This is a fascinating case study into the right-wing machine. When a Democrat holds the presidency, gun nuts frantically buy every type of weapon and ammunition in sight, fueling profits for gun manufacturers. And the manufacturers and the gun nuts donate heavily to the NRA, who then engage in an orgy of spending.

As joyous as that would be, I’ve a suspicion that in a coupla years he’s gonna be working on his third-term campaign.

It is honestly a miracle more people weren’t killed.  You watch the video, and it’s is horrific; I was sure when it happened he’d killed multiple people.

Thinking like a Republican:

Nah, you let him live, and you see to his needs: food, shelter, medical care, etc. You make sure he’s comfortable, and then you let him sit for years and decades to think, to do the thing that humans do when they have that kind of free time and devour their own head, analyzing every moment that led him to his state…

This.

Yeah there's no parole for federal crimes. Good behavior can get you like 15% off. 

Oh please. This motherfucker knew what he was doing. He was trying to kill anyone he could but poor Heather Heyer was the one who was unlucky enough to die.

How about, he lives out a long miserable life behind bars, then just before he dies of natural causes an executioner rushes in and hangs him. Seems fair.

Man these losers are all bravado and tough on crime, until it is their necks on the chopping block. Then they make excuses. Hope he lives out a very long life behind bars but I am not holding out hope. Don’t want to be disappointed.

White supremacists by their world view lack empathy, remorse, and they see those they hate as less then nothing. Yet he wants leniency. He illustrates that those with that ideology are often cowards at heart. Why not just get it over with since he’s never going to see the light of day as a free “man”.

I think they should hang this bastard myself.  And all of his Nazi buddies too.

I agree with your first sentence....fuck that guy.

“...under federal sentencing guidelines he’s expected to spend the rest of his life in prison.”

James Alex Fields Jr. is begging for the judge responsible for his sentencing to show him mercy.

yup... fuck that guy.

he is exactly the sort of person who should spend the rest of his life in prison. He killed someone, and injured others, purely because of racist rage.

he got his mercy when they took the death penalty off the table in exchange for him pleading guilty.

Guys I think I found the leaker.

Somebody needs to find out who first adopted/came up with that haircut and punch them in the face as well. It’s like they told their hairdresser “Give me the Macklemore, but crank that shit up to 11.”

Oh, you all think this kid’s face is punchable in that GIF? You ain’t seen nothing yet.
