JJCKY01 Time served. Ridiculous that they just now got a trial after being held 2 yrs.

Good. All those people he killed. Terrible.

So ridiculous

Too short

Thank you for reporting this. I have a former friend in Utah whose far-right views are going to get her imprisoned. I do not think some Utahns comprehend how inflamed their views are considered outside of Utah.

Should’ve been 30 years four treasonous act to our flag

SICK

Honestly I am so tired of hearing about this bull crap. They had a good reason to do this

Really who cares it's called free speech

This is bulls—- What did he do to get three years? Trespass? Judges are giving killers And other crimes less time! We need our country back.

Good

guess pelois gets away with it all huh it was all planned!

Any one who loves America & its reputation will never support Trump again. People who were part of Jan 6th incident now regret & say “ Why did they listen to Trump”? &say they did wrong. But now same people say “4 good America-Keep Trump AwayAgain like2020”. With ❤️

Free speech is dead for you people. Sentencing someone to death or life in prison for being a political enemy is Soviet shit.

Excellent news. Let's roll!!

Jail time for all the LAW BREAKERS! No one is excused. Now get the ringleader!

Ok, when will realDonaldTrump be indicted?

' Whether You Agree with them or Not as Citizens,they have every Right in the World to Protest and Air their Grievances, if this Administration was not so Neglectful of the Citizens of the Deep South,then this would not have happen,if he didn't kill no one, then Pardon all them!

More time than child rapists in California.

This is nothing but a political witch hunt, so the people who participated in the violent riots by causing property damage such as arson to a police station, post office, Federal building are there also going to receive the same punishment? If not it’s a political witch hunt.

Look how dangerous he is! Trying to use that flagpole to overthrow the government in a bloody coup

Look at that smaghead waving the flag of losers 😂

Only three years?How much time will his leader and instigator gets?

Good

3 years for trust passing it's a bit much. If the rules were reversed he would have been considered a peaceful protester

That’s all?

Ridiculous

And BLM thugs are still enjoying their flatscreens.

This is a shame.

😂🥰

Meanwhile the violent terrorists who attacked the white house on Jan 20, 2017 were all let go.

OMG he carried a flag?

The FBI headquarters was just eight blocks away and the CIA Headquarters was 2.5 miles away from the Capitol.What were they doing before it got out of hand.

He’s not a rioter. He’s a damn traitor.

3 years for trespassing in the people's house while waving the flag of the democrat flag from the 1860's

Nancy Pelosi was in charge of Securing the Capitol She made sure insider trading worked in her husband bedtime ritual favor but couldn't secure Capitol Nancy Pelosi by design Scape goated Trump for her decisions not to secure Capitol She's the culprit

GOOD!!! Onto the next……….

You don't get three years for sucker punching a man into a coma in New York City.

And the illegals breached the border will get welfare and benefits?!

What is a “riot”?

And then there are the “ social justice warriors” who stormed the White House June 2020 . They injured dozens of law enforcement officers and yet for some reason the law wasn’t equally applied for their criminal acts .

'You have to admire the elegance of their strategy. All it took was a well-placed whisper in the ear of the correct person at the Department of Justice to set the wheels in motion,'

Back in the day, steal a man's horse or sack the Capital, you either face a noose or a firing squad. Fast forward to a nation bankrupt on morals & everything else, pedophiles are now 'a sexual preference' & get parole & treasonous rats get popularity prizes. americaneedsGod

Good

What about FBI informant Ray Epps who gave battle plans to everyone? No punishment for fbi Seems odd

I sincerely hope he rots in prison

No charges!

That is not the Confederate flag, how much damage did this person do for 3 years?

He'll leave prison walking bowlegged

Should’ve been life for carrying that hate symbol

Anybody gone to jail for the 5/29 insurrection yet?

What about the Hunter Biden gun scandal, he lie on the background ATF form, thru the gun in a public trash container, he’s a drug addict using controlled substances, where’s the justice?

The time is coming for the mobster in chief!!!

For entering with a flag 🤡 I'll bet it was a rainbow flag the gov probably apologize to them

3 year sentence isn’t going to discourage the domestic terrorists aka the Republican Party from perpetrating another coup; in fact, it will motivate them.

Does the flag go in with him?

These J6 sentences are ridiculously excessive, a mockery of justice

Not enough

Not long enough …

As unfair in my opinion as it can get. Three years prison is unfair. As far as I know he didn't kill anyone, nor hurt anyone he did not carry a enemy flag, did he carry a Chinese flag? He carried a history flag. My opinion , I can have one.

