Judge Merchan’s sentencing of Donald Trump to an unconditional discharge is criticized as a mockery of the jury’s guilty verdict on 34 counts. The lack of meaningful penalty is deemed unacceptable, especially considering the severity of the crimes. The author expresses outrage at the delayed criticisms from figures like Bill Barr and John Bolton, questioning their motivations and highlighting the potential consequences of inaction. Ultimately, responsibility for this outcome is placed on voters, Attorney General Garland, the Democratic party, and judges who seemingly applied a lenient standard to Trump.

A Dutch court recently handed down sentences to five individuals involved in what’s been described as an Amsterdam “Jew hunt,” with the longest prison term clocking in at a mere six months. This lenient sentencing has sparked considerable outrage and debate, raising serious questions about the adequacy of the legal response to antisemitic violence.
The perceived leniency of the sentences is particularly galling to many, especially given the alleged premeditation involved. Reports suggest that the attacks were not spontaneous but rather the culmination of organized planning via Telegram, where groups openly discussed and coordinated the “Jew hunt” days before the incident.… Continue reading
Zachary Alam, a participant in the January 6th Capitol riot, was sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in the attack, a sentence among the longest handed down in connection with the event. Alam, who had been the subject of conspiracy theories suggesting he was an undercover law enforcement operative, was convicted of eight felonies and several misdemeanors for his actions, including assaulting officers and smashing windows. Despite acknowledging his actions were illegal, Alam maintained that his actions were justified, echoing former President Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election. Federal prosecutors argued for a longer sentence, citing Alam’s violent and aggressive behavior during the riot, while Alam’s lawyer argued for a shorter sentence, emphasizing his mental health challenges. The judge, a Trump appointee, ultimately rejected Alam’s claims and sentenced him to prison, calling his actions “delusional” and not those of a patriot.

I am utterly disturbed by the recent news of a 15-year-old girl being sentenced to only three years in prison for killing a 64-year-old man. This teenager, along with a group of other young girls, committed a premeditated act of violence that resulted in the tragic death of an elderly man who was battling cancer and had multiple disabilities. The fact that this girl only received a reduced charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, downgraded from second-degree murder, is simply outrageous.
The details of this case paint a grim picture of our justice system, where heinous crimes committed by minors seem to receive lenient treatment.… Continue reading
Trump Bellyflops Into Federal Court In Desperate Effort To Avoid NY Sentencing Date
The news of former President Donald Trump’s desperate attempt to avoid his upcoming sentencing date in New York has left many scratching their heads in disbelief. Despite being convicted by a jury on 34 counts of creating false business records to cover up another crime, Trump seems determined to evade the consequences of his actions.
One can’t help but wonder how a man with a team of 250 lawyers at his disposal suddenly claims that September “crept up on them.” The theatrics of big men feigning surprise over the start of a new month, as if they were unaware of the impending sentencing date, is both baffling and comical.… Continue reading
I can’t wrap my head around the sheer audacity and recklessness displayed by the man who pulled a gun at a Burger King worker after they refused to accept drugs as payment. It’s a scenario straight out of a crime drama, but sadly, this was a real-life incident that unfolded in Aurora, Colorado. The man in question, Eugene Robertson, was found guilty of a staggering 17 crimes, including eight counts of attempted murder. This horrifying incident began as a drive-thru altercation but escalated into a full-fledged crime spree, with Robertson brandishing his weapon at multiple individuals later on that same night.… Continue reading
Former Rochester Police officer Shawn Jordan received a sentence of 10 weekends in jail for the rape of a 13-year-old girl. Let that sink in. A grown man, a former law enforcement officer, admitted to raping a child, and his punishment is barely a blip in the justice system. This is not just a miscarriage of justice; it is a slap in the face to all victims of sexual assault, especially minors.
The fact that Jordan will only serve 10 weekends in jail is appalling. It sends a message that if you are a cop, you can get away with heinous crimes, even those as despicable as raping a child.… Continue reading
