(13,424 posts)He will be killed if he is allowed to exist alongside Gen Pop in prison. He will become a martyr for the Nazis if he receives the death penalty.
llmart
(15,539 posts)I don't believe there are too many out there who look to him as a martyr. Probably some of these people do, but overall he was labeled a domestic terrorist.

(13,424 posts)Spending the rest of his life in prison prevents that from happening.

The candidate in question is Major Richard Ojeda, who won the election. He saw combat in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Major Richard Ojeda and his assailant, Jonathan Porter.

(21,635 posts)What a used-car salesman, that guy. Looks like one of the 'velvet mafia' too.
While it's an R-23 accoring to the Cook Report, I'd say Ojeda has a sporting chance.
This was a Democratic seat until the 2014 Ebola/Salvadoran children hysteria, and considering how many residents in the district stand to lose big if the GOP solidifies its majorities, there could be a lot of backlash voting there. We'll see.
phleshdef
(11,936 posts)If anyone can take it back, its Richard Ojeda. He is like a rock star down there right now.
sandensea
(21,635 posts)And in this country, access to health insurance and care is probably the biggest single economic concern right now as you know.
I've known people who've lost their homes over a relatively minor health issue - and they were insured. This is the kind of thing that should make everyone's blood boil - but doesn't because Jesus, the faw'ners, etc.
I hope the good folks of West Virginia will show the way.

These Nazis were there to protest the Charlottesville city council's 3-2 decision to remove the Robert E. Lee statue from that park. Trump actually mouthed their argument that we must honor these historical figures.

Of course the truth is exactly the opposite: white male who plowed into the anti-protesters.

(5,269 posts)She was an innocent victim and there is video/ picture of her getting out of her car after it had been crashed into by the terrorist and you can see both her car and the terrorists car, before he sped off in reverse.

(6,931 posts)What did Trump say..."Don't worry,we'll post your bail if you rough up some people"....or some such SHIT.
raven mad
(4,940 posts)He'll learn a few things in prison. Before he's executed - Virginia has the death penalty, and they use it. Not an advocate of execution; I think life imprisonment is much harsher, particularly in a penitentiary.
Virginia did not execute anyone in 2007, but it has carried out the death penalty 10 times since then. Death-row inmates may choose between lethal injection and electrocution, which two people have opted for in recent years.
The state executed six black men, three white men, and one white woman. One was John Allen Muhammad, the "D.C. sniper" who was found responsible for the shooting deaths of 10 victims within the Washington Beltway over a three-week period in 2002.
