    Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs sentenced to 17 years in January 6 case | CNN Politics

    It's the longest sentence given, yet, pending Trump's future sentencing, of course. His mother must be proud, also.

    CNN —
    A leader of the Proud Boys who led the far-right organization’s infamous march to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was sentenced Wednesday to 17 years in prison – among the longest sentence handed down yet for a convicted rioter.

    One of the charges Biggs was convicted on was seditious conspiracy. Which is the charge given to someone attempting an insurrection trying to overthrow the government. He was more than just a rioter. He was a central figure in planning the operation.

    Supposedly cried at his sentencing, saying that "I was seduced by the crowd and I just moved forward. I was curious. I wanted to see what would happen."

    Insurrection curious?

    Does Tarrio get a longer or shorter sentence than Biggs?

    Lol... trying to blame Trump for their own actions is sad... He was never told to do jack by Trump. But I do find 17 years in jail becasue the capital police let you into the Capital Building a bit harsh. And a weaponless entrance into the Capital Building is NOT an Insurrection... pure hyperbole... fiction.

    Trump publicly and expressly told them to "stand back and stand by." Obviously just some confusion on their part about whether that standing order had been amended.

    Nice rant. Unfortunately you have your facts wrong. There have been at least 3 people charged with carrying guns on Jan 6, and many more who were carrying less lethal weapons such as clubs, stun guns, and others.

    And the Capital Police "let" people in the building as part of a fall back operation to re-establish lines inside, because they police were getting pummeled outside. Oh and Trump? Not only did he tell these people to stand by during the last debate, during his Jan 6 speech, he pointed directly at the Capital and told the people to march over there. These are facts. Your rant? Based on pure fiction.

    Yep. He wasn’t actually there on J6 but was the hub for all the planning by PBs.

    Well perhaps he and the other traitorous bastards can get a pardon if the gop wins the wh in 2024. Then they can be guests of honor at some kind of orgasmic maga rally. All hail the orange god.
