6 years is a long time for a stupid mistake you regret

 

not so for something you still believe was right (and I guess are willing to do it again if allowed)

[Bang]

I'd say it's pretty light given the whole of it.
And especially his belief he was right, and his ignorant claim of attacking someone with a flagpole without any intent to,, umm.  'hurt' them.

**** him.

So I ran into an old neighbor tonight. He does deliveries for an auto parts company here in RVA. Last Friday he went to work - before 7am - and his boss took a company truck to pick up food at a fastfood joint to bring back for the crew. When the dude arrived, he was surrounded by FBI, etc. and arrested. My friend got a call at the store to tell them the FBI had their company truck & they should come by & pick it up. Upon arrival at the truck, he was surrounded by FBI agents with guns drawn. After a few minutes he was released. The manager had been watched for months and was arrested for J6 stuff (patriot front member - not gonna capitalize their ****). I think he was turned in by friends who he showed J6 video. 

 

This dude has also charged with spray painting crap on the Arthur Ashe Center (with videos of hm doing it) during the BLM protests. A POS white nationalist,

 

I told my buddy the Feds had been folllowing him for months & even knew the porn he watched. He laughed & said he noticed blacked out window automobiles following him to work & in the neighborhood. He said it was wild to see it go down

Not for your friend's experience, rather for the arrest of another insurrectionist.

Jan. 6 'chaos agent' John Earle Sullivan sentenced to 6 years in prison

 

A federal judge sentenced the Utah man who filmed the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, 2021, to six years in prison Friday for instigating the mob against police.

 

John Earle Sullivan, 29, was convicted in November of five felonies and two misdemeanor charges for obstructing the joint session of Congress, civil disorder and carrying a knife into the U.S. Capitol.

 

Sullivan, a former Olympic speed skating hopeful who rebranded himself as an activist in 2020 under the online moniker “Jayden X,” gambled at trial that he could convince a jury he e was acting as a citizen journalist who put himself in harm’s way to document a historic moment. Sullivan said he began recording civil unrest in 2020 amid the nationwide protests in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. It was then he incorporated his company, Insurgence USA, in Utah. On Jan. 6, Sullivan was being followed by a photographer, Jade Sacker, who was making a documentary film about the political divisions between Sullivan and his brother, James, who is a right-wing activist. 

 

Sacker’s footage, which was played at trial during her testimony as a defense witness, shows Sullivan wearing a ballistic vest and using a bullhorn to repeatedly call out support for the crowd. At one point he can be heard yelling, “We’re about to burn this s*** down!” At another point, as a group of rioters including several members of the Proud Boys breaks through a police line, Sullivan shouts, “This is our f***ing house!”

Man who bragged that he ‘fed’ an officer to the mob of Capitol rioters gets nearly 5 years in prison

 

A Georgia business owner who bragged that he “fed” a police officer to a mob of rioters storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced on Thursday to nearly five years in prison for his repeated attacks on law enforcement during the insurrection.

 

Jack Wade Whitton struck an officer with a metal crutch and dragged him — head first and face down — into the crowd on the Capitol’s Lower West Terrace. Whitton later boasted in a text message that he “fed him to the people.”

 

Roughly 20 minutes later, Whitton tried to pull a second officer into the crowd, prosecutors say. He also kicked at, threatened and threw a construction pylon at officers trying to hold off the mob of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters.

 

“You’re gonna die tonight!” he shouted at police after striking an officer’s riot shield.

 

Whitton, of Locust Grove, Georgia, expressed remorse for his “horrible” actions on Jan. 6 before U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras sentenced him to four years and nine months in prison. The 33-year-old will get credit for the three years that he has been jailed since his arrest.

 

Prosecutors recommended a prison sentence of eight years and one month for Whitton, who owned and operated his own fence building company before his April 2021 arrest.

 

“Whitton looked for opportunities to attack: In his three documented assaults, he was either a leader or a solitary actor,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing.

One man was a Capitol Police officer. The other rioted on Jan. 6. They’re both running for Congress

 

For Derrick Evans, being part of the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol wasn’t enough. The former West Virginia lawmaker wants to make his path to the halls of Congress permanent.

