A former West Virginia lawmaker who livestreamed himself on Facebook storming the U.S. Capitol and cheering on what he described as a "revolution" was sentenced Wednesday to three months in prison.

Derrick Evans, 37, who pleaded guilty to a felony civil disorder charge, told the judge that he regrets his actions every day and is a "good person who unfortunately was caught up in a moment."

Apology or not, he should not have entered the building. Only two types of people went inside.

Nancy’s nazis will be scorched in the history books, but these people were carried into the trouble by their own feet.

I guess this was the same as “storming the beaches at Normandy in June, 1944”??????

the Jan. 6, 2021, riot that halted the certification of President Joe Biden's victory and left more than 100 police officers injured

I like that the cee BS turd who wrote this garbage didn't have the sense or decency to put his/her name on the writing! Mr cee-bs please provide a list of the 100 officers who were injured along with what their injuries were. I hesitate to say that you are a lying sack of cee-bs but, as it turns out, you are a lying sack of cee-bs.....

Three months? Since he’s already spent 16 months in jail awaiting his show trial did that mean they owe him 13 months back?

No, many naive people went inside. Innocents who went through a door opened by staff who beckoned them inside, believing that an open door and a welcome by staff meant they weren’t trying to entrap.

I don’t know that they mean the same thing. I misspoke before; my wife is “storming” the grocery store; I am going to “storm” the swimming pool. These days “storm” seems to mean “peacefully enter.” It’s hard to tell.

“Storming” the capitol. I missed the part where they put up ladders and had hot oil poured on them.

The ultimate message from the Deep State.

The capital and D.C. ARE OURS.

Don’t you dare cross the moat (Potomac) or cross into our D.C. or we will ruin you.

WE RULE from within the District; you stay out and obey our every demand.

Gee, grovel much?

Screw these corrupt DC judges for ascribing some nefarious intent to people righteously indignant over a stolen election!

It is apparent they expect to impose struggle sessions on those who were merely exercising their freedom of speech in an area where a trap was sprung by Pelosi and the Capitol police.

Prove me wrong?

All of this “storming” is exhausting.

You are obviously a racist from stormfront. < / sarcasm>

Any legitimate examination of the election would show that it was stolen. The dems knowing this, had to deal harshly with anyone questioning their installation of the senile half-wit to deter anyone from even questioning the outcome. Otherwise they would be standing trial for TREASON!

Note to dems - There is no statute of limitations on TREASON!

They stole an election. Nobody is guilty of anything until they FIX THAT!

The correct response to a stolen election *IS* revolution.
