BLM Murderer Gets 10 Years, J6 Defendants Get 10, 15, 17, 18, 18, 22 Years

Biden Regime Politicizes “Justice”

Surveillance video footage showed Lee pouring accelerant around the shop & lighting it. He was so proud of himself, he had a friend video-record how he murdered a man. Here is Lee in front of the burning pawn shop, declaring, "We're gonna burn this [expletive] down."

There is no better example of the politicalization of the US Department of “Justice” than the extremely varied treatments of a (black) BLM thug who murdered another (black) man, and six unarmed January 6th defendants who killed NO ONE. Apparently, the corrupt Biden Regime is comfortable with massive, ongoing, violence when it is committed by The Left. But, should “right-wing”* Americans enter the US Capitol Building for three hours, causing very little damage, causing only minor assaults, killing no one and interrupting a proceedings, the Biden Regime hunts them down like they are career criminals who just escaped from prison.

BLM MURDERER: TEN YEARS

Even though Montez T. Lee, Jr’s victim was a black man and Lee had an extensive criminal history, this feral brute was sentenced to only 10 years of prison time in U.S. District Court in St. Paul last year, well below the 20-year federal guidelines. 

The corrupt federal judge went below federal sentencing guidelines to give a BLM murderer a slap on the wrist.  As if that were not corrupt enough, the federal prosecutor ignored the fact that a black man died in the arson fire.  He only charged the BLM thug with arson.  Period. I thought black Americans were viewed with more value by Democrats. Isn’t THAT why the Democrat-run cities allowed days, weeks & months of rioting because one white policeman killed one black man in performance of his duties?

To add insult to injury for the victim’s family, the federal prosecutor, sounding very much like Lee’s defense attorney, told the judge he saw the defendant as “a protester,” not “a rioter,” and argued for leniency for the arson death. This, despite the fact that Lee, age 26, drove 87 miles on May 28, 2020 to set fire to the Max It Pawn store in Minneapolis with Oscar Lee Stewart, Jr., age 30, trapped inside. Stewart, father of five, died from smoke inhalation and excessive burns.

NO ONE DIED: J6 DEFENDANTS GET 10-22 YEARS

Former Proud Boys** national chairman Enrique Tarrio, who was not in Washington DC on January 6, 2021, was recently sentenced to 22 years in prison, the longest sentence yet for January 6th protestors, after he was convicted for “seditious conspiracy”*** to overturn the 2020 election.

Prosecutors sought 33 years in prison for Tarrio, age 39, of Miami. He allegedly had organized Proud Boys members who were among the first to breach the building which suspended the counting of Electoral College votes for about five hours. He did not direct anyone to assault police nor destroy property, said his lawyers, who proposed a sentence of no more than 15 years.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly agreed with prosecutors that Tarrio's actions could be punished more harshly as "terrorism," for trying to influence the government through intimidation or coercion, but not at the level of trying to blow up buildings. [Could be? Bet he doesn’t call 2020 riots terrorism.] Kelly pretended that the 2020 riots were not a form of intimidation to force governments to change their policies. Of the few 2020 BLM/Antifa rioters who were tried, Kelly’s boss, the US DOJ, charged none of them with “terrorism.”

DEFENDANTS CAME UNARMED TO THE CAPITOL

The longest previous sentence went to Stewart Rhodes, an army veteran & former leader of the Oath Keepers, who got 18 years for “seditious conspiracy” and other crimes. The Justice Department has appealed that sentence, wanting 25 years. Rhodes was unarmed and no one died!

Judge Kelly also sentenced Nordean of Auburn, Washington, to 18 years in prison, below the 27 years the corrupt prosecutor recommended. Kelly sentenced Biggs of Ormond Beach, Florida, a Purple Heart recipient, to 17 years in prison, thus rejecting the 33 years demanded by the prosecutor.  Kelly sentenced Rehl of Philadelphia, a Marine veteran, to 15 years in prison, below the 30 years demanded by the prosecutor. And Kelly sentenced Pezzola of Rochester, New York, to 10 years in prison for breaking a Senate window. The corrupt prosecution wanted 20 years. Pezzalo was acquitted of “seditious conspiracy.”   All these men were unarmed, killed no one and have no criminal history. 

Michael Byrd, a Capitol Police Officer murdered an unarmed woman as she was trying to climb through a window, but he was never charged nor fired from his job that requires him to carry a firearm.

*Something that Big Media labels as “right wing” today was considered mainstream or even “left leaning” fifty years ago. For example, Democrat President John F. Kennedy’s views are deemed “right wing” today by corrupt media and 2023 Democrats. This American long ago learned that the media is extremely biased against anyone who opposes Liberal policies, branding them with all manner of names that do not apply.

**MY EXPERIENCE WITH PROUD BOYS:

Portland gave birth to Antifa in 2007 and has grown ever since.  Now that the Portland police have been defunded, Antifa owns the streets.  From the time Trump was running for office until the time my husband & I escaped in December 2020 I noticed that Antifa showed up at virtually every event that they, the hate-filled thugs that they are, deemed "fascist."  That included religious gatherings, events where a local GOP office holder was speaking, Pro-Life conferences, the annual Reagan Dinners, the annual Lincoln Dinners, as well as at Trump rallies.  Indeed, certain comedians that Antifa didn't like cancelled their engagements in Portland and/or never booked them, due to threats on their lives.  Many, many venues stopped booking any event Antifa did not approve of because the insurance costs were too high.  Antifa HATES free speech and free press.

While I am aware that Mr. Tarrio made at least one trip to Portland during the five-month long BLM/Antifa riots, I never met him.  I do know that, were it not for Proud Boys presence at events, the violence from Antifa would have been worse.  Just their presence scared the Antifa thugs, many of whom are weenies who always pick on people who are weaker, such as older ladies.  Proud Boys acted as unpaid bodyguards.  There were minor clashes between the Antifa terrorists and Proud Boys members from time to time; but, I know from personal observations that attendees & event participants would have been physically harmed by Antifa if Proud Boys were not standing by.  Proud Boys members just stand around, watching.  They did not engage Antifa thugs unless they were harassing or assaulting attendees or participants.  From early 2017 to late 2020 I was present at 25-30 such events where Antifa thugs were kept at bay by Proud Boys merely hanging around.

***Seditious conspiracy became a federal crime in 1861, the year the Civil War began. The government sought to punish rebel Southerners who resisted the authority of the Constitution and existing Union. The charge is a less serious sister to treason.
