Folks, read this and think about it a bit.
According to Sandlin, Barnett was targeted by black prison guards who said to him: “I hate all white people and your honky religion.” This savage response is likely due to a relentless fake news media campaign painting the pro-Trump patriots as “white supremacists” and “neo-Nazis” without evidence.
Let me make this clear: If this is true every single one of these “guards” must be immediately arrested, indicated and tossed into general population. NOW.
Why?
Because most of the people arrested for participating in the actions on Jan 6th thus far have committed no more serious a crime than trespassing. Yes, that’s a crime. Yes, they will be punished. Many of them were charged originally with wildly-excessive and false claims but some have already been downgraded and more will be over time. Bet on it.
Not that the specifics of the charges originally, or what will ultimately “stick” much matter since we’re talking about basic principles here.
