A woman who mailed then-President Trump a threatening letter that contained ricin weeks before the 2020 election was sentenced to 262 months in prison on Thursday, the Department of Justice announced.
Good. I despise Trump, and look forward to seeing him and all of his crooked cronies behind bars. However, nobody has any right to threaten or attempt to harm anyone. This imbecile deserves the full weight of the law just like all of these morons threatening the judges and prosecutors overseeing Trump’s now numerous indictments.
Honestly, good.
You think trump’s fans are being bad now, bad back then. Just think of what would’ve happened if they got to Matyr him.
If he’s to die, it should be rotting in prison for the crimes he’s committed.
People say this a lot but honestly I don’t think he’d become a martyr if he died. I don’t condone assassination attempts obviously, but the key to a proper martyrdom is the people supporting you have to actually believe in what you stand for, and have to be loyal and dedicated. People who root for Trump don’t actually care about him or his policies, they just swallowed a bunch of propaganda, and are rooting more against the team they don’t like. We’ve already seen how quickly people drop Trump when he’s not their golden goose anymore. If he died, there’d be no point in following him if he isn’t spouting off buzzwords and dogwhistles constantly anymore. They’d just move on to the next guy who doesn’t like immigration or the gays. I mean, it’s not like anyone calls Hitler a martyr, or any other authoritarian dictators that have died in the past. A martyr has to be someone who inspires people beyond their death, and brings attention to a particular issue. Trump doesn’t inspire anyone, he’s just a convenient figurehead to rally behind.
Very astute.
Nah, they’re gonna be maximally awful no matter what.
Observe as absolutely no democrats leap to her defense because they’re plenty of things but not terrorists.
It’s always crazy to me that someone would risk so many people like that - poison doesn’t care who it kills, and anyone from postal workers to mail sorters to trump’s secretary could have gotten seriously injured or killed. Just crazy irresponsible and dangerous.
She deserves it, what a maroon!
Imagine thinking Donald Trump opens and reads his own mail! He has people who Cat-in-the-Hat those hard words for him.
Idiocy like that is too dangerous to be on the streets.
Yeah seriously. I straight up think Trump deserves the death penalty, but doing this is psychopathy, nothing more. It will only kill some random mail handling clerk trying to scrape enough to feed their family, not anyone remotely involved with the fascism you claim to be against.
Good. This woman could have sickened not only her target, but anyone who came in contact with what she sent. While I share her politics, hate makes monsters of us all, and she crossed the line. While I don’t think the “there are good people on both sides” argument holds much water, actions like hers remind me that there are definitely bad people on both sides.
Particularly relevant username.
Don’t do that. Just don’t. If someone kills him now, we will never see him rot in prison!
Worse; if somebody kills him it’ll make him a martyr. He’s already looked at as an evil Jesus by these lunatics - there’s no need to encourage the legitimatization of their insane Cult.

As an atheist, this is an insufferable way to be atheist/agnostic.

Most people assume you’re just using the exclamation and not making an actual religious statement. You don’t have to include a disclaimer.
Jesus Christ dude (though I don’t believe that Jesus H Christ is my lord and saviour).
Guess it’s just a myth that Canadians are polite.
Trailer Park Boys and Letterkenny are much more accurate depictions of Canadians
I’m glad she was caught and is being properly charged for her crimes.
