4+ years seems fair to me? You gotta keep in mind “attending a riot that couldve overthrown democracy” is not a specific crime. Like, it just isn’t. We’ve never had to charge people in this situation before.
Thus, he wasn’t charged with Jan 6 as a concept. He beat the shit out of a cop. I’d want a BLM rioter who beat the shit out of a cop to not do life, so why should this guy? I’ve hit cops - should I be imprisoned for life?
Frankly, I disagree that hitting a cop is especially more of a problem than hitting any other person. Laws like that are we we have cops doing the shit they do.
Also, no one should be in prison for any nonviolent drug offense full stop. Totally agreed there.
