A Florida man described by prosecutors as one of the most violent rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Wednesday to five years in prison, court records show.
Kenneth Bonawitz, a member of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group’s Miami chapter, assaulted at least six police officers as he stormed the Capitol with a mob of Donald Trump supporters on Jan. 6, 2021. He grabbed one of the officers in a chokehold and injured another so severely that the officer had to retire, according to federal prosecutors.
Bonawitz, 58, of Pompano Beach, Florida, carried an eight-inch knife in a sheath on his hip. Police seized the knife from him in between his barrage of attacks on officers.
I’m against both trump people and police. How am I supposed to feel?
Angry. Police beat people all the time and then charge the victim with assaulting a police officer. Only getting 5 years for actually assaulting multiple cops is a joke.
I wish the left had shown up that day. imagine committed anarchists roaming the halls of power calling for Mike pence and pelosi.
and if the feds ever actually brought them up on charges, it would have been j20 all over again: multi-million dollar settlements paid to the arrestees.
the right is bad at insurrection and it shows.
they should be embarrassed.
They’d be traitors, just the same.
That’s the thing with all flavors of treason: insurrection, rebellion, revolution, civil war, etc. If you don’t win, you’re a traitor.
And the vast majority of Americans don’t want “leftist” anarchists to overthrow the government. You can see what happens when people overthrow their governments by watching abroad.
>They’d be traitors, just the same.
is that what you thought about the j20 arrestees?
the left wants the liberation of all people.
liberals only want liberation so long as it doesn’t interfere with profitability.
