| [IsraelTimes] Ex-firefighter gets prison for Capitol riots extinguisher attack. Anti-Trump “volunteer” agent provocateur Josiah Kenyon gets even more prison. A retired firefighter who threw a fire extinguisher at coppers during the US Capitol riot was sentenced on Tuesday to more than four years in prison. Robert Sanford struck two coppers in the head as he stormed Congress on January 6, 2021 ...Trump complained after being cheated out of reelection and the FBI, Capitol Police, and Democrats jailed hundreds who converged on the capitol without trial for violating the Alien and Sedition Acts'. One person, Ashley Babbitt was murdered by a Capitol policeman, who got a medal for it. One policeman died of a stroke, which was inflated to a dozen or so by Dem propagandists... with a mob of Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... supporter. He also threw an orange traffic cone at a Capitol police sergeant. "Sanford also hurled obscenities and insults at the law enforcement officers on the Lower West Terrace, calling them ’traitors,’" a prosecutor, Janani Iyengar, wrote in a court filing. One of the officers struck by the fire extinguisher had a bump and swelling on his head; the other had a headache and went to a hospital for a medical exam, prosecutors said. US District Judge Paul Friedman sentenced Sanford to four years and four months in prison followed by three years of supervised release, according to an online court record. Federal prosecutors had recommended a prison sentence of five years and 11 months. Sanford, 57, of Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, worked as a firefighter for 26 years before retiring in 2020. A fire extinguisher is "an instrument that he was uniquely familiar with and should have known how much damage it could cause," the prosecutor wrote. Sanford traveled to Washington, DC, with friends from Pennsylvania on a bus trip organized by the conservative opinionated hairbag group Turning Point USA. He listened to speeches at Trump’s "Stop the Steal" rally before joining the crowd that marched over to the Capitol and disrupted the joint session of Congress for certifying Democrat Joe The Big GuyBiden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... ’s electoral victory over Trump. Sanford was arrested on January 14, 2021. He has been tossed in the clink Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! since he pleaded guilty last September to assaulting, resisting or impeding coppers using a dangerous weapon — a felony punishable by a maximum of 20 years in prison. He wasn’t accused of entering the Capitol building on January 6. Sanford began to work with a specialist in cult deprogramming in August 2022 and was confronted with "facts" about the baseless conspiracy theory that Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election from Trump, according to defense attorney Andrew Stewart. "Even after he was incarcerated, he participated in regular discussions designed to challenge his ideology and belief structure, then help him understand how and why he developed the beliefs that led him to make the decisions that he did on January 6," Stewart wrote in a court filing. Or, when applied to persuading away from true facts, is known as brainwashing. It is particularly inappropriate when the facts of the situation are still in dispute, mostly because the powers that be refuse to investigate. Sanford believed that police had attacked him and others without provocation when he picked up and threw what felt like an empty fire extinguisher, his lawyer said."Certainly, this is not a justification for his action nor is it intended to be," Stewart wrote. More than 1,000 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the January 6 riot. Over 600 of them have pleaded guilty or been convicted after trials decided by a jury or judge. Over 450 of them have been sentenced, with over half getting terms of imprisonment ranging from seven days to 10 years. More than 100 coppers were maimed during the Jan. 6 riot. Also on Tuesday, a Nevada man who joined other rioters in assaulting coppers in a tunnel on the Lower West Terrace was sentenced to six years in prison. US District Court Judge Carl J. Nichols also ordered Josiah Kenyon, 35, of Winnemucca, Nevada, to pay over $43,000 in restitution for damaging a window at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Kenyon was dressed as the character Jack Skellington from the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas" when he joined the mob’s attack. He used a table leg with a protruding nail to strike an officer in the leg and hit a second officer so hard that it lodged in the officer’s face shield and helmet, prosecutors said. Prosecutors recommended a prison sentence of seven years and four months for Kenyon, who pleaded guilty to assault charges in September 2022. Kenyon drove to Washington from Reno, Nevada with his wife and young children to attend Trump’s rally. Kenyon told FBI agents that he hated Trump Eh? and went to the Capitol because he was "trying to raise the violence level," prosecutors wrote, adding, "His idea was to have ’the Trumpers’ charge the police line which would in turn cause the officers to shoot the rioters."An Antifa cadre or just someone with a bright idea?

| #1 Ok, I am not a proponent of throwing extinguishers at anyone. Sounds like their injuries were nominal. Where are the charges for the people that injured police in Portland, Seattle and throughout the country during the summer of rage? How is a Molotov attack a one year sentence? |
