You do understand they’re all getting kiddie gloves for an attempted coup right? Like a group of people march into the legislative body with a noose in an attempt to disrupt and prevent the peaceful transfer of power after an election and participants get less than a decade in prison on average. If this played out in Mexico what portion do you think escape the death penalty? China? Russia? Brazil? I’m not advocating for executing the rank and file, but I am saying that years isn’t what we should be looking for. They should be looking at decades. Leaders should be looking at life. This is a slap on the wrist that feels dangerously similar to the response to that of the beer hall putsch.
They think of themselves as revolutionaries. Historically revolutionaries win or they die.
