A man who joined a nightly performance of the national anthem inside the D.C. jail that has been promoted by former president Donald Trump and his allies was sentenced to seven years in prison for assaulting police and obstructing Congress on Jan. 6.

Shane Jenkins, 46, acknowledged in D.C. federal court that he had an “extensive” criminal history and apologized “for all the pain and suffering I’ve caused.” But, he added: “I love this country. I’m not some crazed maniac.”

Using a tomahawk he brought with him from Texas, Jenkins was the first to smash a window on the West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol, and was caught on video shouting “we paid for it, it’s our f---ing building.” That breach gave rioters access to senators’ offices, which were trashed and ransacked.

Those who went inside carried out broken furniture that Jenkins and others used to attack police guarding a tunnel. After a brief break to recover from being repeatedly hit with pepper spray, Jenkins returned to the tunnel and threw a wooden desk drawer, a flagpole, a metal walking stick, a broken wooden pole and other objects at the police line. Jenkins was convicted at trial on eight felony charges.

Make that Mama Tried tattoo more appropriate.

I learned that song from my Daddy.

Brother!! 🙄🤭

3. I wish the fines had been much higher for all these miscreants

If you go bust up a local business, you're going to learn the word "restitution."

All they've taught is "slap on the wrist".

18. I wish we hadn't had to wait all this time...

to see “justice” meted out.

24. Considering how many insurrectionists

have been found, arrested, and indicted, it is pretty impressive. The amount of resources and manpower required is considerable and during all this, the Justice Department has other crimes to investigate and prosecute as well.

Meanwhile, I find it rather satisfying to know there are still people out there anxiously waiting for that dreaded FBI knock on their door. The long and painful anticipation of their accountability adds to their just punishment.

Yes, it has felt like a long time, but actually it has happened quite quickly and efficiently. Plus it is ongoing. We'll undoubtedly be seeing these prosecutions for many years to come.

Yes you are.

[The Grand Illuminist]

26. He is not a crazed maniac.

He knew what he was doing of sound mind. He is one of an almost overwhelming threat that needs to be dealt with accordingly to the highest extent.

25. He'll have lots of practice with those cold prison showers.

[Wonder Why]

27. If Stupid was crazy, they might have cured him in 2 years and then might be released. Now he gets 7

in prison so he must be crazy to have picked that choice. Catch 22 sucker! After you get out of prison then they might lock you up for being crazy.
