#January6 #CapitolRiot #Jan6
Wow if you’ve noticed it’s mostly the middle age white man who are just throwing their lives away over in Orange messiah very sad times Hi Who lied to them constantly and told them the elections were stolen unbelievable And then being so gullible believed it and it did atrocities oh my goodness
They should ALL be LOCKED UP for at least 15 years!
This shocked the world! Yup!
Y’all stop playing lol that man is going to do 2-3 yrs and be out ready to run it back
Finally some of the REAL charges! Everyone has been avoiding this… people have been acting like NO felonies were committed that day last year, that’s bs and I’m ready to see some people get busted the way they’re supposed to, similar to if they had dark skin. They are trying to drag this out and make us lose sight of what’s supposed to be happening.
I guess we do negotiate with terrorist then.
Throw the book at him and the rest of the traitors.
What about the BLM protestors who destroyed businesses? How long are they facing?
Where are the real journalists?
Ray Epps is on video numerous times on Jan 5 & 6 committing federal crimes and inciting the attack. But he hasn’t been arrested and wasn’t called to testify about why he worked so hard at convincing people to go into the Capitol.
That doesn’t make any “journalist“ interested in following up?
None of this matters if the republicons win the elections. All of these traitors will get a pardon
Where your cheese puff president now who you was supporting….
YES!! Throw the Book at ALL OF THEM!!! Everyone should receive 10 years MINIMUM.
Get the Dump and his Minion Senators.
So after this trial is over we get to see the BLM rioters and Antifa prosecuted, right?…. Right?
NEEDS to get the MAX, for THREATENING his FAMILY!
Funny how none of the BLM rioters aren’t facing the same charges
We used to hang people for treason.
If you entered the capital that day, you should face this exact charge and sentence.
And where is his trump god to save him? Playing golf …🤣🤣🤣
Good. Give him the full 15 years for his treason. Donald Trump can’t save you buddy!
All Trump supporters should be in prison.
You can not get justice in a criminal system especially within the criminal District of Columbia.
Meth production in the land is a greater truly domestic terrorism than all terrorism together
All in attendance of Capital Interaction need 15 years! That was the CAPITOL! Of course, it was an all European attack, so that makes a difference. 😏😔
Only 15 years? Why not reopen Guantanamo Bay for these terrorists? Even Al Qaeda never stormed the Capitol.
Everyone dies soon . Don’t you think you should focus your efforts on meaningful work . Like killing pedophiles. Or castration of pedophiles. Or we could burn pedophiles. There is also some water issues in like 90% if your territory and your water departments don’t even hire real plumbers . Wtf
Let’s not forget cops died protecting the Capitol… all of them should receive harsh sentences!!
Throw that traitor trailer trash away.
In my opinion. One has to wonder why bannon was suspiciously missing from the insurrection. It was even advertised by bannon. You would think all the pundits like tucker, hannity, ingraham, watters, and gutfeld would be chomping at the bit to show their manly patriotism . Probably did NOT have enough clout to get off work to fight for their country. It’s like they suspiciously knew something was going to take place❗️Why did SUSPICIOUSLY NOT ONE SHOW UP❓
I hope he gets the maximum.
What?! Consequences for your actions? No way.
Different rules apply to BLM and ANTIFA rioters.
Excuse me babe
It is America 🇺🇸 my beloved country
Justice matters !!!!!!
‘He’s gonna kiss the baby.- Stir Crazy
If it had been DARKER-HUED people, there would be NO MENTION of OVERWHELMED RESOURCES. Don’t start spinning that effng narative. HIRE MORE PEOPLE.
Oh yeah this guy, his son had to do the right thing and his mom and sister we’re mad at him for turning his dad in. Lock him up.
WHAT ABOUT TRUMP?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are you talking about the civil suits being brought by Washington DC against rioters?
Boss intro them 😂
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱 Just wake me when I can vote for Trump again. 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
Anyone who defends Drump will end up destroyed! Look at all the examples!
THE WORST CRIME HE ACTUALLY COMMITTED WAS UNMENTIONED, HERE.
This Guy told his teenage kids that if they ever told a soul that he (their Dad), was part of 1/6 that that would make them TRAITORS, &, oh yeah, btw, the punishment for treason is EXECUTION..
Dad said this to his kids?
After the threat, the son called the FBI & conveniently, the son has it all on audio…
Makes me believe that this takedown was a LONG TIME COMING!
BTW; Delanian- act like a professional, FCS! You look like a kid that just grabbed a bunch of bikini tops from ladies who are relaxing on the beach, sunbathing.
This is not gleeful- this is a harbinger of DOOM! WTH are they teaching youse guys, @ Langley?
Ignorance is no excuse for violating the law. BYE !!.
