we've got ourselves another sovereign citizen, and it appears as if things are going just as well for this one as it has for every other sovereign citizen who is not subject to the law.
Capitol Rioter Who Assaulted Cops in Front of Teen Son Gets Harsh Prison Sentence
Kyle Young, the 38-year-old Iowan who admitted to assaulting police during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as his 16-year-old son tagged along, was sentenced to seven years in federal prison on Tuesday—one of the harshest sentences to stem from the riot. Young admitted to using a strobe light to disorient police, before throwing a large audio speaker at a line of officers. An investigation also revealed that Young, a HVAC worker, handed a stun gun to a fellow rioter who then shocked Officer Mike Fanone with it. Fanone said during Young’s sentencing that the assault, which preceded a heart attack, cost him his career. “What I hope you do with that time [in jail] is I hope you suffer,” he told Young. The sentence matched what federal prosecutors had requested as they argued the “barbaric” assault took place in a violent portion of the insurrection. Young’s defense argued that he was was he “injected” with lies about the 2020 election and was not in a proper state of mind.

Interesting tactic, have your lawyer criticise the judge during sentencing..‘Are you serious?’: Trump Jan. 6 trial judge shreds rioter who stormed Capitol with mom, rejects ‘hostage’ label at sentencing
Trump Jan. 6 judge shreds rioter who stormed Capitol with mom, rejects 'hostage' label
At a sentencing hearing, Judge Tanya Chutkan rejected the idea that Jan. 6 defendants are "hostages" as Donald Trump and the accused and convicted alike, claim.lawandcrime.com
this domestic terrorist should have received more than 9 months in prison.

I think he should have argued for leniency on the fact the only one injured at all in the clash is the perp--and he got put in the hospital with a head injury, among others. Now, I wouldn't argue he didn't deserve it, but with the difference in outcomes between him and the officers it seems to me he was punished to a certain degree right then and there.A Capitol rioter was sentenced to 5 months in prison after cross-checking police with a lacrosse stick on January 6
Carrying a Confederate battle flag attached to a lacrosse stick, David Blair arrived on the Capitol grounds late in the afternoon of January 6, 2021, setting him apart from hundreds of other charged rioters who reached the building earlier in the day.
- A judge said David Blair came to the Capitol "primed for a fight" on January 6, 2021.
- Prosecutors accused Blair of shoving police with a lacrosse stick affixed with the Confederate flag.
- Blair pleaded guilty in March to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from the Capitol siege.
As a federal judge put it Wednesday, "Yours is a little different case." But Blair came "primed for a fight," Judge Christopher Cooper said.
Blair was sentenced Wednesday to 5 months in prison on a disorderly conduct charge stemming from January 6, when he cross-checked a police officer with his lacrosse stick as law enforcement attempted to clear a lawn outside the Capitol.
Handing down the sentence, Cooper credited Blair for almost immediately expressing remorse for his actions and later pleading guilty to the disorderly conduct charge. But, rejecting Blair's request for a non-prison sentence, Cooper said he "squared off" and "mouthed off" at police officers attempting to protect the Capitol and "cross-checked a guy."
Federal prosecutors recommended that Blair receive an 8-month prison sentence, arguing that he not only pushed an officer with his lacrosse stick but encouraged other rioters to refuse law enforcement's orders to leave the lawn outside the Capitol. During Wednesday's sentencing hearing, assistant US attorney Michael Liebman said the Confederate flag — combined with a skull-themed gator Blair wore over his face — made clear that he was "looking for a fight" on January 6.
In his backpack, Liebman said, was a 4-inch serrated knife and a roll of duct tape. And during a search of his home, the FBI found an AR-15 rifle that Blair had purchased legally in May 2020.
Liebman played police body-cam footage showing an officer contact Blair with a baton as he encourages other rioters not to clear the lawn, yelling, "Quit backing up, quit being scared."
Blair then turned around and cross-checked the officer in the upper chest area, prompting officers to strike him with their batons, causing injuries to his head and body that required hospitalization.
Arguing for a lighter sentence, Blair's defense lawyer argued that Cooper should not consider the lacrosse stick a dangerous weapon. That contention drew an almost incredulous response from Cooper.
"You're telling me a lacrosse stick can't cause serious bodily injury?" the judge asked. "Somebody whacks you over the head with it, they can't seriously injure you?"
Still, the judge acknowledged that the police officer was not injured.
"It is clear to me a lacrosse stick is capable of causing serious bodily injury," Cooper said. "That said, it was not the most serious assault in the world."
Cooper ordered Blair to serve 18 months of probation following his prison sentence.

