I won’t glorify this loon’s name. You may read it, at the AP’s link. He espouses much of the so-called “sovereign citizen” BS.
What matters here is that he assaulted police officers, led the charge to push through the barricades, and barked commands to the crowd — via his megaphone.
He also said over his megaphone that since Mike Pence was moving to certify the election results, “we are left with the nuclear option only!”
He then shouted “Let’s Go!” and charged the Capitol officers.
Yep. He’s been right where he belongs for the last two years (jailed awaiting disposition), and my understanding is that he will not get credit for the time served while awaiting sentencing — as he’s expressed the opposite of remorse, and continued to harangue USDC Judge Lambreth loudly — peppering him with questions — as he was being sentenced.
No convict gets any right to cross-examine their sentencing judge, once convicted. And this judge was having none of it. [Just ask Stewart Rhodes, disbarred lawyer at right.]
The USDC Judge told the megaphone guy “I’m not here today to answer any of your questions. You are being sentenced.”
All in, that looks like closer to nine years — but still about half as much time as the Oath Keeper preposterous looking-baddie is serving — at 18-plus years.
But let’s be clear — these are the same guys Hinderaker praised as “tourists” — and defended — saying they were within their rights to assault the police (once officer died in the melee, as did Ashli Babbitt).
[Paul had an only slightly more… rational view of it all.] Damn, John.
Onward.
