You want to throw someone in jail without a trial or having their day in court? I mean that's exactly what Trump has said he would do to everyone trying to prosecute him, but in a fair society you make a case and take it before a judge. And a case this big requires collecting a ton of evidence and making sure you have an air-tight case to convict. How many court cases does he have against him already? Yeah things are moving a lot slower than most people would like, but pretty much any big case like this would also be moving at a snail's pace. Everybody knows he's guilty, however if you don't get everything just right then he gets away on a technicality.

They killed Fred Hampton by shooting him in the head point blank when he was defenseless and wounded. The US is capable of unspeakable barbarity and arresting someone with a show trial is nothing.

Lmao hell yes I do, this happens for literally every serious criminal case (and a bunch of not-so-serious ones, too). If you actually took the idea that Trump is a fascist seriously, you'd be asking why shouldn't he simply have been shot.

If everybody knows a fascist is a fascist and your only solution is to follow the rules real hard and hope, you are a danger to the country and should be nowhere near the levers of power.
