2. Not long enough

These bastards should be locked up for life.

3. I see only shithole's cult followers are getting jail time ...

but the people who planned and instigated the actual coup are still walking free.

[Rhiannon12866]

18. That is always my first thought when I read these news stories

Why is the chief insurrectionist who invited all his now-jailed "followers" to the Capitol and ignored the violence for hours still walking free - to hold more "rallies?!"

[GreenWave]

20. He should get a gag order and his accomplices at the very least.

until court
Want to blab? Then stop stalling the process!

[Rhiannon12866]

24. I couldn't agree more. He's now attempting to incite more deluded "followers!"

[WarGamer]

4. This was an interesting case...

He's the one who was picked up and wasn't charged with a crime for 3 months, A federal Judge scolded the DoJ re: Speedy Trial violations and the DoJ dropped the 7 charges down to a single Felony charge and asked for 7-9 year sentence.

Judge gave 4+ yrs minus time served.

5. 4.5 years is a long time

From last July

After an eleven-month FBI investigation, Lucas “Rooster” Denney, president of a North Texas militia, was arrested in December on a southwest Texas ranch on eight counts related to his participation in the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol. Denney’s arrest warrant was based on a complaint that accused him of planning, recruiting, and fund-raising for the attack, fighting with law enforcement, and participating in the front line of the “heave-ho” battle at an entrance to the building. According to an incident report of the arrest, obtained by public records request, a Department of Public Safety officer took custody of Denney, 45, at a property in Brackettville, before turning him over to the FBI in Del Rio, thirty minutes to the west. The coordinates where he was arrested match those of a ranch that appears to be under the control of the Kinney County attorney, Brent Smith.

13. It would certainly be a long time for me! The nice thing is now that the is a convicted felon

he has lost his right to have a firearm.

[Botany]

16. And sitting in his cell he will have a moment of clarity that he is there because he was lied to ...

.... by "fat donny," fox news, and Russian talking points.

[Chainfire]

17. Do you think he will ever admit that? That would be and admission that he was a fool.

[Botany]

23. IDK

Admit it publicly IDK but to himself he would have to. He like > 95% of the 1/6/21 rioters
were driven by their racism, their lack of education, and the daily disinformation that was
fed to them as fact. But once in "the joint" he will be a nobody, suffer daily, and his family
will almost certainly leave him.

[SouthernDem4ever]

32. Well if he won't admit it

I'll say it for him. He was a fool.

[Samrob]

22. He doesn't have to think about it. He knew it was a lie from the beginning. He heard Roger Stone ..

[Lonestarblue]

21. That won't matter in Texas. Politicians don't care who has a gun here. The more, the better.

The good ole boys will see that he has guns and anything else he wants after he leaves prison.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. 4.5 years sounds right for the fighting; should add 5 years for planning, recruiting, fund-raising

The ones who helped incite the insurrection should be locked away from the society they tried to destroy.

[UTUSN]

6. Meanwhile Abbutt Paxton Patrick are on Texas streets.

[MagickMuffin]

7. Look who pals around with terrorists! Why it's my worthless senator

[Botany]

9. Would that be Lucas "Rooster" Denny on Cruz's left?

n/t

11. Another pic of Dumb Denney

[Botany]

12. Those shits who attacked the Capitol on 1/6 were the exact same thing as Mussolini's black shirts.

[kairos12]

29. He should have stayed at Wafflehouse.

[paleotn]

31. 3 percent of what?

The far left tail of the IQ distribution perhaps?

[Evolve Dammit]

25. Cancun Ted is about the worst we've ever seen. Seditionist, grifter whore.

[gratuitous]

8. Does Denney's felony conviction mean he can't own or possess firearms anymore?

Because that would be too bad.

[MissMillie]

10. In TX, somehow I doubt it. However,...

...it probably means he can't vote.

[Chainfire]

14. Yes it does!

[onecaliberal]

19. Not even close to enough.

[Grokenstein]

26. "the self-declared President of a militia group"

[RalphWiggum] "Tee hee hee! I'm a militia!" [/RalphWiggum]

[kairos12]

27. GITMO has room for these vile, disgusting traitors.

[ancianita]

28. # 275 sentenced out of 704 convicted by the DOJ in the 625 days since Jan 6 2021. But who's counting

[paleotn]

30. Good. Try explaining THAT to future employers.

Like there's every going to be any legitimate future employers for this piece of shit.

[Hassler]

33. Enjoy the prison cuisine, traitor
