"Hellonen, Coomer and Abate pleaded guilty earlier this year to parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of six months behind bars. Hundreds of Capitol rioters have pleaded guilty to the same charge, which is akin to trespassing." They got off way too easy for violating their oath.
"None of them is accused of engaging in any violence or destruction on Jan. 6. But prosecutors said none of them has expressed sincere remorse for their crimes."
"Coomer bragged on social media about taking part in 'history,' called for a 'fresh start' and said he was 'waiting for the boogaloo,' a slang term for a second civil war in the U.S."
The court martial he’s going to have is entirely separate from civilian legal proceedings. And I expect the presiding officers are going to absolutely throw the book at him, if for no other reason than to set a graphic example.
And if they don’t, we’ll know a bit more about the dangerous personal politics of some officers in the Marines.
Yeah, this is what gives me the cold sweats. Enlisted guys being conservative and following the Republican line to the extreme? Not a damn surprise there, been that way as long as I remember. Officers, especially upper ranks, being that way enlisted guys are? That's scary.
I just hope there’s enough people in our military leadership who will channel the spirit of General Smedley Butler, who blew open and helped to kill the business plot back in the 1930s.
I'm so hype to see what military courts have to say about openly advocating for a second civil war.
Article 94 of the UCMJ is pretty clear. He's looking execution if they decide we were at war at the time, and life in Leavenworth otherwise.
I am too. And I hope it amounts to “don’t fucking do that”.

They haven't been in front of a court martial, yet. The military waits for civilian court to do their thing, before throwing people in Leavenworth.
That is what most of them did, isn't it?
