Capitol breach grandma’s case highlights justice double standard
Cindy Young committed no acts of violence on January 6, yet she faces four years in prison. Montez Terriel Lee Jr. burned down a building and killed a man, and he’ll be out in less than eight years.
Have you ever wondered what our jails and prisons would look like had the Black Lives Matter rioters of 2020 been given the “January 6 treatment”? Well, it’s hard to envision such a parallel universe. We don’t have enough jail cells to house the tens of thousands — if not hundreds of thousands — of individuals who would be languishing in prison for years based on the January 6 standard of justice.
Alas, the judges in the D.C. federal circuit court have no standard of justice nor do they appear to possess a conscience.
