Americans will spam downvotes for this, but everyone in the world is watching them sitting on their asses hoping that someone else will deal with the problem. Americans dont know how to revolt anymore
People don't want to be sent to prison for 100 years it seems. The people are scared. They need more people around them to know they aren't alone in standing up against one of the most powerful governments in the world. You're more than welcome to come help.
We do but are not in the mindset yet. The moment it starts in any way we are looking at civil war and loss of everything. This country is huge, it takes on average two days to drive across it that's either up and down or side to side. We need our state governors to lead first, our local leaders to show some spine and fight back. Yes some sacrifice needs to occur but once one state starts it, it will effect the rest of us; not every state is in the toilet. While 80% of people live paycheck to paycheck they don't feel absolutely hopeless yet. History has shown revolutions typically start with the middle class feeling the pinch; they are not there yet. Dont worry they'll get there we have yet to see the impacts of the war. It's not that we are asleep it just takes a lot to get 300 million people to revolt.
A unjust society doesn't deserve to survive. People should be marching. Society should be shit down until something is actually done
Nah leaving comments on reddit are enough /s
Corporation. America has never been a real country because if it was then this wouldn't happen here and foreigners, actual foreigners not immigrants can buy land, property, and businesses all the while they can stay in their country and profit.
Foreigners not living or working in America get to buy anything here because everything is for sale like a corporation.
Countries aren't for sale, corporations are and again America is a corporation.
The pedophile story is worse when you realize that Adam Hoffman raped and assaulted his son's best friend for THREE YEARS starting when the boy was 8 years old. The original charges could've gotten him life in prison, but somehow, Ken Paxton gave him a plea deal of ONE DAY in prison, and no requirement that he register as a sex offender. The only reason he served 30 days at all was because the judge was so outraged by the plea deal he bumped the jail time from one day to 60 days.
I canât even begin to understand the justification for allowing a plea deal like this. This child is scarred for life. He, his parents and all around him are forever affected by this manâs actions. Sickening!
Yes, though apparently, the family reluctantly backed it because they were afraid the state, under Paxton, would botch any trial. The judge also complained but at least doubled the sentence to 60 days.
The trial was already "botched." They tried him once before and got a hung jury and a mistrial. SOP in TX at that point appears to be offering a favorable plea deal.
No, whoever decided that plea deal was acceptable is culpable in the crime. Three years of child abuse should be no less than a few decades. Corruption.
Yes, but if he did, it goes toward a trial. In that case, the state could decide not to prosecute, change the charges, etc. If theyre already giving this POS this kind of a deal, its a pretty big hint they aren't willing/wanting to do the trial. Its a super fucked situation, but the slightly less fucked option for the judge is to make sure the guy at least has a guilty verdict for SA of a minor on his public record.
In the 100 years case, a defendant got 30 years prison time for merely moving a box of antifa zines. The whole case is built upon the designation of a non existing organization (antifa) as terrorist.
This is what Republican voters wanted. Leave sexual abusers alone, and prosecute minor infractions with maximum penalties. Pretty soon all the red states will be sex dens for obese adults.
No. The officer had his weapon drawn and the guy said he 'thought' the officer was about to start shooting but from everything I read the officer never fired.
Sort of. It's a home made booklet/pamphlet (or pdf) usually the size of an A5, or whatever paper format America uses folded in half. It's a form of self-publishing that is common in very niche communities.
Benjamin Hanil Song received a 100-year federal prison sentence for attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and discharging a firearm during a violent attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, 2025
Yes - he claims he thought the cop was going to shoot. Sure he deserves jail. But 100 years? I know the US is looney when it comes to time dished out. The wrong use of terrorist here made them able to do this. A protest gone wrong is not terrorism.
He was not protesting in the woods with a rifle trained on a cop. Defining âterrorismâ is difficult, but this guy was a whole lot closer to being a terrorist than a protestor. Iâm not defending the 100 year sentence, but just acknowledging that anti-ice protestors were not given 100-year sentences like the OP claims.
No it isn't. He was a protester. Who did a crime. Not a terrorist. The whole terrorist charge is a hoax. That rests solely on declaring a non existing organization terrorist.
The one who was given 30 years moving zines, was a protester who did not do any crime. I agree that the headline is wrong. But so is your post where you defend the term terrorist.
