A Texas man who joined the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6. was sentenced Monday to 45 days behind bars even though prosecutors weren't seeking jail time, after the judge blasted comparisons between the riot that day and the Black Lives Matter protests over racial injustice.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan called it a false equivalence “to compare the actions of people protesting, mostly peacefully, for civil rights” to the mob that "was trying to overthrow the government." She said doing so “ignores the very real danger that the Jan. 6 riots pose to the foundation of our democracy."
The judge's remarks in the case against Matthew Mazzocco of San Antonio came days after another judge in Washington's federal court suggested that the Justice Department was being too hard on the Jan. 6 defendants when compared to the people arrested during the protests after George Floyd's murder.
Judge Trevor McFadden, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, questioned Friday why federal prosecutors had not brought more cases against those who had taken part in the 2020 summertime protests and said the Justice Department “would have more credibility if it was even-handed in its concern about riots and mobs in this city.” He sentenced Danielle Doyle of Oklahoma to probation even though prosecutors had recommended two months of home confinement.
Chutkan, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, said she “flatly” disagreed with the suggestion raised by “some people” that the Jan. 6 defendants were being treated unfairly. In fact, she said she believes those who joined the pro-Trump mob were being treated more leniently than many other defendants.

Obama judge showing MAGA who’s boss. Over the top political crap. Sympathy for the BLM/Antifa mob. She should be in a cell.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan blasted comparisons between Jan. 6 and the Black Lives Matter protests over racial injustice.
Of course she did.
We have a two tier JUST US system, no use complaining about it. The only thing we can do is try and get our election systems back under control. The Justice Department is completely corrupt. I am not feeling good about it, but that is my plan. These judges that Obama appointed are almost uniformly biased commies. Their minds have been poisoned.

“U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan called it a false equivalence “to compare the actions of people protesting, mostly peacefully, for civil rights” to the mob that “was trying to overthrow the government.”
The judge needs to be thrown off the case for basis. It is stupid to think and unarmed crown could overthrow the government.
She’s a total piece of garbage.
Ah yes, the Haitian invader “judge” who came to our country to demand that we bow to her and accord her special preferences because...the French enslaved her ancestors 230 years ago.
Yep. Only slavery was worse...
Tanya Sue Chutkan (born July 5, 1962) is a Jamaican-born American District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
Her husband Peter Krauthamer, a judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, was nominated by President Barack Obama on July 11, 2011, and sworn in on April 20, 2012
In summer 2017 Chutkan presided over the Imran Awan and Hina Alvi fraud case.
On March 7, 2019, Chutkan ruled that U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos illegally delayed the implementation of the “Equity in IDEA” regulations. These regulations updated how states calculate racial disparities in the identification of children as being eligible for special education, the placement of children in restrictive classroom settings, and the use exclusionary discipline. Chutkan also ruled that the U.S. Department of Education violated the law concerning the spread of regulations by neglecting to provide a “reasoned explanation” for the delay, and failing to account for the costs that child, parents, and society would bear.
Racist judge
If barak had a daughter .....
The bitch is no good.
No looting or burning on January 6.
Same can’t be said of the Burning Looting Mobs “mostly peaceful protests”.
“ our democracy”
Overthrow the Government!!!
No evidence of that.
What was plan? Have a little riot and dissolve the government?
Who was the planner. Again, no evidence.
Just another Dem-MSM and, apparently, court created crisis.
Corrupt, crooked, political hack judges like this one give the 0.5% of decent judges a bad name.
When only SSS will get the job done...
