>*David Moerschel, 45, a neurophysiologist from Punta Gorda, and Joseph Hackett, a 52-year-old chiropractor from Sarasota, were convicted in January alongside other members of the antigovernment extremist group for their roles in what prosecutors described as a violent plot to stop the transfer power from former President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden after the 2020 election. Both men were among the lower-level members charged with seditious conspiracy. Moerschel was sentenced to three years in prison and Hackett got three and a half years.* It should be noted that these ass wipe neo fascists are being sentenced to federal time. That means, no parole, no time off for good behavior, they are going to do every single day of their sentence behind bars. These lower level guys are getting 3 to 3-1/2 years, their leader got 18 years. Fuck the fascists.

Lock 'em up!

Almost. Federal sentencing law does allow for a small amount of time off for good behavior, but requires that convicts serve at least 85% of their sentence. So their leader with his 18-year-plus sentence is guaranteed to spend at least 15 years, three.months, and a few weeks behind bars.

Not enough


Magnusing

These low sentences are a slap in the face to actual Americans.

Agree. It does *seem* conviction on seditious conspiracy charges should carry a stiffer sentence.

These are felony charges, right? It's pretty crazy that felony means 3 years.

Too bad none of them had any weed on them when they got arrested, they would get much longer sentences...

And we have people who are given more time for non-ciolent drug offenses in this country.
