No worries. Trump will pardon him the first day.

Three years in prison for menacing a black police officer with a confederate flag.

Meanwhile, Antifa and BLM get nothing for far worse.

Did he actually use it as a weapon or just display it? Because I think details are important when sentencing someone to jail.

The judge stated he was sentencing him because he was “an embarrassment to the nation”. I had no idea embarrassment was a criminal offense. If it is, Joe Biden and everyone at the FBI should be serving 40 to life.

Sounds like a provocateur.

I have seen a lot of light sentences passed out to totally worthless criminals for serious harm done, including many who just went home with time served or had a technicality problem causing a dropped charge.

This is simply a form of judicial vigilantism.* Judge’s personal opinion and bias ruled. The flag’s “menace” did not take away a life or cause a trauma psychologically as when are women are surrounded, beaten and raped by “teens” who are let go on racial privilege.

*I hate to sully the sacred name of vigilantism here after honoring it.

“Bringing a Confederate flag into one of our nation’s most sacred halls was outrageous,”

Americans don't belong to your state-worshipping religion.

I don’t have any sympathy for the morons or agents provocateurs who bring confederate flags to anything but a historical reenactment. If they really did support Trump, they would know it damages the cause... it is like putting a turd in the punch bowl and expecting everyone to enjoy the party.

Sacred? So the halls of Congress are now Holy Ground? That’s a tough sell considering how many POS are walking about in its halls every day.

The prosecutors claim he and his son attended the rally... yet he was the 12th rioted to get in. Must have walked really fast, or didn’t stay at the rally to the end.

Reports in January 2021 just say he was wanted for walking around with the battle flag, not that he “menaced” anyone with it. I suspect they just made that up.

He threatened him with a pole, not a cloth.

Waving a flag around is a 1st amendment right. No matter what flag.

Menacing is mostly subjective unless there was was some kind of assault.

I don’t do drugs. How the hell do you “menace” an “officer” with a Rebel flag? It’s sounds as though the “judge” was menaced also and now needs to see a shrink. He said he can’t believe someone would take a Rebel flag in that sacred outhouse known as the House on The Hill.

Yep, a symbol of America's fierce independent attitude is a slap in the face to this judge.