He is not a terrorist. This is just insane. The behavior of that committee and the DOJ reminds me of Soviet era Russia.
I have no sympathy 🫂 for this person. Ignorance is not an excuse to break the law ⚖️.
These red herring stories are to divert attention from President Biden ruining the country.
Country going down.
Scrutinize President Biden like scrutinized President Trump.
Leftists unpatriotic, anti-nationals, fifth columnists, support illegals over real tax paying citizens. Making the country another Venuzuela.
Save the country from moral-less leftists.
Go back to good old roots that made the country great. Honor the Contitution.
This is a National DISGRACE….the rioters and the ex-president. Do your job and prosecute these criminals ⚖️🗽🇺🇸.
Burned down NOTHING killed nobody. But burn loot murder and antifa, cricket’s
“Jan. 6 Capitol Rioter Faces 15-Year-Sentence After ‘Domestic Terrorism’ Conviction” so let’s #ConvinceItForward
What you put in is what you get out so good luck with that
He got off way to easy. He should have got no less than 15 years. He threatened the lives of lawmakers and his children. He brought guns to dc. He is a threat to our society.
The DOJ should prosecute the political leaders and Trump and his lawyers to the fullest extent of the law. because they know better and betrayed their oaths. Traitors
What riot?
What a patriot!
Politicians should be terrified of the people
To Bad They Didn’t Have This Committee For All The Vietnam Rioters Back In The Seventies! Oh That’s Right, Rioting Was Allowed Back Then…..
everyone so upset about his long sentence? maybe don’t be a domestic terrorist? 🤷♀️
Good, they should ALL get at least 15 to 20 years Minimum…
7 is a good start, hope he gets every day of it, but should’ve been more. Hope they are saving longer sentences for the others down the line and up the food chain.
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today
Jefferson_walker
@Sara Waisglass Thanks for his info I’ll get to him right away
For real Mr Jefferson Walker trading service are really great, I invested $40,000 and cashed out $85,700 on just 3weeks.
I’m really happy😃 for Seeing this comment thread, I just texted him now hope he replies soon .
How many hundred arrests? What a joke
Ok now do BLM rioters where people actually died
Then do all the police officers and members of the government who were members of the KKK and were responsible for the brutality and murder of countless black people.
Penalties need to be much stronger.
Hater of the Constitution and a full on Bootlickin’ Traitor
Thanks prosecution 15 years should be the minimum.
Pardon
Just 15 Years?
Update: He only got 7 years instead. So disappointing!
GOOD !LET HIM ROT !”🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Turned down a plea deal? Thx lawyer…now I’m dinner for the judge
And it wasn’t accepted by the judge!!! 7 years!
Where is the court hearing from Maxine Waters to threaten Trump supporters
Kenneth Indians get the same charges against the government that stored our land domestic terrorists against the Indian people
Like John McCain said back in 2015, Trump has “fired up the crazies.”
15 years would be generous
he’s probably going to serve 5 years out of 15 for good behavior 😆🐉🍷
15 year for Trump voters… And a swift release for Stephen Colbert… This is not justice, but a mere retribution.
Rot in jail Terrorist!
Lock them all up ” WITH TRUMP”
GOOD LOAD ALL THOSE TREASON TRADER’S UP NOW LOCK THERE KING UP
Left is so corrupt. No news on this case? https://youtu.be/vS-7mU3SRKo trump was right the entire time and you made me believe he was the worst human on the planet
Lock the terrorist scum in a cage forever!!!!
This man deserves every year he gets as he engaged in Donald Trump’s insurrection and sedition against the United States of America on January 6, 2021, through the attack on The Capitol.
I PLEAD THE WRATH OF GOD UPON EVERY OFFICIAL AND INDIVIDUAL WHO’S GOING ALONG WITH THIS FARCE.
IF THE MAN HAD OPEN CARRY, THAT IS HIS RIGHT AND I MEAN THIS FOR ANYONE.
REGARDLESS OF WHICH SIDE OF THE POLITICAL SCALE YOU ARE IN.
THE MAN WAS NOT AND DID NOT GO INTO THE CAPIROL
WHAT THE PH’K IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!
YOU ALL ARE LIKE PH’KN PARA SITES WITH YOUR BRA!NS ROTTED.
J6 WAS ORCHESTRATED AND MANUFACTURED BY THE D!RTY DEMS AND ENABLERS.
WHY THE PH’K IS PELOSI NOT ON TRIAL FOR PULLING THIS HOAX.
SHE REFUSED THE HELP TRUMP OFFERED FOR UP TO 20,000 TROOPS.
SHE GAVE THE DAY OFF TO TOO MANY GUARDS.
WHY? NO WITNESSES OF COURSE!
