Federal prosecutors have asked that a former Marine and retired New York Police Department officer receive a 17-year sentence for his actions during the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 -- actions that included him assaulting another police officer with a Marine Corps flagpole he had brought along.
Thomas Webster, 56, was one of the first people to be charged for his role in the violence the day Congress was set to certify the results of the presidential election. He was arrested on six charges on Feb. 21, 2021. He was found guilty on all counts -- all but one were felonies -- on May 2, 2022.
. . . .
Confronted by police, Webster challenged Metropolitan Police Department Officer Noah Rathbun to a fight before breaking through the police barricade, tackling Rathbun to the ground and choking him.
. . . .
If the judge grants the request, which prosecutors noted was "at the low end" of the guidelines, Webster will receive the longest sentence handed down to a Capitol rioter to date.

Ive never heard of anyone getting more than 5, but rest assured he’ll get every bit of 17.
He should have killed somebody. He’d be back out on the street by now. These are Nazi tactics.
That’s a heck of a long sentence. This whole thing is such a crock.
But people are scared to protest it.
Cop killers get off with a slap on the wrist.
People are probably scared to comment on it.
The right assaults a cop with a flag and get 17 years. The far left could have shot and killed the same cop and the perp would be back out on the street right now. America! Home of the Double Standard “Justice” System. Just what Obammie, Holder and their boy, Merry Garland always dreamed about.
The left hates military patriots.
Of course they are. Especially when even the scumbag Republican representatives, whose job and DUTY it was to stop the certification, sat on their hands!
The full force and power of the United States government is a formidable opponent.
This from the same entity that asked Facebook to suppress Hunters laptop as disinformation.
The Communist Purge Continues To Grow Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...
No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...
The Aamerican people understand that the First Amendment calls for them to:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
How many BLM rioters saw ANY jail time for assaulting cops? How many were sentenced to a year in jail? Six months?
He is white so he is going to jail for a long time.
As a former fed LEO I was assaulted several time as were all my coworkers. The only times the perps were prosecuted was if the agent was seriously injured and hospitalized.
Otherwise nothing, you were expected to scrap and win. I can say that everyone who assaulted me received an appropriate amount of justice during the arrest process.
While BLM and Antifa cop KILLERS walk.
BLM
Killer cops get off with no punishment at all.