So he’s a felon that can’t own a gun now? Ha

Meanwhile, real criminals are released and are coming to a neighborhood near you!

You forgot one...

Imagine how this is going to look in the history books. Not in Florida of course.

Do they still make soap-on-a-rope?

theyll be out in 7 months

How does this compare to the sentence of rioters at other protests Did he walk in or break in?

beautiful!!!!

That was half the recommended sentence.

Looters who burned and destroyed police cars and buildings and who looted all got no fines or jail time! Does that fact make any sense to the wokes

For what? Trespassing?

We’ll care about Jan 6th. When you care about this with the same media coverage.

Their leader could have pardoned them all before he left . He didn’t pardon not even 1 of them but pardoned rich guys who took wall money !

You do know that represents democratic origins.

Good

Lol

Rules for me and not for thee. From the commie left.

another one bits the dust.

Now do a report on how many hundreds of people got released Without Charges because the capital police allowed them in

So what

General LEE.

DAM, THAT'S ALL?!

Yet the cartel can run the border..

As a person of color, of course I don't support the Confederacy, but it was the police who let most of these guys in. He doesn't deserve three years for this.

He can get his hands on a different type of “flag pole” in prison. Enjoy your time there bi+(

If he was carrying a BLM flag while looting and burning down a 7/11 he would of had all charges dropped.

On today's episode of 'Racist Rednecks', Kevin F's around and finds out.

Good thing he's been detained over two years already.

Ya right, liars ,this guy was put there by Pelosi to make Trump look bad . That b.... know what she was doing, even had a film crew with her .

What if ABC did their job and investigated the Biden Laptop and family corruption. What if ABC investigated the Russia Collusion story and reported facts. What is ABC asked questions about the 2000 election interference affidavits. Would have January 6th happened. Complicit?

But people can burn downfederal buildings and nothing

Hey ABC. Anything on Nord Stream Pipeline and Biden? Anything on Biden corruption Anything on Twitter and FBI collusion to impact elections Any ABC employees ready to speak out on their company’s collusion with DNC And FBI?

Ridiculous

Good

Time served already! Free them!!

the flag of the democrat party 1861-1865

Good.

What was ray epps punishment

For walking?

Lmao. See ya

Love it.

It’s rioter correct. Ok

Ridiculous. Only in america.

And what would have happened if he had being carrying an Israeli flag ?

Seen rapist get less

Does anyone suspect contact with intel prior 1/6?

Did he actually do something worth three years or did just carry a.flag

There's nothing shameful about being a political prisoner or a prisoner of war in the struggle! This battle isn't nearly over because this battle has just begun. Remember that the very revolution that made the America we know possible too started with insurrection.

That's a freaking vacation!

I can't wait till the GOP reveals the truth of what happened.

How many years did the BLM rioters get? Oh yeah that’s right NONE cuz it’s OK to riot and destroy if you’re black!

But Schumer gave him the flag!

I hope it was worth it for this clown.

Good.

Selective prosecution

TheEdgyVeggie1 But…..he is a transwoman!!!

And what role did Ray play in this? Anyone gonna ever go after Ray?

While police just watch him walk in after they opened the doors for them. This is 100% propaganda

When we start imprisoning our defenders of freedom, that's when we start losing our values as Americans. These are sad times for America!

He got off easy. 1/6 was the worst terrorist attack on American soil.

Expect the same with the feb. 6 attacks

My fave confederate flag meme…

His lawyer: 'Lacking an education beyond the ninth grade and lacking even average intellectual capacity...” Everybody: duh

Imagine the type of clown 🤡 that cries about someone kneeling during the national anthem then carrying around or showing support for the Confederate Flag 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Come on! It should be at least double the time it took those cowards to lose the civil war.

Good!

Yet criminals who commit brutal crimes are let go to offend again. Slap on the wrist and a please dont do it again. This is the peoples house is it not? What about justice for the young woman who was shot and killed...a veteran no less. So unfair.

Great work hell have plenty of time to think

For walking into an open door. 3 years? Ridiculous..

That’s bullshit. They should go after Pelosi and the rest of the people responsible. Fucking treasonous Democrats.

And the BLM with billions in damage and over dead walk free. Justice needs to applied equally and I just don't see it

Any charges for these Capital insurrectionists? Oh wait they’re Democrats.

Federal judge needs to be fired immediately.

Good!

Should have gotten 20 years!! Any military personnel should be DISHONORED DISCHARGED AND DENIED ANY AND ALL MILITARY BENEFITS !! CNNPolitics TheLeadCNN

They should just give him small fine and let him be

'Breached'

Not fair compared to what happen to the people who burned down and looted the cities

Not long enough

It's a shame the backward hillbilly Americans dont show the same passion about their children dying in school massacres, as they show for their stupid democracy..

