17 years for OrangeLeader, who likely doesn't even know who Joe Biggs is. He'll be 55 years old when released (assuming full term).
Did Joe Biggs ever regret listening to Trump's lies? Has he said anything?
He's an asshole. And he is sorry; sorry that he got caught. He's sick of it now, but wasn't then. He makes no statement about the victims of his violence. He makes no statements about the millions of nameless victims whose votes he wanted overturned.
Even if he had said he regretted acting on Trump's lies, it wouldn't mean a thing. He is just upset he got caught and punished. He's an asshole.
“I’m sick and tired of left versus right”
He hasn’t learned a thing. This is not a “left versus right” thing.
He’s in effect saying: “In the fight between democracy and justice versus fascism and tyranny, I simply want to say both sides are bad and go to my daughter’s PTA meetings to force my backwards views on children.”
Here’s hoping he can be reformed but if not, rot in prison dickhead.
It's how entitled people deal with consequences when consequences finally hit them.
He’d turn that PTA into a racist shithole given the chance.
Fun fact: some of these dinks are going back on their regret statements, claiming they were a strategy to avoid heavy fines or jail or some such. What they don't know is that this claim then opens them to re-prosecution for the same offenses they may have been acquitted of 😏
"...the last event with the Proud Boys" Joe B.
This statement seems odd to me. Like he was doing something bad and so far hasn't got caught. Anyone know what he ment by that?
I hope once or if, Trump is in jail Trump loses his influence over his cult. Trump has used and discarded so many people. In Trump's world only Trump matters.
Right? It's like the career criminal doing one more robbery. They tell themselves it'll be the last time they do it because they know it's wrong. Except it's not the last time. They'll do another later on and call that one the last time. And again and again.
Idk what he meant by it, but he ended up being right.. he’s certainly not doing anything with them from prison :)
