(Politico)   Shortly after crying & begging for leniency, a Marine Corps veteran who participated in the January 6 insurrection was sentenced to 68 months in prison."You're entitled to your political views but not to an insurrection. You were an insurrectionist"   (politico.com) divider line

Why are all these insurrectionists such crybabies? Jesus Christ, let's bring back Joan of Arc to teach these pansies a little bit about courage and grit.

Good.  People should be held accountable for their actions.  Now do someone who was at the top.  Stone, Bannon, TFG... you know, the people actually responsible for making this happen.

FTFA:  "...and described efforts to better himself while in custody, reading self-help books..."

He did his own research, so at least he has that going for him.  Which is nice.

But Caldwell's hearing was most notable for the extensive expression of remorse, delivered almost entirely through tears, to a nearly empty courtroom.

"I must face my actions head on," he said, before delivering a voluminous apology to the officers he attacked. "I hope that you and our country never have to face another day like January 6th."

FAFO you faux patriot.

You know how Marines will tell you that there's no such thing as an ex-Marine?  "Once a Marine, always a Marine", that kind of thing.  The marine's I've known wouldn't insist on that distinction for this guy.

Caldwell said he spent the days immediately after the attack rationalizing what he did and looking for validation from family, friends and his attorney. He said he now looks back at his actions and "it literally floors me."


You were looking for praise because you thought you were going to win. I'll bet $5 that more than one member of your circle of contacts reached out to the FBI and gave information about how much of an ass you are.

Yeah, this.  He was eligible for up to 20 years, right?

Gotta ask, though - is this 68 months including the 24 he's spent locked up awaiting the disposition of his case?  Or a fresh 68 months?

Either way, his Marine buddies back in Texas are gonna give him side-eye when he comes back and isn't allowed to possess a firearm any more.

I doubt that he has the judgement to choose the self help book that he needs most.  He probably doesn't even need any self help books, simply turn off every single source of lying bullshiat that got him to the place he finds himself in.

Probably 68-24=44 or 3.6 years. Does the time served before sentencing count double or triple?

I've never liked the prison-industrial complex, and I'm not going to start liking it based on the politics of a defendant.  It sounds like you have adopted the common American view of prison as a form of revenge.  But if you really want to change people's behavior, certainty of consequences and actual rehabilitation will give you much better results than state-imposed brutality.

No. This is a case of a member of the military attacking his own country. That's treason, no matter how you change the words.

"I must face my actions head on,"

Lucky guy. He should be facing his actions with his head off.

Close, but not quite: "ex-marine" already has an established definition.

The term is used specifically to identify someone who, for example, received a dishonorable discharge (or engages in other f*ckery) such that the Corps basically disowns that person.

This is in contrast to "former marine", which is the correct way to refer to someone who was honorably discharged and hasn't, you know, joined an insurrection.

Interesting occasion to go full Pollyanna.
Question our penal institutions JUST as they are about to punish someone actually evil.
