An Associated Press review of court documents in more than 300 federal
cases stemming from the protests sparked by George Floyd’s death last year shows that dozens of people charged have been convicted of serious crimes
and sent to prison.
The AP found that more than 120 defendants across the United States have pleaded guilty or were convicted at trial of federal crimes including rioting, arson and conspiracy. More than 70 defendants who’ve been sentenced so far have gotten an average of about 27 months behind bars. At least 10 received prison terms of five years or more.

President Joe Biden’s Justice Department has continued the vast majority of the racial injustice protest cases brought across the U.S. under Trump and has often pushed for lengthy prison time for people convicted of serious crimes. Since Biden took office in January, federal prosecutors have
brought some new cases stemming from last year’s protests.
[…]
Just this month [article is from August 2021] a man was sentenced to four years behind bars and ordered to pay what his attorney said is likely to exceed $1.5 million in restitution after pleading guilty to inciting a riot last spring in Champaign, Illinois.
[…]
In another case this month, an Illinois man was sentenced to nearly nine years behind bars for lighting a Minneapolis cellphone store on fire in
June 2020. A Charleston, South Carolina, man who livestreamed himself
looting a store downtown was sentenced to two years in prison.
In the Capitol riot, dozens of defendants have been charged only with misdemeanors, and a standard plea deal has allowed many to plead guilty to
a single count of demonstrating in the Capitol.
An Indiana woman who admitted illegally entering the Capitol but didn’t participate in any violence or destruction avoided jail time, and two other misdemeanor defendants got one and two months of home confinement. Two
other people who were locked up pretrial were released after pleading
guilty to misdemeanors and serving the maximum six-month jail sentence.
[…]
in Utah this month, a federal judge sentenced 25-year-old Lateesha Richards to nearly two years in prison for tossing a pair of basketball shorts onto
an overturned, burning patrol car and hurling a baseball bat toward police officers during a May 2020 protest in Salt Lake City. There’s no evidence that the bat struck anybody.

in Utah this month, a federal judge sentenced 25-year-old Lateesha RichardsThe last example I cited is a direct counter to hotair.com’s claim that no one has been prosecutor damaging a patrol car. Here’s another from the same
to nearly two years in prison for tossing a pair of basketball shorts onto an overturned, burning patrol car and hurling a baseball bat toward police officers during a May 2020 protest in Salt Lake City. There’s no evidence
that the bat struck anybody.
article:
On the same day in May, Kelsey Donnel Jackson traveled to downtown Charleston, South Carolina, with a cousin to join a protest over Floyd’s killing. Hours later, as other protesters began flipping tables and
taunting police officers, Jackson lighted a shirt on fire and tossed it
onto the trunk of a vandalized police car.
Jackson also vandalized businesses and public property, assaulted two
people and streamed a video of himself on Facebook Live in which he held a handgun and made threatening statements about police, according to prosecutors.
He was sentenced this summer to two years in prison after pleading guilty
to maliciously damaging a police vehicle with fire.

The intelligence services along with Democrats attempted to frame, and remove,,

Unlike the BLM demonstrators EVERYONE
who participated in the sacking of the Capitol committed a federal crime.
What, trespassing? How many trespassing and failure to disperse charges
were leveled for BLM rioters? Hint: you can't find cases. Thousands of
cases were dropped in dozens of cities.
There were a lot more than 600 participants in that riot so a lot of people >> have skated on that too.
It isn't just federal crimes that count. Unless state and local authorities don't
charge, in which case the federal government can prosecute.
The rioters in the BLM riots were generally treated with kid gloves and many, many, many people committing far worse crimes such as looting were let go.
Another factor is that the Capitol riot was one event on one day in one
place and the cases are all in the jurisdiction of one court, making them
easy to track and count. By contrast BLM riots were all over the place in
different times with different courts having jurisdiction so it’s more
diffuse to track. As the AP showed when they went to the trouble to
research it there were plenty of serious cases brought that resulted in
serious prison time all over the country, while many Capitol rioters got

That's because there were no cases of looting, arson, attempted murder with vehicle, etc. at the Capitol. There were many, many serious crimes committed at the BLM riots and very few at the Capitol.
You just don’t want to know that because you prefer to wallow in a wingnut >> victimization fantasy that simply isn’t true.
If 70% of people were charged for a certain type of offense in one case and 0% in another, you're claiming that's "quibbling over numbers". The fact that they charged BLM rioters for the much more serious crimes they committed is supposed to make up for that. I don't think anyone would quibble over charging Capitol rioters for offenses like that.
Fact -- they came down with jackboots on people whose great crime was trespassing and failure to disperse,
"I just walked in the street. That window must have just broken itself."
If they broke curfew or disobeyed orders to disperse they certainly
did. Thousands of people were arrested or ticketed for that and
almost zero were prosecuted.

