Jacob Chansley received one of the harshest sentences so far in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“‘Times up, motherfuckers’ is not peaceful, your honor,” Paschall said, referencing what Chansley yelled in the Senate chamber. “That’s chilling.” She noted the letter Chansley left on Vice President Mike Pence’s desk ― which said, “It’s only a matter of time. Justice is coming.” ― was “not peaceful.” She called the note “a threat.”
Speaking before Lamberth just before he was sentenced, Chansley thanked the judge for moving him to another jail where he could get an“I believe in freedom with all my heart and soul,” Chansley said. “But I also believe in law and order, because without law and order you can’t have freedom.” Chansley said he came to realize he was wrong for entering the Capitol, but said he was not “an insurrectionist” or “a domestic terrorist,” just “a good man who broke the law.” Chansley said he would “do everything differently” if he could go back and relive Jan. 6.Minutes later, Chansley made his way inside the gallery of the U.S. Senate, where he yelled “time’s up motherfuckers” as other rioters rifled through senators’ desks in the chamber below.
The government asked for a sentence of 51 months in federal prison, saying his criminal acts had “made him the public face of the Capitol riot.” The damage from Jan. 6, the DOJ argued, “will last far longer than the hours’ delay” in the certification of the results of the presidential election.
Hopefully he can get the help and education he needs or this will be too lite of a sentence for him.
Harsh sentence a human being just for trespassing a building that is part citizens patrimony. In fact, that was not a real insurrection!.
I think is not enough jail time but is something
