White privileged gets only 14 days for domestic terrorism on the Capital. Leonard Pearson \u201cPearce\u201d Ridge IV drove to Washington, D.C. to participate in the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, that resulted in more than 140 police officers injured and damages upward of $1.5 million.

Wait! I've got it. The judge meant to say 14 years and said 14 days. Right? Or maybe meant to say 2 years, but mistakenly said 2 weeks. WTF?

Well-written piece, Marisa. I appreciate your inclusion of so much of the judge\u2019s commentary and thoughts.

A 20-year-old has been sentenced to 14 days in prison for his role in the insurrection, despite his lawyer's argument that his brain may not have been fully developed to understand the crimes he was committing? \n\nSeriously?https://nypost.com/2022/01/06/capitol-rioters-lawyer-claim-clients-brain-wasnt-fully-developed/\u00a0\u2026

Clearly NONE of their brains are fully developed. A 14 sentence is BS. 14 months at the least is warranted. \n\nCapitol rioter's lawyer argued client's brain wasn't fully developed https://nypost.com/2022/01/06/capitol-rioters-lawyer-claim-clients-brain-wasnt-fully-developed/?utm_source=twitter_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site%20buttons&utm_campaign=site%20buttons\u00a0\u2026 via @nypost

I mean if you can be trusted enough to go off to war, carry a gun and vote then I\u2019d say you\u2019re capable of knowing right from wrong.

Of course the Judge rejected the argument. Anyone that stormed the Capitol at the urging of mental defective Donald Trump over the Big Lie would naturally have a brain that wasn't fully developed. #January6th\n\nLawyer argues brain was not fully developedhttps://www.rawstory.com/capitol-rioter-leonard-pearson-pearce-ridge-iv/\u00a0\u2026
