    The wheels of justice grind very slowly. The bigger the case, the longer it takes to build.

    But yes, I’m getting impatient. There should be consequences for trying to overthrow the government.

      Yes, fair. I want an air tight case, and that takes time. It’s frustrating. But a flimsy case would be worse. Putting him directly into jail would be worse and set a terrible precedent. People seem eager to fall head first into his narrative.

      Not rich people wait in jail while the case is built. They pay outrageously high bonds if they don’t wait in jail. This guy has done neither, and is accused of High Treason

      “Justice delayed is justice denied”, especially if it’s delayed long enough for the defendant to dismantle the justice system itself.

      He should have been arrested on the spot and thrown into gitmo while the courts decide what to do with the body.
