Trump supporters convicted of sedition

[Rate This]

In TCT's worldview, being "white" has nothing to do with actual skin color.

That’s the proud boys leader?

Do you think he's white, or do you have eyes?

Given his name I think he’s Hispanic… but if I remember correctly he’s part white or something… a group of white supremacists with a completely non-white leader would be the coups of the century…

Edit:
He’s Afro-Cuban… definitely some white in there.

He's not what most sane people would identify as white.

No. However… apparently there is a strong Hispanic element to the proud boys… so the truth about that group is… complicated.

Ol' patchy is going away. I can't say supporting Trump is good for your freedom.

Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right Oath Keepers militia, was sentenced on Thursday to 18 years in prison for his conviction on seditious conspiracy charges for the role he played in helping to mobilize the pro-Trump attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The sentence, handed down in Federal District Court in Washington, was the most severe penalty so far in the more than 1,000 criminal cases stemming from the Capitol attack — and the first to be increased for fitting the legal definition of terrorism.

It was also the first to have been given to any of the 10 members of the Oath Keepers and another far-right group, the Proud Boys, who were convicted of sedition in connection with the events of Jan. 6.

For Mr. Rhodes, 58, the sentence was the end of a tumultuous and unusual career that included Army service, a stint on Capitol Hill and a law degree from Yale. His role as the Oath Keepers’ founder and leader thrust him into the spotlight and will now send him to prison for what is likely to be the better part of his remaining days.

Here's another peaceful protester heading to prison...

A butcher from Maine who assaulted five police officers during the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced on Thursday to more than seven years in prison.

The butcher, Kyle Fitzsimons, arrived at the Capitol that day in a distinctive outfit: a traditional white coat, a black apron and rubber boots. Mr. Fitzsimons, a recreational trapper, was also carrying a six-foot-long unstrung archery bow and a fur pelt draped across his neck.

But Trump is innocent of all 1,037 charges.

22 years for peaceful protesting on behalf of Donald Trump. But Trump is not guilty.

Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, was sentenced on Tuesday to 22 years in prison for the central role he played in organizing a gang of his pro-Trump followers to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power.

Mr. Tarrio’s sentence, stemming from his conviction this spring on charges of seditious conspiracy, was the most severe penalty handed down so far to any of the more than 1,100 people charged in connection with the Capitol attack — and was likely to remain that way, given that no other defendants currently face accusations as serious as the ones he did.

There goes another one

A man who joined a nightly performance of the national anthem inside the D.C. jail that has been promoted by former president Donald Trump and his allies was sentenced to seven years in prison for assaulting police and obstructing Congress on Jan. 6.

Shane Jenkins, 46, acknowledged in D.C. federal court that he had an “extensive” criminal history and apologized “for all the pain and suffering I’ve caused.” But, he added: “I love this country. I’m not some crazed maniac.”

Using a tomahawk he brought with him from Texas, Jenkins was the first to smash a window on the West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol, and was caught on video shouting: “We paid for it, it’s our f---ing building.” That breach gave rioters access to senators’ offices, which were trashed and ransacked.

Another stand up patriot defending 'Merica on Jan 6.... There seems to be a theme running amongst Trump supporters here.

Two months after admitting he assaulted a police officer and a journalist during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Shane Woods was speeding down I-55 in his pickup at 101 mph when he was stopped by a police officer outside Springfield, Ill., according to court records. The officer said he could smell alcohol on the driver’s breath, but Woods denied drinking. Woods said he was “done” and was “going to end it” because he was facing years in prison and likely tax evasion charges.

According to police records, Woods then took off, going up an exit ramp and onto the highway in the wrong direction and straight into oncoming traffic. The resulting crash killed a 35-year-old woman who was on her way to visit friends in St. Louis. When Woods’s blood was drawn at the hospital, it had an alcohol content of .177 — more than twice the legal limit.

Now facing murder charges in Illinois related to the Nov. 8, 2022, crash, Woods was sentenced Wednesday to 54 months in prison for his crimes on Jan. 6, 2021. That sentence will begin after any punishment he receives in Illinois.

Woods, 45, came to D.C. that day armed with a knife, after telling a friend, “it’s going to be biblical,” according to prosecutors. First, he attacked a Capitol Police officer who was part of a small group trying to hold back rioters on the grounds around 2 p.m., as the building was being breached. She had just been hit with bear spray when Woods rammed her into a metal barricade; she later said it felt like she was “hit by a truck.”
