I'd rather treat them as real threats. It's how we prosecute any number of crimes less serious than this.

They should indeed be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Realistically, that may not quite stretch to the charge of treason (or something similar) that some are calling for, but it should involve some serious jail time. Perhaps some Trump supporters will begin to realise that they cannot act with impunity...

They'll make even more friends if they are not shy about picking up the soap bar.

Can we have them go to schools to warn kids about the dangers of joining a gang of idiots?

Turkish televangelist sentenced to 1,075 years for sex crimes

Adnan Oktar was detained in 2018 along with more than 200 other suspects in his group

A Turkish court has sentenced a Muslim televangelist who surrounded himself with scantily clad women he called “kittens” to more than 1,000 years in jail for sex crimes.

Adnan Oktar preached creationism and conservative values while women in revealing outfits – many of whom appeared to have had plastic surgery – danced around him to upbeat music in the TV studio.

The bearded 64-year-old was detained in 2018 along with more than 200 other suspects as part of a crackdown on his group by the financial crimes unit of the Istanbul police.

He was sentenced to 1,075 years for crimes including sexual assault, sexual abuse of minors, fraud and attempted political and military espionage, the private NTV broadcaster reported.

The court also sentenced two executives in Oktar’s organisation, Tarkan Yavas and Oktar Babuna, to 211 and 186 years, respectively.

The official Anadolu news agency reported that Oktar was additionally found guilty of aiding a group led by US-based Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen that Turkey blames for staging a failed coup attempt in 2016.

He has denied links to Gulen and has called suggestions that he led a sex cult an “urban myth”.

Silly apes, not social distancing...

From fucked-up humans, no doubt...

Social distancing is unnatural, we are social animals, and we rely on herd immunity.

It was always survival of the strongest. Just have a love in and see who survives.
