At least he was caught before he died of old age. Better late justice than no justice. Also, the headline should read “Pastor… CONFESSED to her murder”

This is just so evil.

52 FUCKING MONTHS. They give longer sentences to people who smoke pot.

This is a fucking miscarriage of justice. I don’t like cops and totally believe in ACAB.

But 52 months for beating a police officer while in the act of overthrowing our democracy seems light to me.

What’s fucking wrong with these judges? Are they complicate in this?

ME5SENGER_24 ,

For real! You tried to overthrow the US Government and failed, nearly killing an officer in the process. Life is the only answer

SCB ,

4+ years seems fair to me? You gotta keep in mind “attending a riot that couldve overthrown democracy” is not a specific crime. Like, it just isn’t. We’ve never had to charge people in this situation before.

Thus, he wasn’t charged with Jan 6 as a concept. He beat the shit out of a cop. I’d want a BLM rioter who beat the shit out of a cop to not do life, so why should this guy? I’ve hit cops - should I be imprisoned for life?

Frankly, I disagree that hitting a cop is especially more of a problem than hitting any other person. Laws like that are we we have cops doing the shit they do.

Also, no one should be in prison for any nonviolent drug offense full stop. Totally agreed there.

I agree kicking fucking shit out of a cop you should be given a metal not prison. And drug crimes are bullshit.

But trying to overthrow our democracy is a crime it’s called treason and should be treated as accordingly.

I would be very interested to find out any instances of a black person beating on a cop and the length of their sentence.

SCB ,

I bet ya I’d be pissed about that sentence.

Hazdaz ,

Get ready for this shit to happen again because these traitors are getting only a slap on the wrists.

We are essentially encouraging them to try again since clearly we aren’t taking it as seriously as we should.

I hope this news gets in the head of all child murderers going about their lives out there, unpunished. Your time can’t come soon enough, you’ll never be safe, you sick fucks!

Hunter2 , to worldnews in Spotify raises premium subscription price for millions

It’s my fault guys, just the other day I was thinking of how they had never raised the subscription price (in my country), unlike Netflix, which felt like they were raising it every year.

Woah how did you make your username show up as ****** ?

HobbitFoot , to worldnews in US Capitol rioter who beat officer with flagpole sentenced

You can beat a cop and only get 5 years?

gameboyhomeboy ,

If these assholes were people of color they’d have all been killed, no trial, and sure as hell no light sentencing

Arbiter ,

If you’re white and conservative.

Also, "rioter" is not an accurate description either...

BonesOfTheMoon , to news in Pastor at kidnapped US girl's funeral in 1975 charged with her murder

That’s hideous.

ferne , to news in Spotify raises premium subscription price for millions

It’s probably the best subscription I have for the price, so I don’t really mind a small increase.

BURN , to news in Spotify raises premium subscription price for millions

Might be the push for me to go to YT music, which I already pay for with YT premium, but I’ve never wanted to use it. But now that Spotify is giving me a reason I might just switch.

Funny you mention that. I just got an email last week that my youtube music price was going up to $16.99/month. I’ve used it since the days of google play, before it joined with youtube and it was like $9.99 (mostly out of a dislike for spotify). But it isn’t the best service tbh, what with low-quality audio and a buggy app interface. So I was finally motivated to make the switch to Tidal this week. Loving it so far… hope they don’t follow suit and up their sub price like the others (knock on wood).

FWIW, the email I got from youtube said something about being able to sign up for a cheaper rate if I nuked my account and made a new one on youtube through a web browser. Not sure why that would make a difference, but I was too over it to even bother.

Pika ,

I am actually debating canceling my yt premium sub over it and im going to twitch turbo, I have been progressively using yt less and less anyway and to be honest, the new price point (which was 13.99 for me) is not worth the benefits it provides. mobile queuing can be used via playlist or watch later, adverts are annoying but avoidable with new found apps approaching. Downloading for offline use is a joke, it barely has ever worked for me. Picture in Picture mode is buggy and for the most part I don’t use it. This combined with the absolute crap recommendation system they have had the last few years(like seriously its all either stuff in my watch history or stuff that is unrelated to anything I watch). I’m sure they are just following every other company but, it might just push me off lol

Also to clarify your nuking account thing. I expect you signed up via either apple subscriptions or google play subs, both of which take a chunk out of the money given. So that might be what is going on with the price diff.

wahming ,

Except... google play sub's cut would presumably go to... google

Pika ,

yea, but internal to internal charges are sadly not uncommon. so they would still do a charge.
