US Capitol rioters face harsh sentences as judges crack down on insurrectionists
2021-12-24
[IsraelTimes] NY ’Proud Boys’ member who pled guilty faces 4 years in prison; Florida man handed 5 years for assaulting police; Iowa man could spend up to 20 years behind bars

More than 700 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the riot. Over 150 of them have pleaded guilty.
Across the United States, individuals linked to the unprecedented January 6 storming of the US Capitol have been facing tough sentences and unyielding prosecutors as the country approaches the first anniversary of the insurrection.

On Wednesday, a New York man pleaded guilty to storming the US Capitol with fellow members of the far-right Proud Boys, a milestone in the Justice Department’s prosecution of forces of Evil who joined the Jan. 6 incident.

All to be pardoned either in 2023 or 2025


That's the problem. People really believe the Dem/Deep State political persecution is only temporary.....

#7  Yet more lies and BS from American Pravda + American Stasi.

The Capitol Hill Jan-sixers broke a window and put their muddy boots on Pelosi's desk. They were unarmed. They didn't injure or kill anyone.

Teefa criminals
- throw Molotov cocktails into police stations & police cars
- barricade federal officials inside buildings and set them on fire
- bash officers' and Secret Service officials heads in, with rocks, frozen bottles of water, bike locks, metal poles, chunks of concrete
- ambush and engage in target killings of ordinary citizens

BLM "activists" have injured hundreds, killed dozens, torched destroyed the small business of thousands.

#6  A great opportunity now exists for a future prexident to order the demolition of the crapitol building "to make sure nothing like that ever happens again." That'd learn 'em...

#5  I'll get flamed, but I'd point out the non-federal employee participants in the Jan 6 hootenanny are basically the other side of the teefa coin. Hapless misfits looking for a moment of belonging. I will give you, none of them seem to have the sexual identity problems the teefas have.

Do they deserve to get chewed up over taking unguided tours of the crapitol building? Absolutely not. Were they ever in any position to topple the federal gummint? Absolutely not.

#4  My guess is htey can slam these guys because half of the group were Feds and so they have lots of evidence against those they duped.

Other 'rioters' were not involved and only entered the building to take photos once the doors were flung open and they were invited in. Those are harder to prosecute as even if they did break a law the public opinion will be devastatingly against the narrative.

#2  The screeching when a future president pardons them all will be exquisite.

#1  And the whole thing (minimal as it was) was a Fed set-up from the start.
