Does this guy really need the national fame with MAGA that comes with making it on NBC? I don’t get it. We’ve already had 400 convictions. This is a random kid that pled guilty to civil disorder and got 2 months in prison.
If anything, an article should question how someone whose allocution contradicts the evidence got 2 months despite the prosecutor pushing for a year.
Exactly. It should be anonymized in the media. “400 traitors, terrorists, and bigots have faced justice for their 1/6 actions, with more convictions coming in every day” <–that is the headline we should have. Few names, few faces, just facts.
I have mixed feelings. With mass shooters part of the reason for calls for anonymity is that they’re dead. For these people they’re alive and public knowledge of their crimes can give further consequences leading into my main mixed feelings: on one hand with some people like Brock (the rapist) Turner this can be a way of society providing the punishment that a pay to win justice system didn’t provide out of privilege, but on the other hand some people support these crimes and will celebrate them and also is it right to do and does it hinder rehabilitation?
Idk I think you’re probably right, but I do think that there’s more to it than just the name in the news thing

When it’s a politically-motivated crime, shame just doesn’t work as a punishment or deterrent. Instead, it’s a medal to put on their chest.

I think exile (or its equivalent) fall under Cruel and Unusual punishment. I think we shouldn’t look for mobs or media to be the forces of justice; we should be demanding the justice system to clean its act up, and holding them accountable for these miscarriages.

This here. We can’t stop these criminals being treated like heroes for attempting to replace our democracy with tyranny. We can stop advertising that they did what they did.

It feels like the same sort of encouragement mass shooters get from the media. “Want to have your name everywhere? Do something atrocious!”

Yeah, I want a wall of shame somewhere so that employers, social media, dating apps, etc…know where to look these people up.
