1/6 suggests it would actually be shockingly easy to take the Capitol. And that’s probably why they’re hammering these protesters.
It’s easy if the Feds want you in the building.
If they don’t, it’s not nearly as easy.

So when will that be applied to every POS FBI agent who touched muh Russia?

41 months is too much for any non violent offense(s) whether you are black, white, gay or straight, that doesn't involve repeated property crimes over the course of years.
He's being made an example, I don't know why that's difficult to admit.
The legislature is who makes these laws and sets the sentencing guidelines. The government (the Court) is simply following guidelines that were already set long before this guy ever did what he did. If you don't agree with the sentencing guidelines that correspond with certain offenses, fine, just say that. But when you say that his sentence is just the government trying to make an example out of him, then you're just not making any sense are are just simply naïve to what the law provides.
However, I think your actual issue is not with the rule of law, but when people have chosen or not chosen to follow the rule of law. But that's a separate conversation altogether. This guy didn't get "railroaded." He got the minimum sentence based on well-established federal sentencing guidelines. The issue is there are other people who haven't been prosecuted for offenses when they should have been.

What are the other examples of people that have been sentenced under the statute you cited before 1/6?

So you think that the sentencing is appropriate.
I think the sentence is appropriate for the charged and pled to offense, yes. He knew what the sentence was when he agreed to plead guilty.
quote:
A lot of people don’t.
No, a lot of people just think because there are/were other people across the country who weren't prosecuted for things they should have been that it's not fair to prosecute this guy and others for offenses he/they committed. The appropriate response shouldn't be this guy was treated unfairly but rather the federal government and various state governments weren't prosecuting others that should have been. I think everyone should be held accountable for their actions under the laws of this country and laws of the states. That applies to him and everyone else who hasn't been prosecuted.

Those are impossible to separate. If the cop who runs Mayberry only gives tickets to black people who speed and ignores white speeders, those black people aren't being treated fairly. Pointing out "well, they were speeding so they deserve tickets" doesn't change that fact.
Equal protection under the law is important to some of us.

I believe so.
Congress was warned about the event. Declined additional help and security.
Doors were opened and protesters were escorted in.
Not sure what you take away from that other than some government folks wanted some protesters inside the building.

If this is true, why did he plead guilty?

I don’t know. He probably has a lawyer that used to work for FedGov.

That fricker has been proven to be a paid shill. This is just theater.

And the treasonous cabal that criminally corrupted our highest Institutions of Law and Justice in order to take a duly elected POTUS out...WALKS!
So how long does our now corrupt 'government' herd cats (formerly known as patriots), and maintain prosperous society? Not long, IMO; beginning to crash already.
The stench of DC reaches to Heaven. I hope to live to see the day that real Justice is served.

Chansley’s lawyer
His lawyer also called the J6 protesters “short bus” riders.
I think he didn’t get a very good defense.
The lawyer is from St. Louis and he’s an a-hole.

An Associated Press review of court documents in more than 300 federal cases stemming from the protests sparked by George Floyd’s death last year shows that dozens of people charged have been convicted of serious crimes and sent to prison.
The AP found that more than 120 defendants across the United States have pleaded guilty or were convicted at trial of federal crimes including rioting, arson and conspiracy. More than 70 defendants who’ve been sentenced so far have gotten an average of about 27 months behind bars. At least 10 received prison terms of five years or more.