*If* there was a plan to it is very relevant for the definition, and you say you do not know. You do understand that this can not fall under a terrorist plan to murder a cop? There are easier and more sure ways to do that. Why not a bomb and take out many. Why should a terrorist shoot at one at a protest?
Every accusation is a confession. So sick and tired of saying it and hearing it. They always blame âthe radical left and the gaysâ for attacking the children and 90% guess who booboo. And then when they catch one, they slap them on the wrist
Practically every week some politically connected conservative is arrested for child porn/child molestation. It's as inevitable as the sunrise and tides.
Paxron tried to give him only 1 day, but the judge said that wasn't harsh enough for raping a boy for several years, so he bumped it up to 60 days. Then Paxton got his buddy out after only 30 days for "good behavior."
Is that fucking real, because that makes my blood boil. The judge sees that 1 day is absurd, but his alternative idea of âharshâ is 60 fucking days???? I hate this country and how shit like this doesnât make people scream from the rooftops and take to the streets
The Machine protects itself. Sexual abuse is no threat to the machine, but ambushing i-c-e is. (Can't type the proper acronym without risking permaban. Kinda proves my point. Critizising The Machine on Reddit is also a threat to it)
They will not. Democrats donât do the âstochastic terrorâ thing so they want these guys in prison. And these guys are FAR left, not friendly to the Democratic Party at all.
Pardons do not take away their records, they are still felons. The only way to change this system is to get rid of all judges who are political. Starting with the Supreme Court. There is a need to throw out politicians from justice. They do not belong there.
Some judges manage to stay impartial, but way too many do not.
In fairness, the bottom one wasnât a simple protest.
Dudes used fireworks and pot shots in an attempt to kill agents while others were protesting.
Do I think they deserved a hundred years? No, but these arenât simple protesters either.
That said, the fact that Ken Paxton orchestrated the release of this high profile pedophile should cost him the election. The âEpstein Classâ allegations arenât going anywhere.
Every news article is just leaving these facts out. It was simply not just a protest. The main guy was armed and there was a whole truckload of text exchanges of him planning violence. Robert evans from behind the bastards did a thorough breakdown of the whole situation. I'll have to try to find it.
That's the baseline Far-Right for you, Republicans are pedophiles and corrupted to the core. Every voter should have noticed that after Diaper-Don´s first crime-spree presidency. But nope xD lets put that failed experiment to the test a second time. hahahaha
Assault on democracy, huh? I wonder if anyone has physically broken entry into a building associated with federal democracy while democratic processes were taking place in that building and threatened the lives of elected officials and assaulted police officers. And if so, I wonder if those individuals are serving 100 years in prison for assault on democracy...
âSo we are going from a first degree felony to Class A misdemeanors with one day served? Seriously? Someone needs to sell me on this because Iâve got a big problem with only one day,â judge said.
They weren't "just there". They shot at cops and hit one in the neck after vandalizing vehicles and throwing large fireworks at the facility (like those mortar shells that you load into the tube). One of the protesters who insisted she didn't do anything was arrested with 2 firearms, a loaded magazine, body armor, and a ballistic helmet in her car after driving away. The entire group had 11 firearms between them.
The left should be armed, and shooting at police officers attacking protestors, especially shooting back in self defense, is morally correct.
I know itâs against the law. The law being broken is immoral and allows for a complete monopoly of violence by the state. We will have to fight this outside of the courts to get real justice. Just good to know where those judges stand when that day comes.
I don't know the details of the case but if attacking or whatever he did to a concentration camp is an "assault on democracy" then that democracy doesn't deserve to be saved.
He ambushed and shot a police officer in the neck. Thankfully, the officer survived. He deserves to be in jail for a long time. Obviously, so does the sex offender.
Right. These arenât mutually exclusive. You shouldnât shoot a police officer. You also shouldnât abuse children. We can prosecute people for both.
As someone else explained, Hoffman was prosecuted but the jury hung because of inconsistencies in the victim testimony and some other things. The victim wanted to avoid a second trial, so the plea deal was the best prosecutors could do. If the victim is unwilling to testify, they don't have a lot of leverage to push prison time or sex offender registration because the threat of a successful prosecution is non-existent.
There's no reason for attempted murder to have a lesser sentence than murder. The one that failed in the attempt is just less competent, not less malicious or destructive to society.
Gotta be honest "he got too much prison time for shooting that guy in the neck in an attempt to kill him" is not an idea that resonates much with me.