SHE WANTED NO WITNESSES! THIS WAS TO STOP THE HUNDREDS OF REPUBS FROM OBJECTING TO BIDEN’S ELECT¤RS.
IT WORKED BETTER THAN THEY THOUGHT.
NOTICE THIS TRIAL WAS ALREADY RESOLVEDEARLIER THIS YEAR AND THEY WERE OROVEN LIARS.
SO NOW THE HUNTER BIDEN CASE OPENS UP AGAIN AND PELOSI CREATES AN !LLEGAL COMMITTE WHERE DEFENDANTS CAN’T HAVE LAWYERS?
THIS IS THE TRUEST MEANING OF V!OLAT!NG PEOPLE’S RIGHTS.
WE ARE NOT CH!NA OR VENEZUELA
A FULL BLOWN KANGAROO COURT AND TOU GUYS ARE OKAY WITH THE ANIHALATION OF INNOCENT PEOPLE?
THIS IS THE SAME WOMEN BEHIND EVERY ACCUSATION AGAINST TRUMP!
PELOSI TORE UP PRESIDENT TRUMP’S INAUGUR@L SPEECH AND SHE ALSO SW¤RE SHE’D TAKE HIM DOWN.
YEAR AFTER YEAR SHE COMES UP WITH ANOTHER ATT@CK AND SLANDER AGAINST TRUMP.
EVERY ACTION AGAINST TRUMP CONFIRMS THE ACTIONS OF A SC¤RNED WOMAN.
I BET Y’ALL DIDN’T KNOW THAT THE FIRST M PEACHMENT AGAINST TRUMP WAS ALREADY EXPOSED AS MANUFACTURED LIES.
THEY GOT BUSTED RUNNING ON A MADE UP STORY THAT ONE OF THEIR OWN CREATED. THEY EVEN FABRICATED THE EV!DENCE.
RETRACTIONS WERE MADE THAT YEAR.
THIS J6 HEARING IS AN !LLEG@L HEARING AND BASED ON THE SAME TRIALS THAT THE 2ND MPEACHMENT WAS MADE OF.
TRUMP WAS VINDICATED AND AGAIN RETRACTIONS WAS MADE.
A FORMAL J6 INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETED THE MIDDLE OF LAST YEAR WHICH EXONERATED TRUMP COMPLETELY AND HIS SUPPORTERS.
NONE OF THE MAGA SUPPORTERS HAD WE@PONS.
AND…..ONE OF THE MOST CRUCIAL ASPECTS OF THIS THAT IS BEING SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY EVERYONE.
IS THAT THERE WAS NO INVASION AND NO TRESSPASSING.
THE CAPITOL HAD APPROVED MAGA TO BE THERE THAT DAY. THEY RESERVED OR CONFIRMED MAGA TO BE AT THE CAPITOL ON A POLITICAL PROTEST AS OF TWO WEEKS PRIOR.
THERE WAS NEVER AN !N$URRECT!ON.
MAGA HAD EVERY LEGAL RIGHT TO PEACEFULLY PROTEST A ST¤LEN ELECT!ON AND THAT’S WHAT THEY DID.
I URGE EVERYONE WHO HAS COPIES OF ANT!FA BEING ESCORTED INTO THE CAP!TOL HOURS BEFORE MAGA BY GUARDS TO UPLOAD THEM ON THE CONSERVATIVE CHANNELS AND ANY OTHER PROOF VIDEO YOU MAY HAVE.
THE PEOPLE RUNNING OUR COUNTRY ARE PARA SITES LOOKING TO BLE@D US DRY.
THESE $CUMB@GS LEFT ABOUT 50K AMERICANS BEHIND ENEMY LINES AS COLLATER@L D@M@GE AND P¤W’S.
THEY TOLD Y’ALL THEY DID WHAT THEY COULD AND BLAMED EVERYTHING ON TRUMP.
THAT WAS A LIE, THEY KNEW SINCE MARCH.
PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THIS ADMIN COWARDLY S!R RENDERED IN AFGH@N LEAVING EVERYTHING MIL!TARY TO OUR ENEM!ES.
BET YOU ALSO DON’T KNOW THAT THEY ALSO LEFT STRICT ORDERS NOT TO ALLOW ANY PRIVATE PLANES TO RESCUE OUR PEOPLE BUT HERE’S THE KICKER.
WHILE THEY WASHED THEIR HANDS OFF OF SAVING OUR FORTY THOUSAND AMERICANS.
THEY ABSOLUTELY HAD NO PROBLEMS BRINGING BACK TO AMERICA ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY PLUS THOUSAND UNKNOWNS.
YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT 120+K UNKNOWNS WHO WERE IMMEDIATELY INDUCTED INTO OUR MIL!TARY FOR “C R T” TRAINING.
OUR COUNTRY IS BEING RUN BY A BUNCH OF DEMENTED PER….VERTED ALC¤H¤LIC P$YCH¤TIC GER!ATRIC PARA SITES.
WHO HAVE SOLD US OUT. THE HAVE BEEN THRE@TNING ANYONE WHO DOESN’T GO ALONG WITH THEIR MASTER PLANS OF TOTAL POWER AND CONTROL.
EVERYTHING THIS ADMIN HAS DONE HAS BEEN A CONTINEOUS ANT! AMERICA AND AMERICAN AGEND@.
IF IT’S GOOD FOR US THEY AIN’T HAVING IT.
TRUMP TALK ISH ON TWITTER YES WITH PEOPLE THAT DISRESPECTED HIM.
HIS OFFENSES WEREN’T PERSONAL TO US. THEY WERE TOWARDS BAD PEOPLE. JUST LIKE WHEN YOU GET INTO A TWITTER/FACEBOOK OR YTUBE BEEF WITH SOMEONE COMING FOR YOU.
BUT TRUMP TOOK CARE OF AMERICA AND THE PEOPLE IN IT AND HE MADE SURE HE TRIPLED THE MONEY COMING INTO AMERICA AND ALSO TRIED TO SECURE THE BORDERS FOR OUR OWN SAFETY.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH LOVING AND PROTECTING YOUR COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE IN IT!
LOOK AROUND YOU NOW!
WHY WOULD YOU ALL BLINDLY FOLLOW AN ADMINISTRATION WHO CLEARLY DON’T GIVE TWO PH’KS ABOUT YOU AND I?
TRUMP MADE US ENERGY EFFICIENT THAT’S WHY GAS WAS $1.49 TO A $1.79.
TRUMP REBUILT THE MILITARY WITH NEW EQUIPMENT AND TOOK CARE OF OUR VETS.
SOMETHING AS AMERICANS WE SHOULD ALL BE PROUD OF.
WHY WOULD YOU ALL SIDE WITH AN ADMINISTRATION THAT WOULD RATHER SEE US DE@D? THEY HAVE IMPLEMENTED PRED@TORY LAWS AND RIGHTS THAT PUT OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN CONSTANT DANGER.
THEY ARE PARA SITES AMD DEM¤NS THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED ASAP.
WAKE THE PH’K UP AMERICA!!!
If Trump gets back in office he will pardon all these stupid ignorant insurrectionest.
If a republican president gets into office he will pardon Trump.
Vote blue like your life depends on it. For Trump will be the end of democracy . That’s his plan.
defund the pigs
They failed to upgrade to terrorism because he was not one, but never forget your own government will 100% try to pin you with the absolute worst even if your not and you know why? Think about it because it’s super simple.
Hillary actually obstructed an election, no charge. Pelosi actually insider trades with her husband, no charge. And you might feel the Capitol Rioter was a “Domestic Terrorist”, no charge. So what do you know anyways? Nothing just about.
This is crazy!
This guy is directly inciting people to go in, to breach the capital and making it sound like the President was supporting this, Breach and insurrection, when in reality, it was the FBI and their AGENT, INCITING THE CROWDS!!!
https://youtu.be/ylYF6-sZkgM
Wait till it’s our turn to arrest people and pardon.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 lock them up
All these idiots should have received at least 10yrs minimum.
I seen what these terrorists did to that seven eleven store.
Deport him
https://youtu.be/SCu2gxVZ4E8
just going to leave this here.
Make sure they are charged with felonies so they can never vote again.
You BURN LOOT MURDERERES DID WORSE. 🖕🖕🖕🖕u
ARREST WARRANTS SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE JUDGE AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS. HOW DARE THESE PEOPLE TAKE OUR RIGHTS GUN RIGHTS AND INDEED WE CANNOT HAVE THEM IN A PROTEST AT OUR CAPITAL. DID THIS MAN FIRE EVEN ONE SHOT. I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO BE FIRING SHOTS AT THE JUDGES AND LAWYERS ON A FIRING LINE OR WHATEVER IS OUR NEW HUMANITARIAN EQUIVALENT.. YES INDEED A TRIAL TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE THIS ACTION AND THIS IS A PETITION.
Criminal elites! They brain washed us all! Babylon parasites! No separation! United we stand! Protect our constitutional rights. I personally am dieing I was posioned by toxic junk I am a Jew. Moreover, Nazis took over 192 countries nato is a farse. Trijon horse. Science and Religiouns is false. Seek insight into instinct and intuition. Peace
This domestic terrorist deserves 20 years not 15
Finally! 15 years is good tho I would put 20 years
