Proud Boy Joe Biggs receives 17 years in Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy case
nbcnews.com

Joe Biggs, a Proud Boys leader convicted of seditious conspiracy who the government says "served as an instigator and leader" during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison on Thursday.

It is among the longest sentences in Capitol riot cases. The record is the 18-year sentence given to Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, also convicted of seditious conspiracy, after prosecutors sought 25 years in federal prison in his case.

I said people like you, and I just explained what I meant by that.

I'm sorry you can't fucking read chief.

You still have to explain how

Actually, I don't. This has now become boring and tedious. If I see your stupid takes around again maybe I will hurl some more arguments your direction for meaningless internet points. But for now I'm going to go do something more productive.

It's been real, it's been fun, but it ain't been real fun 😘
