The first rioter sentence is 8 months

[Beachnutt]

in prison, will there be fines and some probation time after prison ?
will he get time off for good behavior or time served ?
Anybody know..

[FBaggins]

1. Has he been incarcerated since January?

That might take six months off the top

[bottomofthehill]

2. Bullshit 8 months

What a load of shit

[samnsara]

3. probation for a long time afterwards.. really think hes gonna stay clean?

[rsdsharp]

4. The first one sentenced was a week or so ago.

He got six months with credit for time served. He had two days left.

[Beachnutt]

7. people breaking into a convenience store get years

so you can break into the Capital and do less than a convenience store break in...
what a crock

[RockRaven]

5. Fucking hell, that's less than half the sentencing guideline, IIRC...

[2naSalit]

6. Not long enough!

Should be a minimum FIVE YEARS for the least offenses. Minimum.



We're doomed.

8. They are white and likely didn't have any priors, not sure what folks are expecting.

[uponit7771]

10. yep

9. This guys sentence is on the low side of felony first time IINM the rest will be more

[Yonnie3]

11. plus 24 months supervised release n/t

12. I do think the sentence is too lenient

From ABC news:

"Hodgkins was never accused of assaulting anyone or damaging property. And prosecutors said he deserves some leniency for taking responsibility almost immediately and pleading guilty to the obstruction charge.

But they also noted how he boarded a bus in his hometown of Tampa bound for a Jan. 6 Trump rally carrying rope, protective goggles and latex gloves in a backpack — saying that demonstrated he came to Washington prepared for violence."

Rope? Goggles? Gloves? I don't know how it can be argued that he got caught up in the moment when he brought those items with him.

Well, at least he's going to have a felony on his record forever, and prison will suck, even for just 8 months. I'm sure this also cost a lot in legal fees. So there's that.

[Beachnutt]

14. if he gets time served he will only do a cpl months

in prison

[Rorey]

17. He was allowed to bail out quickly and be on an ankle monitor

But I doubt he'll serve more than a couple of months anyway.

[Beachnutt]

13. so if a black lives matter protester

with no prior record followed a mob that broke into a family dollar store but didn't take anything and was on camera going in what would his sentence be ???

[Effete Snob]

15. That would depend on the state in question

Since that state offense, unlike this case, would not be in a federal court.

[GoodRaisin]

16. He was carrying f'ing rope. That alone calls for a longer sentence.

And he should have been remanded to custody too. What bs.

Was that the rope for Mike Pence?
