'I Want The Sentence To Hurt': Judge Imposes Largest Fine Yet on Capitol Riot Couple

On Friday, a federal judge imposed the largest fine yet in any Capitol riot case.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton sentenced husband and wife Thomas Vinson and Lori Vinson to five years of probation and 120 hours of community service for their participation in the January 6 insurrection.

The Kentucky couple was also ordered to pay $5,000 each, which Buzzfeed's Zoe Tillman noted is the largest fine so far.

"I know that's a lot, but I want the sentence to hurt," Walton said.

In July, the Vinsons pleaded guilty to charges of entering and remaining in a restricted building; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building; violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.

"I know that's a lot, but I want the sentence to hurt," Walton said.

Looks like blind and impartial justice to me. /sarc

"I know that's a lot, but I want the sentence to hurt,"

Sounds like grounds for appeal due to malicious prosecution to me.

Any actual lawyers want to chime in here?

Has he gone after any Antifa/BLM rioters who killed people and burned businesses to the ground?

Rhetorical question.

Those Trump supporters are rich, they aren’t going to miss this so we have to put it to the max. Maybe they won’t be able to donate to Trump’s 2024 campaign

Will she impose the same justice on the leftists that stormed a federal building and physically fought the police?

It’s no longer a restricted building. It’s now a high security fortress with all areas now “Use Of Deadly Force Authorized.”

Malicious prosecution is the commencement and maintenance of an action without probable cause. Has no relation to the severity of a criminal sentence

I’d like a second opinion. Any other lawyers want to chime in?

"I know that's a lot, but I want the sentence to hurt,"

$5,000 isn't even tweezing a nose hair level of pain compared to the months in solitary many of the accused are still suffering.

Walton, like his master Garland, is a child of Satan.

If any region on this planet deserves the Divine Wrath of Almighty God right now, it is the District of Corruption.

So sick of these vile creatures and their poisonous campaign of senseless destruction toward We The People.
