A California man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, the second-longest sentence yet in hundreds of prosecutions of riot participants.

David Nicholas Dempsey pleaded guilty in January to two counts of assaulting police officers with a dangerous weapon, landing him a sentence only surpassed by Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio's 22-year sentence, according to a report from the Guardian.

Prosecutors accused Dempsey of being one of the most violent members of the mob that stormed the Capitol in protest of Congress certifying the 2020 election for President Biden, detailing how the California native stomped the heads of police officers, struck officers with makeshift weapons, including a metal crutch, poles, pepper spray, and broken pieces of furniture.

YEARS.

Someday Americans will learn that only illegal aliens are permitted to assault police officers.

How often do leftists who assault police officers get 20-year sentences? How often do they get 10-year sentences? I also wonder what led up to his assaulting the police. Did they start beating him first? Did he see them beating up women and try to intervene? Or was he truly the instigator?

Did they ever do anything to the person that killed that woman?

Not true. They can also be leftist non-White lawyers.

Yes they did something, the guy who shot to death the unarmed female protestor was given a promotion and raise.

There were two women killed: Ashli Babbitt, killed by Capitol Police Michael Byrd; and Rosanne Boyland, killed by D.C. Police Lila Morris. Neither case was prosecuted.

If you have priors and plead guilty, they will hand you 20 years as if they are handing out Halloween candy.

It took almost 4 years to bring him to trial? Is there a political reason to prolong this?

‘It took almost 4 years to bring him to trial? Is there a political reason to prolong this?’

Being that he pled guilty, it almost certainly means he waived his right to a speedy trial.

The left murdered police officers in 2020.

Zero prosecutions.

Every judge and prosecutor should be jailed.

If he is actually guilty of the violence they said then I don’t have any problems with that
