I'm just getting caught up on today's events and wondered if he put on a show for the judge.

(6,168 posts)"Rising to speak before the sentence was handed down, Tarrio called Jan. 6 a national embarrassment, and apologized to the police officers who defended the Capitol and the lawmakers who fled in fear. His voice cracked as he said he let down his family and vowed that he is done with politics.
I am not a political zealot. Inflicting harm or changing the results of the election was not my goal, Tarrio said. Please show me mercy, he said, adding, I ask you that you not take my 40s from me.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, who was appointed to the bench by Trump, said Tarrio was motivated by revolutionary zeal to lead the conspiracy that resulted in 200 men, amped up for battle, encircling the Capitol. Noting that Tarrio had not previously shown any remorse publicly for his crimes, the judge said a stiff punishment was necessary to deter future political violence.
It cant happen again. It cant happen again, the judge repeated.

(14,509 posts)and nothing like what happens in other countries when people over throw their governments. They thought they were just making a strong statement backed by force from their small army, and possibly helping Trump influence governors and congress to give him the win.
Well, fellas, guess what thats called?
