Man sentenced to probation in US Capitol attack after revealing he lost his job, now delivers pizza

[left-of-center2012]

A former Pennsylvania insurance salesman who participated in the US Capitol attack was sentenced Tuesday to six months' probation after revealing he had lost his job and now works as a part-time pizza delivery driver.

Edward McAlanis, from Lancaster County, says he was fired for his participation in the January 6, 2021, riot. The revelation came to light during McAlanis' sentencing hearing Tuesday. He previously had pleaded guilty to one charge of parading, demonstrating or picketing in the US Capitol.

His sentence, handed down by Judge Dabney Friedrich, was six months' probation, $500 in restitution and 60 hours of community service. Three other charges brought against him were dropped in exchange for the plea.

"It was just an awful day in many respects," McAlanis told the judge Tuesday. "Going back, I wish I could take it back, but I can't."

5. It was a magats-gone-wild riot. So many lost their effin minds...

over trump. Now they're sorry.

The judges have been too lenient IMO though in many instances.

I feel a little though for this guy now reduced to part-time pizza delivery. He has at least stated remorse.

6. Note that Judge Dabney Friedrich was appointed by trump thus the light meaningless sentence.
