federal prosecutors argued he should be sentenced to 24.5 years (or 294 months) in prison, three years of supervised release, $2,000 restitution and a fine of $71,541.
This seems wholly reasonable to me.
Peter Schwartz, whom prosecutors termed "one of the most violent and aggressive participants" in the Jan. 6 riot, was sentenced to 14 years behind bars and 36 months of probation
I assume three years of supervised release was meant, not strictly probation.
Soft judges are a big part of the problem.
Actions have real consequences, or at least should.
I'm not a fan of capital punishment, but do believe it has a rightful place in crime and punishment.
Being drawn and quartered, or public hanging, no so much.
Maybe still not justified in this case, but I to agree this is not anywhere near the appropriate sentencing.
This guy should have not only an opportunity to, but a likelihood of dying in prison.
'Aww... This guy's not that bad.'
Yeah, he is.