 

On the other side of the metal barricades that day, Police Officer Harry Dunn couldn’t stand what he saw as he defended the Capitol and its inhabitants from rioters on Jan. 6, 2021. Ultimately, the Maryland resident watched lawmakers he had protected vote to acquit former President Donald Trump and deny the violence and trauma that led to the deaths of some of his fellow officers.

 

On Tuesday, Evans and Dunn will make bids for U.S. House seats in their respective state primaries. They come into the election with dramatically different interpretations about what happened that day, and their performance in Tuesday’s primaries in West Virginia and Maryland could hint at whether voters’ opinions about the attack and its meaning have changed over time.

Conservative scion Brent Bozell IV sentenced to nearly 4 years in Jan. 6 case

 

A man whose family members were key architects of the American conservative movement was sentenced Friday to three years and nine months in federal prison for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, which included smashing windows that allowed the mob to storm into the building during the initial breach.

 

Federal prosecutors sought more than 11 years in prison and a terrorism enhancement for Brent Bozell IV, the son of Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell III and grandson of Joe McCarthy speechwriter Brent Bozell Jr., who was William F. Buckley Jr.'s brother-in-law and ghost-wrote Barry Goldwater's "The Conscience of a Conservative."

 

But Judge John Bates sentenced Bozell IV to 45 months in prison and $4,727 in restitution Friday. Bates found that the clear language of the terrorism enhancement statute would apply in Bozell's case, saying it's "a little difficult for me to escape" that conclusion. But Bates disagreed with the enormous impact it would have on Bozell's sentence range and seemed uncomfortable with labeling a man with a leadership role in the politically-motivated attack on the U.S. Capitol as a domestic terrorist.

 

"I’m not sure that label is an appropriate label for the defendant to have to carry with him,” Bates said, noting that while Bozell busted windows that let the mob breach the building and joined the mob as it overtook multiple police lines, his conduct wasn't "meaningfully violent" and he didn't cause any physical harm to officers. Still, he previously found that Bozell was “leaning toward the officers with his head down” and "forcibly" made contact with officers as the mob charged a police line. He also found that Bozell repeatedly lied on the stand about his conduct.

 

Bates also took the opportunity to indirectly push back on the rhetoric that Republican politicians have been using about Jan. 6 defendants.

 

“Not for a moment should January 6 rioters be considered true patriots,” Bates, a George W. Bush appointee said. “They’re not political prisoners. They’re not hostages.”

During arraignment, Capitol riot defendant defiantly predicts Trump will win election and shutter Jan. 6 criminal cases

 

A high-level U.S. Capitol riot defendant openly and brazenly predicted he'd be cleared of charges by the reelection of former President Donald Trump this fall.  

 

John Banuelos of Illinois, accused of firing a loaded gun in a mob while outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, interrupted his arraignment proceedings Monday with blistering criticism for his court-appointed defense lawyer, denunciations of the District of Columbia and vulgarity in his verbal exchanges with the judge.  

 

When urged by Washington, D.C. federal judge Tanya Chutkan to be careful about what he said open court, Banuelos told the judge, "Trump is going to be in office in six months, so I have nothing to worry about."

 

Judge Chutkan again told Banuelos to be cautious with public statements about his case.

Man Nicknamed ‘Live Wire’ Pleads Guilty, Faces 6-Year Prison Stretch For Capitol Police Assault Plot On Jan 6

 

A Kentucky man, known online as “Live Wire,” and allegedly linked to a far-right militia group, has confessed to scheming to harm police officers during the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

 

Confronted with an overwhelming abundance of evidence, Dan Edwin Wilson, 48, of Louisville, pleaded guilty to conspiring to obstruct or injure a federal officer, as well as federal firearms offenses for possessing an unregistered firearm, the Justice Department announced Monday.

 

Prosecutors revealed Wilson’s premeditated plans dating back to winter 2020, using encrypted apps to organize violence. Referring to himself as a “gray ghost ranger” and hinting at militia ties, he discussed bringing firearms to D.C. for potential government takeovers.

 

Days before the attack, Wilson pledged allegiance to the cause: “I am ready to lay my life on the line. It is time for good men to do bad things.”