ChrisAlex13927

KJoJoe21

Should have been life.

Garbage, they didn't burn their cities down, loot businesses or assault police stations but they're the bad guys.... Get real. Arrest politicians all of em.

FBI false flag!

That’s total bullshit!

See how protests turn to riots turn to jail. When coming together do bigger or don’t go.

Another innocent patriot being wrongly sentenced.

Go after those who GROOMED and ENCOURAGED him to March to the Capital and stop...

Not long enough hopefully you and your buddy Trump can talk in the same cell if he joins you .

Good!

A bit harsh, considering police were holding open the doors.

REALLY?

Why, that's shorter than the 'War Between the States!' Should've been at least 4.

Yea another person who has lost his right to vote serves him right

Treasonous piece of shit and racist! Have fun in prison! 😂

Trump is eating a very expensive meal somewhere tonight.

Now let's have Justice for people who assault police officers and loot neighborhoods like Amtifa ans the BLM fraud. At least they had the statues removed so they were kept safe during the Capitol invasion 🤣🤣🤣

God, please bring our Founding Fathers back from the dead. In Jesus' name, amen.

Take a look at yourself ROSEY 🤔😏

3 years for simple trespass- that judge sounds like a fascist.

Dems think jailing people for being stupid is a good idea, can't wait to return the favor.

GAMES BEING PLAYED AND NO ACTION , some people would get 20 to 40 years for a whole lot Less than that. OMG, HELP US PLEASE!!!!!

Who opened the door and let him in!?

Look who is behind him with his hands in his pockets!?

Nancy paid for him . She also is going to have his identity changed and he will not spend a day in jail. Fake narrative that Dems congealed themselves. Just like fbi scandals Ukraine scandals pipeline blowing up issues !!

Ashley Babbit (traitor) is the only one who got the proper sentence

THREE YEARS? There is not justice in the justice system.

How many years did the “mostly peaceful” BLM/ANTIFA rioters get for burning down businesses in cities across America?

You mean an extreme rightwing MAGA insurrectionist.

So, he's almost out now huh?

And yet Antifa folks who actually burned down buildings have no consequences.

Should’ve been 30 years in prison

This is so very wrong. Total BS.

👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I believe in the death penalty.

👏👏

is that really equitable? third world country'd

Who cares. Is ABC going to post whenever someone gets arrested for trespassing? This is just a story for liberals to get a boner to.

I wonder if these charges are classified as violent crimes, what level offender classification do they get ?

I bet the judge has a problem with this flag too…

While these pricks walk free.

When will they sentence Trump the bully and rioter to prison?

Not long enough.

Toss him in the can & lose the key. Hope the boys treat him appropriately in the pokie. 🇺🇲 Traitor NeverForgetJanuary6th

How very Stalinesque .

Hoping that these folks are seeing differently now. Never follow a multitude to do wrong. Oftentimes, you are the only one held accountable whilst others that are untouchable will get off scotch free. Peter pays for Paul, Paul pays all. Lesson learned.

Rapists, murders and thieves get far less. Demented, vindictive legal system! 🤦‍♂️

GMA What that’s good, the prison sentence should have been longer than that.

THIS'N MERICAN PATRIOT WAS FIGHTIN FOR ALL OUR FREEDERMS AWL PRAY TUH GOD FER EEM

He could have paid a few millions and walk away a free man.

And yet……

3 years in prison for literally invading the capital of the country but 5 years for marijuana possession or even death if your skin tone is black 🤣

BUT, WHY NOT PELOSI AS SHE AND HER AGENTS OPENED THE DOOR WIDE OPEN AND, AS THEY ALL ENTERED THEY WERE SHOUTING AT PELOSI AND HER GUARD/AGENTS: TRAITORS, F TRAITORS! REMEMBER, THIS WAS ON ALL TV NETWORK NEWS... SO, WHO IS AT FAULT?

First insurrection in history where no one is charged with insurrection.

3 years? Wow

Good. Now prosecute him for Treason and ship him to Gitmo stripped of his citizenship. GOPDomesticTerroristOrganization partyofputin EnemyWithin NeverForgetJanuary6th NeverForgiveJan6th Treason GOPPedoRing GOPSexTrafficking GOPGroomers GOPRapists

Three years isn’t enough. It should have been 20+ years.

GOOD! January 6th was the worst day in the history of America. I can't even think of a close 2nd.
