WASHINGTON (AP) — A Maryland man affiliated with the far-right Proud Boys extremist group was sentenced on Monday to more than four years in prison for storming the U.S. Capitol, where he encountered Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer as his armed security detail led the New York Democrat to safety.
Joshua Pruitt, 40, was one of the few Capitol rioters to come face-to-face with a member of Congress during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack by a mob of Donald Trump supporters, according to federal prosecutors.
“One look at Pruitt, and the leader of Senator Schumer’s security detail immediately saw the threat and hustled the 70-year-old senator down a hallway, having to change their evacuation route on a dime,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexis Loeb wrote in a court filing ahead of Monday's hearing.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly sentenced Pruitt to four years and seven months of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release, according to Bill Miller, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia.

These Days
"Aren't Antifa and BLM far-left extremist groups?"
"joining a mob pursuing police officers and smashing a sign"
The fake drama surrounding January 6th.
Needless to say the Senators many of them need forty year prison sentences if this guy got over four years for “encountering” a US Senator.
From that NBC link I included in the post.
I haven’t seen any footage of anyone pursuing officers.
And vandalizing a sign isn’t worth 4 years.
But he’s a member of the proud boys and he has a big beard. that has to be punished.
I wasn’t referring to your post.. I meant where did they drag up the BS stuff.. :P
The worst thing about it is that they can and WILL do worse things.
(I don’t know, maybe there were people chasing down police.. but I haven’t seen it...)
