WASHINGTON (AP) — A one-time leader in the Proud Boys far-right extremist group was sentenced Friday to 18 years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, tying the record for the longest sentence in the attack.

Ethan Nordean was one of five members convicted of spearheading an attack on the U.S. Capitol to try to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden after the 2020 presidential election.

“He is the undisputed leader on the ground on Jan 6,” said prosecutor Jason McCullough.

The Seattle-area chapter president was one of two Proud Boys sentenced Friday. Dominic Pezzola was convicted of smashing a window at the U.S. Capitol in the building’s first breach on Jan. 6, 2021.

He defiantly raised a fist and declared “Trump won!” as he walked out of the courtroom after being sentenced to 10 years in prison, also among the longest sentences in the Jan. 6 attack.

Murderers in Demonrat jurisdictions don’t get that kind of sentence.

President Trump must free every January 6th political prisoner... and prosecute ALL of the real criminals behind the coup d’etat.

There was a time you could get banned from this website for predicting that the people who climbed the walls of the Capitol to try to overthrow the government and Constitution would go to prison. Now it’s just an ordinary post.

You know, Americans can sort out our own political issues. We really don’t need advice from Moscow. Thank you though.

Violates the 8th Amendment. It’s cruel and unusual punishment.

LOL!

Spoken like a true neoconned - anyone who strays from the All War All The Time Narrative is a Russkie or a Putin stooge.

Those of us conservatives who haven't been conned don't feel the need to funnel our tax dollars to The Ukraine, or lick the jackboots of the kangaroo courts in DC.

But you do you, and enjoy the taste of Mistress Beryl Howell's leather boots.
