If he’s caught (which I think will be soon) this is a great way to guarantee the maximum sentence. If he’s not caught, he gets to spend the rest of his life hiding and afraid. Either way, the public wins… but I’d rather see him in prison.

He can probably escape to Russia which is exactly what he wanted here in the US.

Good riddance. And good luck trying to pull that insurrection shit in Russia.

Wasn't he a 'Proud Boy?' I feel like Russia would be against his 'ideals.'

Although the American 'Far Right' has been doing some fairly odd things the last decade or two.

I'm guessing it all goes 'full circle' at some point. Tyranny and Oppression and all such.
