Rioter who hurled bow like a spear at police during Jan. 6 attack gets more than 7 years in prison
apnews.com
A professional butcher whose bloody, wild-eyed face became one of the most memorable images of the U.S. Capitol riot was sentenced Thursday to more than seven years in prison for hurling a bow like a spear at police and attacking several other officers.
Fucked around. Found out.
Everyone likes to fuck around but don't want to find out
Amen, brother.
It's taken a long time to get to this point though. I remember watching them all leave and wondering if they'd get any punishment at all.
Wait...this article is confusing, as is the title. I'm assuming the "bow" being referred to is a hunting bow of some sort. So did he just show up with bow, and no arrows, and then throw his bow at police "like a spear"?
Also, why couldn't they just say he threw/hurled/attacked with the bow? Adding the "like a spear" makes it even more of an odd statement to parse.
This awful timeline is so fucking terribly confusing.
Every single one should be doing serious time
Poetic justice is when the "lock her up!" crowd starts getting locked up.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
How did he change his class from ranger to Amazonian mid-battle?
Oh he's definitely a home brew
He realized that he didn't fulfill the int requirements for the bow.
You don’t have to be proficient in your weapon of choice to get a weapons charge 😂
Imagine throwing 7 YEARS of your precious life away for Donald fucking Trump.... I'd be kicking my own ass in prison every single day of those 7 years for how monumentally stupid I was.
While ACAB, these assholes deserve everything the US justice system throws at them and then some.
When you're talking about police on Jan6, you have to specify if you mean the ones defending the capital or the ones attacking it. Or maybe you men the ones who were supposed to defend the capital but decided to be ushers and tour-guides instead.
There were very fine pigs on both sides.
I'm not defending the US police, like I said ACAB. But most if not all of these rioters also deserve to feel the might of the judges hammer for their actions, so yes, assholes all around.
I'm Finnish and haven't even ever visited the US, so in that regard I have no horse in this race. But, Trumpers and their ilk are a detriment to what passes as a peaceful and lawful society in the US, and Jan Sixers even more so. While I don't wish most Trumpers harm, and instead wish that they'd somehow manage to grow a functional brain, there is no saving the Jan Sixers, so I wish upon them the full might of the law for their actions. Especially because it seems that certain right wingers in Europe, Finland included, seem to either look up to Trump or at least view him as an useful idiot and something of a guidebook on how to weasel their way into power.
Finland recently elected a rather right winged government, but thankfully the majority party is Kokoomus, who are more of the economic right and thus are hampered by the other parties, like Perussuomalaiset who are a right-wing populist party, that they have to form a government with. So it seems kinda hopeful that they won't be able to screw up too badly, though compared to the previous government, this might be an upgrade in some regards...
So, yeah, to sum this up, fuck the american cops and also fuck the rioters. There is no "lesser evil" to choose from here, just two different flavors of evil and shit.
Another cultist volunteering his freedom so rich Republicans can stay out of jail and have some idiot do their dirty work for them
Ignorant pawns
