    Finally a sentence that makes some sense.

    But, honestly, based on what DePape told police–that he was on “a suicide mission” and wanted to take Nancy Pelosi hostage, question her, and break her kneecaps if she lied–unless psychiatrists clear him in 30 yrs… he should remain in prison. There is no way society is safe with someone like that free.

      I mean, just looking at him he’s in his 40s? Doesn’t federal time have very little time reduction for good behavior, so he’ll be close to 70? He may just die behind bars lol.

          He also faces state charges in California, there’s very little chance he’ll get pardoned there.

      He’ll probably be out on parole in 15 years or less.

        You do 85% of fed time before you can be paroled, at best

        Federal sentences require at least 4/5 of the sentence to be served. So for 30 years, he’d be eligible in ~24 years. Unless the grand Cheeto gets elected again, and pardons him.

            I have to admit, my gut response was to disagree with you… but the class war is brewing and I have little faith that the parasites are going to willingly change for the better before it’s too late.

              “Best” case scenario, Pelosi is gone and someone takes her place. Killing politicians does little other than destabilize politics with the subsequent chest pounding and paranoia. Donors decide on policies, not politicians. By and large, there’s no point in killing politicians.

      Because he committed a crime in the country you pay taxes in?

      Not sure what you’re implying here. The US should only put US citizens in prison? The rest get a firing squad?

          Good idea, let’s put violent criminals with the knowledge and skill of how to get into and/or stay in our country illegally back in the place they did it from before. No chance they would ever do that again, right?

              No. I took your comment to mean “just deport them after they tried to murder somebody so we don’t have to pay the bill to keep them in prison for their crime”. If you really meant to load them into a cannon and kill them by firing their remains over the border, I don’t know how to respond to that.
