Time to throw him in a river.

Or just throw an attractive woman named River at him.

This tbh. I don't like the guy due to his two face stance on gun rights, but the guy can't even take a leak with out people getting offended by it.

Did he wear a tan suit or put dijon mustard on a hamburger? It's adorable how criticising Trump has to be framed as mental illness by his supporters.

I wouldn't be surprised if you actually called out his goofy behavior if he wore an orange suit around the white house, but I digress.

Nice strawman. Can I put a hat on him?

Reminds me of the show-trials of communist Russia. What a day for "liberty," when a man is nearly sentenced to death for speeding forward after being attacked by "anti-fascist" thugs. This had nothing to do with Nazism and everything to do with sending a political message.

Radical ideology does not necessitate violence, nor is it inherently violent. Any other perspective is obscenely prejudice.

it was a hypothesis, I don't see it as a strawman unless if you're really taking it for granted

Merriam Webster Inc. would disagree.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he gets killed in prison.

Life sentences as a criminal penalty is not unlibertarian, especially when we are dealing with a terrorist/criminal like this.

Yeah, but they should be reserved for extreme cases. While this incident of domestic terrorism was significant, I wouldn't necessarily consider it to be enough to warrant a life sentence (on the order of decades with possibility of parole seems more appropriate). Life sentences, particularly without parole, should mainly be if someone has no way to recover. OTOH, a lot of terrorists can be deradicalized if given appropriate care.

I do want to make it abundantly clear that what he did was absolutely abhorrent and does deserve a significant sentence, and I'm in no way trying to defend him.

I agree with this, but i'm comfortable with a life sentence being handed out in this case provided there is the possibility of parole given the nature of the crime. I think releasing him before he can satisfy a parole board poses a risk to the public given the motivation of the crimes, especially if he is not deradicalized and receives a heros welcome back to society from Nazi groups which could influence others to emulate his acts. I think the indiscriminate nature of the attack and intent to kill, alongside the motive, warrants life imprisonment with parole.

It's true there are more vicious and violent people who would not receive that sentence, but there are other factors in play.

Excellent though I'd prefer a death sentence.

Anyone who saw the video saw fields run down a group of protesters before anyone attacked him. I'm not even surprised any more though that someone is defending a fascistic killer who took an innocent life, because this is 2019 America and no ideology is too disgusting to have

Wrong. He's braking down 4th Street and it's only after the protester smashes the back of his car that he then accelerates. One can only imagine the trauma of having a gun pointed at you, and being confused all around, that manifested in this tragic car accident.

Also these are just the federal hate crime charges that he plead out.

He's still got the state charges that he was found guilty for that haven't been sentenced yet. That happens in two weeks. It would be extremely odd if he didn't get the full Life + 419 years that the jury suggested.
