NM judge likely to throw the book at failed Earth hating candidate

Update: Peña sentenced to eighty years.

###

Prosecutors are recommending that Trump appointee, Federal Judge Kea W. Riggs for the District of New Mexico sentence Solomon Peña, Wednesday (today) to 90 years in prison. Their argument is that a lengthy prison term might deter other Earth haters tempted to use violence to achieve political ends. Peña was convicted of 13 felonies for orchestrating a string of shootings into the homes of four Democratic elected officials and plotting to kill witnesses after losing in the 2022 election. 

Spurred by Donald Trump, Earth hater Vance Boelter allegedly murdered State Representative Melissa Hortman, a Democratic former Minnesota House Speaker, and her husband, Mark. 

In Pennsylvania, authorities charged Earth hater, Cody Balmer who is suspected of setting fire to the governor’s mansion while Governor Josh Shapiro and his family slept, forcing them to evacuate.

CDC shooter, Patrick Joseph White was a white anti-vax Republican.

It’s impossible to imagine a more committed insurrectionist than the Republican Party’s standard bearer who gleefully incites his disciples to bloodbaths for his political enemies. Just weeks before Herr Trump led his attempted autogolpe Stewart Rhodes was inciting the Oath Keepers to civil war. Rhodes formed the white supremacist militia in 2009 after Barack Obama was elected POTUS but was pardoned instead of serving an 18-year prison sentence for seditious conspiracy for his role in Trump's treachery. 

Since the alleged jihadist attacks on September 11, 2001 homegrown terrorists have killed nearly twice as many people in the United States than foreign-influenced militants have.
Here, too, a significant majority — 73% — said they see politically motivated violence as a major problem. While there was little difference by political party, there was some division by race and age. While majorities of Latinos, Black voters and younger voters saw politically motivated violence as a major problem, they were more than 10 points less likely to say so than whites and older voters. Here, again white women with college degrees (83%) were the most likely to say it's a major problem, followed closely by those 60 and older (81%), as well as white women without degrees (80%).
