    A terribly sad story. Two young and idealistic lawyers, get wrapped up in the BLM protest movement. In a moment of madness they throw a Molotov cocktail into an abandoned police car and burn it. Now they face a minimum 35 years in a federal prison. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/lawyers-arrested-molotov-cocktail-nyc-protest.html …

        Good morning senator, 1,200 people died of COVID-19 yesterday. Maybe there is a better use of your time?

        somehow, stars aligned and we agree here. however, 35 years is pretty excessive if no one was hurt and only property was damaged, and it seems like a super big waste of federal tax dollars.

        While I agree with the Senator's sentiment, it does that bare we have an overly harsh sentencing problem that focuses too much on retribution and not enough in rehabilitation.

        You like that they get 35 years for burning an old police car, nothing but praise for the guy with 160,000 deaths on his hands.

        There you go again. Lumping protesters together with rioters. These men should face conviction for their violence and the peaceful protesters should not be lumped in with the destructive rioters. You will never do the decent thing and differentiate between the two.

        It wasn’t a moment, it was premeditated. They don’t sale molotov cocktails pre made at the local gun store rich. This means they had to plan it out get the materials and take the time. I think you missed your own point. They should also be disbarred.