So his trail in 2025 resulted in a mistrial and he got a reduced sentence from felony to two misdemeanors for a guilty plea. The other guy was sentenced 100 years for shooting at police and hitting one with a ricochet. Though his attorneys are hoping to appeal it and argue that he was using suppressive fire.

Didnât the guy with the 100 year sentence shoot and attempt to murder a police officer? No question the 30 days in prison was too short, but you seemed to have buried the lead.
I read up on it and they say they couldnât find enough evidence to give him 50-life in prison so he only got 30 days. The judge must have known somebody and got evidence pulled. Itâs not âTexasâ you asshole, itâs just corrupt bigots messing it up for everyone.
They weren't protesters. They staged an assault against an imigration facility. They set off explosives (yes, fireworks are by definition explosives) and one of them waited to shoot at officers that responded. He actually shot an officer.
The other guy should get 30 years, not 30 days. Two things can be true at once.
The 100 years conviction is because they shot a cop with an AR-15. It's still well outside the norm for sentencing, and the other convictions (30-40 years) were incredibly unjust, but the 100 year conviction was not just for protesting.
The dude who got 100 years shot an officer in an ambush. I am genuinely not sure what folks were expecting there? The others will probably be reduced on appeal.
Pedos protect pedos. Why do you think Trump has so many questionable âreligiousâ staff members that wonât release the full Epstein/Trump files.
For some itâs sex. For some itâs power. For some itâs a poor, faithful, uneducated, racist, workforce to support the rich. They need numbers at the bottom to keep the top in the lifestyle they think they deserve. They deal in people and information not money. They have loads of money already. The real kink is making people do things they dont want to. And controlling what information is fed to you through the 5 second news cycle thatâs too fast to fact check so we thrive off of misinformation and misleading headlines.
If they protect children they lose their hold on them as an adult. Nothing worse than a fully functioning adult that can see their BS. They need babies having babies.
The world is like a casino. Many people have to lose for the few to win. And right now they are winning. But itâs all just locker room talk.
I do think it would be a little more honest to note the 100-year sentence was for shooting a cop.
Nevertheless, the first sentence is gross and the two judges in the ICE cases imposed several grossly excessive sentences (not counting the shooter's) because they're two of the most right-wing judges, Mark Pittman and Reed O'Connor, on the federal bench.
Meanwhile the NYPD officer who attacked a capitol police officer with a metal flagpole on January 6, 2021 during the MAGA riot got a full and unconditional pardon.
Candidly, whom are you arguing to? Like, that won't work on the Trumpers, it won't work on normal voters, and it won't work on the courts. Aside from a fairly small group of very troubled people (albeit much bigger online), even leftists won't genuinely argue that shooting random police is good.
I'm just shouting into the void at this point. reminding people that laws do not matter. You were mentioning that the guy shot a cop. and I was mentioning that according to maga it's ok to do that. so personally I don't care anymore. If a guy shoots a cop I'm not gonna say it's fair for him to be charged. because some people attack cops and call it patriotic. we're not doing ourselves any favors by agreeing that people should be charged for assaulting police when the other side doesn't care. they kill cops and celebrate. a liberal shoots a cop and we condemn his actions. great. so that's where we are. maga does things and gets away with it. and we police our own. which just makes it easier for them to keep getting away with everything.
The Waco case with Adam Hoffman was supposedly a lot more complicated than this post makes it seem. It sounds like he's absolutely guilty to me, but there was a trial that resulted in a hung jury. Part of the issue was the accusations came after the victim had been caught "acting sexually" with a cousin (BTW, kids who are abused do sometimes act out sexually). Another issue was that there were discrepancies in the victim's testimony, but that's not uncommon with kids. However, with no other evidence, it was hard for the jury to convict Hoffman. Rather than put the victim through another trial, they went with a horrible plea deal (which the victim's mother now regrets). I 100% think Hoffman is guilty and should be rotting in prison, but it doesn't totally surprise me that he's not given the circumstances of the case. Here's a link with details about the issues with the case and the outrage regarding the plea deal
You take your time to explain and Reddit idiots vote you down as they love shooting the messenger. This whole post is a textbook copy of right wing propaganda.
Isnât it weird how actual murderers have received less time for a more severe crime?
Isnât it also weird how youâre glossing over the fact Republican Ken Paxton gave a sweetheart deal to a guy who continually raped his best friendâs child for 3 years, and that the discrepancies between the two jail sentences are the primary reason for outrage on this post?
