January 6: First Capitol Rioter Sentenced to Prison Time


IMAGE COPYRIGHTUS ATTORNEY’S OFFICE FOR WASHINGTON

A Florida man has become the first to be sentenced to prison for his part in the US Capitol riots on 6 January.

Paul Allard Hodgkins pleaded guilty in June to one felony count of entering the Capitol to obstruct Congress. He was jailed for eight months.

Prosecutors had asked for a term of 18 months, saying Hodgkins "contributed to the collective threat to democracy". The sentence is expected to set a benchmark for hundreds of upcoming cases from the Capitol riots.

Hodgkins, 38, told a Washington DC court that taking part in the invasion of the Capitol had been a "foolish decision". He said he regretted "the damage that day's incident caused and the way this country that I love has been hurt".

The crane operator from Tampa, was among an estimated 800 people who breached the Capitol on 6 January. The FBI has so far arrested more than 535 people for criminal activity on the day of the siege.

Video footage shows Hodgkins inside the Senate chamber, wearing a Trump 2020 t-shirt, with a pair of goggles around his neck and a Trump flag slung over his shoulder. Court documents include a selfie taken by Hodgkins inside the Senate. One of the most prominent participants in the riots, the so-called QAnon Shaman, can be seen in the background.

Prosecutors noted that Hodgkins did not personally engage in violence or destroy property.

Dude can start a second career as a Dave Grohl impersonator when he gets out of jail:

It's almost like he was part of taking over a section of a city for over a week.... or rioting and burning/looting businesses.... or throwing bricks at cops. It's a damn good thing this violent criminal is going to prison.

Yes, you are correct. The way that this violent criminal and hundreds of others attacked law enforcement, broke down barricades, damaged federal property and "contributed to the collective threat to democracy"....it is a good thing he is going to prison.

Seems like a saying posted here before ..."play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

[silver & black]

Yes, this all sounds so familiar to what I posted. Why are those violent criminals not in prison? Oh.... wait.................................

I don't understand why the Capitol peaceful protesters would be so unfairly targeted by the authorities. They're just an idea. Funny to see your imaginary friends pose such a threat to you. Maybe you need a safe space.

Look at all those violent criminals and hundreds of others attacking law enforcement, breaking down barricades, because the 101 oracle of knowledge said so.

The double standards pertaining to liberals and conservatives is unbelievable. Over 300 antifa and BLM , wannabes rioters, arsonists and violent criminals arrested in Portland with no charges ever pressed. And that was 6-7 months ago. Many more Im sure.

Liberals are fine with cities being burned and people's businesses and property being destroyed as long as the perpetrators are liberals. Hevk, good luck finding a liberal who gives a shit about David Dorn's death. The people yelling Black Lives Matter the loudest seem to stop caring about black lives when they are taken by black criminals

I hope this is from his heart and I wish others can come to realize the truth in what he's said.

Question: If Biden is doing such a good job, why isn't the Biden loving media covering how great a job Biden is doing? LOL

The thread is about the supposed illegitimate US government. The article I posted was about somebody convicted for their part in trying to overthrow the Legitimate US Election, which has been confirmed and yes, I posted the part of the article where it was noted that this misguided traitor didn't destroy property.

Just posting facts and staying on topic, rather than deflecting to another topic to make a point.

I'm just waiting for somebody to post that they were on a peaceful tour. That is so rich.

what about.. what about.. take some god damn accountability, he broke the law and should pay for it. so should rioters and looters. The #1 thing I can't stand about Trump supporters is they refuse to call bullshit on their own people. You guys are seriously just as bad as patriots fans lol

I'm sure you must know how fucking hypocritical that sounds, considering what liberals have gotten away with.

Its like when my kids were around 5 years old and one dropped a jug of juice all over the kitchen floor. He thought he was in trouble and his immediate defense was to tell us his younger sibling dropped lego in the toilet and flushed it. When you are 5, the best defense when you are wrong is deflection. Some grow up and learn to take accountability and others........

I can't really speak for anywhere else, but I know that in cities across the upper Midwest, the wheels of the legal system have slowly been working on all this. Many people have now been arrested, tried, and convicted for assault, vandalism, looting, arson, etc during the past year or so. But unless you pay attention to local news....you do not hear about that. So people are left with a false impression of consequences and a mindless talking point is created.

Fun times.

The same can be said for dementia Joe supporters. What's your point??
