Authorities are searching for a member of the Proud Boys extremist group who disappeared days before his sentencing in a U.S. Capitol riot case, where prosecutors are seeking more than a decade in prison, according to a warrant made public Friday.

    Yes! Anyone in the custody of the state should be treated with a minimum level of human decency, regardless of their crime.

      I agree. I use to have a flawed idea of justice until someone on the internet pointed out to me, we have to make justice appealing. There needs to be hope for understanding and a better way of life otherwise the criminal will probably become a worse human being from the experience or even worse more crimes would end in murder suicides at the thought of going through such a horrible and hopeless future.

        I agree. He’s specifically charged with assaulting LEO at the Capitol. He needs to be where the watchers are being watched. Does such a place exist?

          It exists in the same place it does for everyone else who doesn’t do Trump’s bidding. This little shit got preferential treatment.
