Federal prosecutors say a Texas man who advocated for a mass shooting of poll workers and threatened two Arizona officials and their children has been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in federal prison.
I mean, the first amendment allows them to make whatever comment they want about what they believe the punishment should be. You remember the First Amendment, right?
Anyway, 18 U.S. Code § 2381 - says treasonous MF can face the death penalty. I think deportation is a slightly smaller penalty.
“Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.“
Yes it’s anti American to think that people who attempt to influence elections based on threats of violence (terrorism) should be stripped of citizenry and either thrown in prison or deported to some shithole
yeah dudes getting what he should get, well a portion anyway, as an american. he had his day in court and now is facing the consequences. he should have a longer sentence but whatever. theres people in jail for longer for much less.
That’s the opposite argument you should be making here. There are people in prison for 40+ years for weed meanwhile actual American terrorists are given minimal sentencing. That should make you fucking livid.

Don’t spout your anti-American shit here. Don’t think you’re any better than the election deniers if you do.
Where did you find anti-American shit in that comment? I am genuinely curious.
It’s un-American to stand up for free and fair elections.
Did you reply to a comment and it was removed? I’m new to lemmy and seeing frequent comments like this and looks buggy (or could be the app)
I still see the comment that I replied to.
Show me the constitutional provision or law that allows us to strip Americans of their birthright and ship them to an extra-judicial torture camp.
