a national guardsman got high on unspecified drugs, stole an APC, and drove 60 miles to Richmond before police managed to stop him, livetweeting the entire goddamn thing

which got weirder when people realized he was the same guy who tried to start a "sjw-free" version of Tor but managed to massively gently caress it up somehow

he also followed a whole bunch of infosec people and earlier tried and failed to fork tor because apparently he was upset about "SJWs" some time after one of the tor devs was outed as an actual loving rapist

It's important to note that this dude isn't some shitshamming Specialist or a Private in the junior enlisted grades, but a company commander, officer, and 11 years in the Army under his belt with tours to Afghanistan. Officers basically never do poo poo like this.

The ACLU does not like the Nazis but will defend their right to free speech as a matter of principle.

The ACLU has offered to defend Rush Limbaugh before. They're not as partisan as you suggest.

I mean yeah, you're right, but them defending Limbaugh doesn't change the poster's attempted point. He said they were getting hard over thinking they could be defending a nazi (growing flaccid when realizing it would have been someone opposed to nazis). There isn't a whole lot of space between defending Limbaugh and defending a nazi.

I almost would agree with this if he commuted the sentences to what they'd already served. Mandatory minimums are dumb and 3-4 years seems fine?

But nope, full pardon.

just to be clear, this isn't the Bundys or anyone else involved in the actual occupation

these are the ranchers who got sent to prison for
a) deliberately setting fires on public land to destroy evidence of illegal hunting, endangering hunters who were camped nearby, which they knew about because they flew their private plane over the area to survey it before their hunt
b) setting fires on public land while a burn ban was in effect, endangering firefighters and hunters that were camped nearby

and although they were never prosecuted for it, they had a history of child abuse. for example, when 16-year-old Dusty Hammond got a tattoo on his chest, they removed it...with sandpaper (it was reported to the police, but the Hammonds got the charges dropped by agreeing to enter into a diversion program instead)

Why would you support commutations for people who spent decades terrorizing the FWS? They didn't just recklessly risk the lives of firefighters. They repeatedly stalked and threatened to kill the people who work at Malheur.

There is absolutely nothing redeemable about the Hammonds.

after the hammonds were convicted on the first arson charges, they negotiated a settlement with the government in which they would agree to not fight those convictions, and in return the government would dismiss all still-outstanding charges, recommend only a five-year sentence for the convictions that had already been obtained, and allow the sentences to be served concurrently

Absolutely no rights of the Hammonds, substantive or procedural, were prejudiced. They got all the process they were due and then some. You're making excuses for garbage people and there isn't even some broader principle underlying your argument. "The prosecution can't appeal" is a very dumb position to stake out. We're not talking about a do-over on a jury verdict, we are talking about a question of law. The people, represented by the government, have as much an interest as the defense in getting the law right.

Mandatory minimum for drug offense against a minority: my hands are tied

Mandatory minimum for arson during which life was endangered: this shocks the conscience, I won't do it! Appeals court: sorry, you have to. We have precedent from all those cases where we put away minority defendants for WAY too long

I think on the balance our society would be well served if this was a precedent-setting SCOTUS ruling that would get applied to the hundreds of thousands otherwise serving mandatory minimums, but this is just more Trump garbage to embolden the nutjobs