whats with these chuds and backpacks?Proud Boys group leader fucks around and finds out. Sentenced to over 5 years in prison just to own the libs.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A far-right extremist group leader was sentenced on Friday to more than five years in prison for repeatedly assaulting police officers with makeshift weapons during a mob’s attack on the U.S. Capitol over three years ago.
Scott Miller, who helped lead a Proud Boys chapter for Maryland and Washington, D.C., coordinated with other group members before they invaded the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to federal prosecutors. Miller, 33, attacked police seven different times with weapons, including a bottle, a stick and poles.
Notes found on Miller’s cellphone indicate that his white supremacist ideology and antisemitic views influenced his decision to storm the Capitol, a prosecutor wrote in a court filing. He expressed his intent to “fight” in order to protect “White America,” the filing says.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing disgraced former President Molestini Cheetolini's election interference case in Washington, said an attack like the Jan. 6 insurrection “can happen again” in the U.S.
“Extremism is alive and well in this country,” she said before sentencing Miller to five years and six months behind bars.
Miller apologized for assaulting police at the Capitol. He acknowledged that he embraced extremist ideologies before the Capitol riot, but told the judge that he is “reforming” himself.
“I am not a violent or hateful person despite some of the things you’ve seen,” he told Chutkan.
Investigators found Nazi paraphernalia and memes promoting racially motivated violence when they searched Miller’s Millersville, Maryland, home and his phone. A photo found on Miller’s phone shows him posing and smiling next to a news story describing the drowning of migrants, prosecutors said.
Authorities also found a shirt that Miller wore for Halloween to dress up as Derek Chauvin, the white Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, a Black man, in the summer of 2020. Miller posed for a photo wearing the costume while kneeling on the floor. Chauvin pressed a knee on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes.
Chutkan said the extent of Miller’s violent ideology and the racist, antisemitic material stored on his phone left her questioning whether Miller is genuinely remorseful or capable of such a rapid transformation.
“They don’t just arrive there by some random algorithm,” said the judge, who read aloud some of the most hateful messages.
Chutkan has been one of the toughest punishers of Jan. 6 defendants. Miller’s prison sentence is the longest that she has handed down so far in 45 cases, according to an Associated Press review of court records.
Prosecutors recommended a prison sentence of five years and 11 months for Miller, who was arrested in December 2022. He pleaded guilty in January to assaulting a police officer with a dangerous weapon.
“Miller’s participation in the riot – a riot that disrupted the peaceful transfer of power – was particularly egregious, given his multiple and repeated violent attacks on police officers and his coordination and planning with other members of the Proud Boys,” Justice Department prosecutor Kaitlin Klamann wrote.
In 2019, Miller was arrested on charges of disrupting a “Drag Queen Story Time” for children at a library in his Maryland hometown, The Baltimore Sun reported. Miller was accused of shouting at a performer and shoving a library board member who tried to intervene.
“While these charges were ultimately dropped, Miller’s actions on this occasion serve as further proof that Miller is willing to use violence to enforce his personal beliefs,” Klamann wrote.
In the days leading up to the Jan. 6 riot, Miller and other Proud Boys members discussed their plans for that day and the possibility of violence, prosecutors said. Miller arrived at the Capitol after the riot erupted, wearing gloves with plastic knuckles, ski goggles and a military-style backpack.
He joined the mob attacking police officers guarding a tunnel leading to an entrance on the Capitol’s Lower West Terrace, where some of the most brutal violence occurred. Picking up a pole, he charged at police and repeatedly struck an officer with it.
After throwing several objects at police, Miller picked up another pole and struck at least two officers several times. He also grabbed a shield from police officers and handed it to other rioters in the crowd outside the Capitol.
Miller is ashamed of his conduct on Jan. 6 and cut ties with the Proud Boys about a month after the riot, defense attorney Elizabeth Mullin said in a court filing.
“He disavows the group and the principles it stands for,” she wrote.
Mullin said there is no evidence that Miller planned to attack police.
“Regrettably, like so many others there that day, he became carried away by the frenzy of the crowd, which had been whipped into a fervor by a fraudy orange rapist and the other rally speakers,” she wrote.
