"A Kentucky man who stormed the U.S. Capitol while carrying a Confederate battle flag was sentenced on Monday to more than two years in prison for pepper spraying two police officers in the face, partially blinding them for hours during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot."

Sounds like a light sentence

What say you?

"Chief Judge James Boasberg cited Easterday's youth as a reason for handing down a prison term — two years and six months — that was over five times lower than the Justice Department's initial sentencing recommendation.

The judge said Easterday, who was homeschooled by his mother while living on a family farm, “may not have fully appreciated what was going on there” at the Capitol on Jan. 6 or recognized that the Confederate flag is a “symbol of rebellion.”"

got 5 times lighter sentence cause of his age and cause he was homeschooled.....

 

Got what he deserved.

 

he is very lucky he only got 2.5 years

 

Truth!

 

Personally I think its about right.

Trump will just pardon this criminal anyways if he wins. Since most conservatives see all the Jan 6th rioters as heros.

 

not enough time

 

He is lucky they are soft on crime.

He is even more soft on crime

 

Which is why he himself is running for office

 

I'm curious what the sentence was for the guy that permanently blinded the federal agent in the Portland riots. If this guy got 2 years for a few hour blindness (not saying that 2 year isn't justified) but what is a lifetime of blindness worth?

 

NOBODY was "Permanently Blinded"...
Give everybody a Freakin' break!
Where do people even come up with this BULLSHIT???

"And tragically, three federal officers were likely left permanently blinded by the rioters using lasers pointed directly at their eyes," McEnany said at a press briefing on July 24.
It was then repeated by Attorney General William Barr in a House Judiciary Committee.
"[Protesters] threw things, used explosives and injured police, and just this weekend, possibly permanently blinded people with lasers. We are on the defense. We are not out looking for trouble," said Barr.

The acting deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Ken Cuccinelli, later said in a U.S. Senate subcommittee on Aug. 4 that the blindness was temporary.
"We've had a number of officers who had days-long blindness. So far, they've all kind of come back, if you will," said Cuccinelli.

Right..... now is the time to go back and arrest the entire cast of the Dukes of Hazard. Apparently they did not recognize that the Confederate flag is a symbol of rebellion. Fock that thing called the Constitution, we have "our Democracy" to protect after all.

 

That's great. Now we can directly compare. What were the sentences given?

 

when did they mace cops in the face like this guy?

 

Did you miss that episode?

 

Too bad the innocent citizens in Biden's torture gulags don't get this much press.

 

the right is the one that supports torture

 

Lock him up.

Sounds about right to me. How much time would he get for pepper spraying a non-cop?

 

Dude brought a Confederate flag to the riot, he was already fighting a losing battle.

 

I heard it was a peaceful tour of the Capitol and that the police let them in….

 

I knew someone would come up with whataboutism with this news.

You need to find a detour, because the fact that many MAGA are willing to engage in political violence is disturbing.

 

Who will you vote for next November?

Because Trump has repeatedly said that the MAGA who wounded the police were hostages and he wants to pardon them.

Agree whit that ?

 

Yet you can't answer a simple question.

 

Obiviously, you can't either.

Your answer can be find by using Google.

Maybe you need help to use the Internet... ?

 

Yes it was.............seems about right to me, with the criminal record and parole afterwards. I see more serious criminals getting off with less.
