Jacob Chansley, whose shirtless image on the Senate rostrum and menacing note to Vice President Mike Pence came to symbolize the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, has been sentenced to almost 3 1/2 years in prison, matching the harshest sentence handed down yet in the 10-month prosecution effort.
“What you did was terrible. You made yourself the epitome of the riot,” said the judge, an appointee of President Ronald Reagan. “You didn’t slug anybody, but what you did here was actually obstruct the functioning of the whole government. It’s a serious crime.” Nonbinding federal sentencing guidelines called for between 41 to 51 months in prison for Chansley on the obstruction of justice count he pleaded guilty to.
Paschall said Chansley had spent months whipping up followers into a frenzy over false claims of voter fraud, describing his efforts as “a call to battle.” Then, she said, Chansley stormed past police and onto the Senate dais where Pence stood just moments before and wrote a note that read: “It’s only a matter of time. Justice is coming.”
That’s bullshit🤬🤬🤬
I thought the penalty for treason was death?
41? It would have been more poetic to sentence him to 45.
He looks horny. Prison should cure that.
Stupidity has consequences, though Trump seems to be an exception.
That's the face he's gonna make behind the walls
He should’ve been given 15 years, but this is clearly how the system works here in Amerikkka.
God help this lost soul. He and many like him have no purpose in life, so they join in radical purposes outside of God's will and are controlled by those who take advantage of their disturbed consciousnesses.
The public face of the Capitol riot is not the public face of our Founding Fathers or great past leadership. Compare his face with that of George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. May sanity come back to our country.
Should have gotten a much longer sentence, but at least it's something.
Good.
Not long enough
Turn to Jesus, we've all sinned & we're all evil, we stand trial for the evil we've done in front of our judge who is God, no judge frees people for their good deeds, only perfect or forgiven people make it, stop sinning, he's coming back soon, he payed for your sins, God bless.
.
Yea!!! One more down, thousands more to got... Lock them up!!! Lock them up!!! Lock them up!!! Lock them up!!!
Not long enough in my opinion.
?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hope they don't feed him his 'special' diet when he's sitting in his actual prison cell
Does it have to be an American prison? Perhaps we can house him in a Prison in Mexico, Turkey, China, or Iran.
No picture of him in handcuffs?
Mentally ill man, Jacob Chansley, has been sentenced to 41 months in prison, after serving nearly a year in solitary confinement for non violent offenses. The harshest punishment served so far, to someone who is mentally ill. America is a failed state. (FixedYourHeadline)
Um I guess we knew he was off his rocker: Chansley was diagnosed by prison officials with transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety. When he entered his guilty plea, Chansley said he was disappointed Trump had not pardoned him.
Under Fed rules, with good behavior, he will serve less than 35 months. If he can show he had a drug or alcohol problem, he can enter RDAP and bring his time down to 2 years.
He will be released just in time for 2024 to do it again. Jan6th 'What do you call a failed coupattempt ? Re: a rehearsal.' - Thom_Hartmann Jan6
The Q folks want to EXECUTE you. Let that sink in. Then think about this cretin being released early. Or ever. Unless the Justice system tries to deprogram these CULT MEMBERS, they should give them harsher sentences. This guy will be out by 2024.
So the guy who attempted the overthrow of the United States government is now just a protester Politico?
Thought this guys had already got 51 months🙄
Everyone Of Those Insurrectionists Should Get The Same Punishment.
He didn't even burn anything down. Such bullshit
Not enough.
Sounds about white
Wonder how many times he's thought about hindsight. It's late baby!
And the orchestrators of the whole thing? Nothing.
this country is so uneven
That's so wrong
Not long enough!
When you ask for a special diet. Boy, Howdy!
That is not enough... he should be in prison for atleast 10 years. What an absolute disgrace to this country.
Has Trump sent his sympathy?
He should have gotten the MAXIMUM, not the minimum.
Absurd. 41 months for trespassing. If he had burned a few buildings, attacked civilians and taunted police, he would be free. Not held for months without prosecution and denied speedy trial.
Actions, meet consequences.
That's it? Many Native still in prison that were in protest against the Dakota Pipeline. These people intentionally and knowingly broke into the capital. The hipacrocy.
He should have been treated like a traitor!
Oh my...is THAT what insurrectionest get nowadays...meanwhile TEENAGERS get labeled for LIFE for stupid mistakes.
waiting for Trump's love reply
This impunity, completely UNFAIR, and is purely done to scare, and punish all Trump supporters!
Time to raise funds to free this patriot. Liberals burned down cities and killed innocent Americans and they were praised. An American stood up against a tyrant and this is what happens. fliberals burnthemalldown AmericansagainstLiberals
Maga = Terrorism!!
WhitePrivilege in America
He's finding out. Its lovely to see.
“Harsh”
Good Riddance!
Meanwhile SpeakerPelosi sentenced to 0 months in prison for insider trading during her 30+ years in office.
Bullshit!!!?
Political prisoner
BUT... if he'd shown up to a protest in Wisconsin w a Assault rifle & killed a few people - he'd be free !!! .. live n learn.
