Alford is one of the 75 January 6 defendants who joined The Gateway Pundit in our official request to RINO Speaker McCarthy last year for the government’s January 6 footage.
Despite walking into the Capitol for just 13 minutes on January 6, where "he mostly stood to the side and observed" and "filmed protestors chanting," then leaving, according to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Alford was given the maximum sentence for four crimes, including Remaining in a restricted building, Disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building, Disorderly or disruptive conduct in the Capitol Building and parading, and Demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol Building. The Court also ruled that "trespassers in the Capitol during the riot did not need to be acting 'disorderly' or 'disruptive' to be found guilty of disorderly conduct, because such definitions 'are nebulous but time has given them concrete contours in two ways important here,'” per Frontline News.

That is EXACTLY what the neo cons claim!
The gas station known as Russia is a SUPERPOWER.
2 1/2 years in a war that was supposed to be over in 4-6 weeks.
Both sides are equally comedic at times beyond comprehension.
May she rest in peace. Ashli Babbitt of blessed memory.
Unarmed and murdered by a killer who went on TV panel shows to brag about himself. U.S. Capitol Police officer Lieutenant Michael Byrd. The U.S. Capitol Police Department said that it would not discipline him following an internal investigation of the shooting. He had said shooting was the last resort.
I agree!!!!! this has been the blackest mark on America historically.
A free country? NOT at ALL..........
Some members of the public, are aware that the Capitol would have security and security procedures.
Few members of the public, are aware that the Capitol and its surrounding land, is a RESTRICTED AREA.
Same for the U.S. Supreme Court’s domain.
Same for the White House domain.
Feeble, runaway and too late. All three parts of your statement are dead nuts on correct. Likewise is the assessment of the sheeple.
That would be struck down as unconstitutional by the SCOTUS.
I propose we build the Ashli Babbitt Memorial Correctional Facility, a new supermax prison dedicated to specifically house corrupt political officials and communist seditionists.
Let them have to rest their eyes on the woman they martyred every day as they rot in jail.
Ping
Kind of a disrespectful
statement.
ASHLI BABBITTS KILLER, MICHAEL BYRD MUST BE SENT TO PRISON....HE MURDERED HER IN COLD BLOOD!
How many years in a DC jail did the dopes trying to block the Kavinaugh confirmation get?
"Members of the group ADAPT, which organizes disability rights activists, were protesting against the American Health Care Act currently being debated in Congress and proposed cuts to Medicaid."
"Fifty-four arrests were made in the Rotunda, 41 of which were females and 13 were males. They were charged under D.C. Code § 22-1307, Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding, according to Capitol Police."
Senate protesters chant ‘kill the bill,’ interrupt motion to proceed - - 07/25/2017
"Thirty-one protesters chanting in the Senate gallery Tuesday afternoon [07/25/2017] were charged with disruption of Congress after interrupting Senate Republicans' successful motion to proceed to debate on their health care efforts, according to a Capitol Police statement."
"Meanwhile, hundreds more protesters from ADAPT, a national disability-rights organization, gathered in the main atrium and upper floors of the Senate’s Hart office building chanting that they'd 'rather go to jail than die without Medicaid.' Sixty-four protesters there were arrested and charged with [D.C. Code § 22-1307] 'crowding, obstructing, or incommoding,' according to the Capitol Police statement."
Demonstrators at U.S. Capitol protest Kavanaugh confirmation - 10/06/2018
"Chanting 'We believe survivors!' 'Vote them out!' and 'Shame, shame, shame!' hundreds of demonstrators converged on the Capitol early in the afternoon, where they mixed with tourists and onlookers on the Capitol’s East Front plaza."
"The crowd grew and a large group of protesters marched up the Rotunda steps on the East Front of the Capitol. There, 150 protesters were arrested and charged with [D.C. Code § 22-1307] 'crowding, obstructing, or incommoding,' according to a statement from the U.S. Capitol Police."
"Winnie Wong, senior adviser to the Women's March, one of several liberal groups that have organized opposition to Kavanaugh, said the protest was the first of several “coordinated disruptions” planned for the day."
"The group, she said, offered training in nonviolent protest tactics to as many as 1,300 activists. Many of them, she said, fanned out across the Capitol complex, with some seated in the Senate gallery Saturday afternoon. 'There are a number of friendly senators who have provided passes to us,' she said."
"'It's a clear message we are organized and we are not backing down,' Wong said."

I do not know the results of the court cases; nor, where to find that info.

I'm betting that the leftists were neither fined, nor sentenced, or if they were, it was a couple of weekends of community service.
The Democrat version, is apparent from the federal charges of, basically, “Capitol Breach” (and then some):
https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/capitol-breach-cases?page=0
But photos and video show several instances of protesters being allowed entry, and also, some being guided around the Capitol interior.

In contrast
Sounds like the leftists show up to protest, well-prepared, including carrying cash for bail and medications, plus having permits.
On January 6, 2021, there was obviously NO INSURRECTION, but instead, a poorly configured and poorly planned protest by pro-Trump people, all of whom, should have possessed self-discipline - despite the presence of government and left-wing-nut provocateurs”
Ray Epps was a major figure in MISLEADING people to believe that they could - without permits - enter the Capitol *and then* remain, in addition to adventuring about the interior . . . without permits.

Decades ago, I visited (alone) the Capitol and on the main floor, there some some visitor’s guide who told me that I should get a permit from one of my state’s Senators. Did that, and no problems.

I am expecting to read about this poor bastard “hanging himself” while the security camera is offline.
There is no justice in the USA anymore.
Kind of not...as I have complete respect for Ashley..and what I said was to make the point that the leftards in control can not fix this.
They took a life that was not in self defense.
Not that they want to fix it.
Love it.
Opening today is the world's largest correctional facility. Already overloaded and with two extra wings to be built.
Why? They’re holding J6ers in Ukraine?
Or you got Zelensky in your brain?
