WASHINGTON A Stark County man learned Monday he must spend 49 months in federal prison for his role in breaching the U.S. Capitol.
John Douglas Wright, 56, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia., more than two years after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
Wright addressed Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, expressing remorse and taking responsibility.
I want to apologize for my actions, not just to you, but to the government, to fellow Americans, Wright said. I was there and am responsible for it."
aid.
During the sentencing, the U.S. attorney showed video footage and photographs of Wright at the Capitol. The footage showed Wright pushing against barricades by the Capitol Police, as well as another video showing him pushing a piece of the metal barricade fencing down on a Capitol Police officer.
According to court documents, Wright organized two charter buses that he owned to travel to Washington, D.C., charging 100 people $50 each to go to D.C. for the Stop the Steal rally.

(50,546 posts)...the last person you want staring you down from the bench is Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly. She was made a DC Superior Court judge by Reagan, and elevated to the federal bench by Clinton. Hopefully she gets the opportunity to throw all these guys in prison before she completely retires from the bench - she went into Senior Judge status on February 21, 2023.

ProfessorGAC
(64,967 posts)...but went on social media to recant his "apology".
He may not be the only one to do that.
So I'm not surprised only 2 showed actual remorse.

Even worse is the way that supposedly college educated people slaughter the English language my friend, (if I may call you that.)

MarineCombatEngineer
(12,335 posts)but nowhere in the story posted does it say anything about time served already.

(16,924 posts)He has to pay a 'restitution' of $2000 to the "ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL."
Yeah, that's the guy that Joe just fired because he couldn't bother to be there on Jan. 6, in spite of ALL of the warnings!

(8,327 posts)Like trips to Florida, trips to the local wineries and letting his wife and daughter use his G ride. The one day he should have used it, 1/6. He did not. He stayed home scared to come to work.
MyOwnPeace
(16,924 posts)And that's my point.
The guy was getting heat for MANY reasons, and even the Repukes were complaining about him - and PRESIDENT BIDEN seized the moment and 'made him gone!'
Yes, he was another FAILED tRUMP appointment.
And YES, Joe got him gone!

(15,933 posts)Which means he helped to create more chaos and destruction to our Capitol. My judgment wouldve been more severe than 49 months!

DENVERPOPS
(8,804 posts)given the political atmosphere still being displayed.........Out of 70 million Republican Patsy voters, there are bound to be more from where they came from. And, quite possibly many of the militia groups around the nation that didn't show up last time round.......
At this stage of the game, I wouldn't be surprised at anything.......Just think about how many times in the past 6+ years we have repeatedly said: "They Can't Do That".........and they actually did it, and worse, never paid for it.......except for these few clowns........
Justice matters.
(6,925 posts)Now that they know their dear hair furhair ordered the metal detectors to be shut down, they may bet they'll be able to bring their AR15s with them next time.
Only 17.75 months left before the 60-day LE blackout rule kicks in...
And hair furhair still golfs at our expense (SS protected).
