    His public defender is mom to one of the kids he purportedly engaged with during park district’s programming? That’s a strange case assignment for a district newcomer. I’m also wondering how his pleading landed on sentencing standards for jail time and the restitution.

    Thanks for the follow-up report, Mr. Kraft.

    He would have gotten a lighter sentence if he had stormed the Capital, beat some cops, and attempted to overthrow an election… and was white.

        You white men sure get triggered when somebody points out the statistical fact that blacks serve more time in prison than whites do for the same crime.

        So “they” are all lazy and unemployed? Are they all stupid too? They all coming to rape your wife?

        Let me guess, you wanna get back to the “good old days” and have your own drinking fountains and schools.

        Those white traitors on January 6th need sent to Gitmo for 20 years. Democracy is for everyone. Not just who the white man thinks it is for.
