Florida man gets 8 months in prison in 1st felony sentence from Capitol riot

[bottomofthehill]

59. On a max of 20 years and prosecution asking for 18 months

I would have sentenced 19 months to send the signal that Domestic Terrorism will not be tolerate. It was involved in an attack on the Capitol where people died. He was on the Floor of the Senate so was clearly directly responsible for the Senate going into recess this stopping the electoral college count process.

I would think that slightly more than what the prosecution was asking sends a message, I also think that sentencing less than half of what they were asking also sends a message that this was no big thing.

This man was involved and convicted in an act of domestic terrorism against the United States, terrorized thousands of people who work at the capitol and millions more watching on TV. To me, it warrants more than 8 months.
