'The violence was you': January 6 rioter who assaulted Michael Fanone sentenced to over 7 years
Source: CNN Politics
CNN Kyle Young, one of several rioters who attacked Washington, DC, police officer Michael Fanone during the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol was sentenced to 86 months in prison on Tuesday. On January 6, the violence was you, Judge Amy Berman Jackson told Young before handing down the sentence, adding that he was a one man wrecking ball that day who attacked Fanone under the whirling banner of a Blue Lives Matter flag.
In May, Young pleaded guilty to assaulting Fanone, holding his wrist and pulling his arm while the officer was dragged into the mob by other rioters. Fanone has since left the Metropolitan Police and is now a CNN contributor. After being pulled from the line of officers, Fanone was then beaten by rioters during one of the most brutal assaults on police protecting the Capitol that day.
He was tased in the neck and eventually lost consciousness during the attack, where he had begged rioters for his life and told them he had children. Young, Jackson said, was the individual who handed another rioter the stun gun used to electrocute Fanone. Young then showed the individual how to operate the device. You had to teach him how to turn it on, Jackson said, you armed someone.
The individual, Daniel Rodriguez, is charged with electrocuting Fanone several times in his neck and has pleaded not guilty. I hope someday youll forgive me, Young, who brought his 16-year-old son with him to the Capitol, said to Fanone during the sentencing hearing. I know you hate me. Young told the judge that whatever you give me as punishment I accept and I probably deserve.

(3,491 posts)That assault was as brutal as anything that happened that day. Just a horror show.
As an electrician though, I have to point out that tazing someone is not electrocution. Electrocution results in death. He was shocked with the tazer.

(6,423 posts)It is sad that they seem unaware of those 2 things: propaganda & rhetoric and the twisting of them, the cherry-picking, and flat out lying?
Or is it just dummies taking things too seriously, but ultimately their ideology culled from their consumption of said rhetoric and propaganda that is now a bit more mean spirited & ever relentless?