Plenty of Capitol rioters got wrist slaps, so much so that even some judges are questioning whether the charges are too light. You just choose not to learn about them because it would break your wingnut victim complex. Or maybe there’s an honest explanation for your ignorance here, like they did the easy light ones in 2021 and the ones happening now are the ringleaders who got more serious charges.

The individuals, who entered the building on two separate occasions, were invited by Congressional staffers to enter the building in each instance
and were never asked to leave by the staffers who invited them, though, members of the group had been told at various points by the U.S. Capitol Police that they were supposed to have an escort," the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia said in a statement.
We do not believe it is probable that the Office would be able to obtain
and sustain convictions on these charges," the office said, noting that the production crew's "escort chose to leave them unattended."

Let's see -- one incident at the Capitol causing a couple million
dollars in damage has resulted in 600 cases. Six hundred
incidents causing billions of dollars of damage has resulted in --
300 cases? Actually, there were lots of people arrested but very
few received more than misdemeanor charges and almost none were
held without bail.
I know that causing members of Congress to wet the bed is a heinous
crime, but should it result in a charge rate that much greater?
On top of all that, those BLM protests have caused the deaths of
many, many people more than the 19 that actually died in the riots,
as civil order has broken down as a result. The economic damage also
is much greater than the listed amount, as hundreds or thousands

That's what assault is. I doesn't have to result in battery. And when you

false. The AP showed prosecutions and stiff sentences handed out.
And showed thousands of cases dropped without charges.
j I know you guys think everyone who participated in a march is a
rioter so you won’t be satisfied with fewer than 10s of thousands

Unlike the BLM demonstrators EVERYONE
who participated in the sacking of the Capitol committed a federal crime.
What, trespassing? How many trespassing and failure to disperse charges were leveled for BLM rioters? Hint: you can't find cases. Thousands of cases were dropped in dozens of cities.
There were a lot more than 600 participants in that riot so a lot of people
have skated on that too.
It isn't just federal crimes that count. Unless state and local authorities don't
charge, in which case the federal government can prosecute.
The rioters in the BLM riots were generally treated with kid gloves and many,
many, many people committing far worse crimes such as looting were let go.
Another factor is that the Capitol riot was one event on one day in one >> place and the cases are all in the jurisdiction of one court, making them >> easy to track and count.

That's because there were no cases of looting, arson, attempted murder with
vehicle, etc. at the Capitol. There were many, many serious crimes committed
at the BLM riots and very few at the Capitol.
You just don’t want to know that because you prefer to wallow in a wingnut
victimization fantasy that simply isn’t true.
If 70% of people were charged for a certain type of offense in one case and
0% in another, you're claiming that's "quibbling over numbers". The fact that

You're describing one entrance, not all entrances.
Is this the falsehood you’ve chosen to hold on to, to allow yourself to not admit to yourself what happened on Jan 6? Yes I’m describing one entrance because that’s one guy’s case. Remember this thread was started by complaining that the authorities were too harsh on the Capitol rioters.
Given the description above were they too harsh on this guy?
Also here’s a more widespread description of multiple entrances:
…about 140 police officers were assaulted while trying to stop the mob from breaching the Capitol. There were hours-long battles between police and rioters near some entrances. CNN obtained footage from police body-worn cameras showing how dozens of officers engaged in hand-to-hand combat with rioters in a desperate effort to keep them out of the building.
There are plenty of instances where rioters waltzed into the Capitol
without a fight, but only after they had stormed past barricades and, in
some cases, even stepped through broken windows. In some areas, police were so outnumbered by the mob that they retreated, stood aside or tried to politely engage with rioters to de-escalate the situation rather than fighting or making arrests, but that is clearly not the same as welcoming rioters into the building.
..,,end quote…
So after being overwhelmed and assaulted at multiple entrances, with many suffering injuries, and their perimeter breaking down, some police didn’t actively continue to contest people’s entry.
That doesn’t constitute inviting them in. You know better.
