds, but does not protect.
He was convinced and his leniency is due to lack of direct involvement and being young. His sentence is house arrest.
All of this is in the article.
Lack of direct involvement? He showed up! He stole a riot shield! He maced people! He pushed towards breaking into the capitol!
What more do you need???
Well if he had tweeted about arming yourself to defend our nation from an insurrection he'd get years, like another Floridian: Daniel Baker.
Sounds like will be perfect for the police
I am telling you what the judge considered in his judgment, not what I think about this person.
Yes, we can read. We don't need you to repeat it. Don't espouse views you don't hold. It makes you look like an idiot
"What's an explanation" the confused person thought. "Explanations make me angry!"
a "lack of direct involvement" would be something like showing up to the Capitol to protest, happening to be right in the gray area between the peaceful protestors and the violent ones, and getting rounded up by the capitol police who mistook you for one of the violent ones.
Stealing a riot shield and macing people is the textbook definition of direct involvement.
He maced his own people, so as far as I'm concerned he's incompetent enough to be halfway to an ally.
A stupid criminal is still a criminal.
That is why he was convicted.
