    I’d say they’re more insurrectionists than terrorists, and no I do not.
    Speculating why they are doing something is not endorsing it.

      Not acting out of fear is essentially allowing them to negotiate the outcome of his trial.

          You’re suggesting he’s getting treated with kid gloves because of his army of terrorists.

          I’m saying that’s not how things work.

            Ah I see, well he’s clearly being treated differently than a normal defendant and I speculated on why, but after reading this comment I agree with @PM_Your_Nudes_Please that it’s probably more about denying him a case for appeal even if it means treating his behaviors with more leniency than a normal defendant. Getting it right is important because of the damage he can cause, (due to said army and the scary possibility of reelection,) if he gets off with a technicality. I’m referring to his legal woes in general and not just this trial, he’s been trying stochastic terrorism in many of them.

              Holy shit I was about to copy/paste that exact same comment in response if you question further. I totally agree!
