Although the Black Lives Matter protesters have caused the American people millions due to their looting and rioting, the Democrats don’t seem remotely interested in holding them accountable for their crimes. But as for the people around the Capitol Hill riot, the Democrats have waged an all-out war on the protesters, pushing for mandatory sentencing, even claiming the protesters tried to start a Civil War and were nothing more than domestic terrorists. Leading the charge, federal prosecutors are pushing for the “QAnon Shaman”, Jacob Chansley, to spend four years in prison for his participation on January 6th. 

According to the 28-page sentencing memo presented by the prosecution, they are requesting that Chansley spend a staggering 51 months behind bars. That is the longest term allowed by the current guidelines. The prosecution also wanted $2,000 in restitution fees and three years of supervised release.

Claiming that Chansley is “the public face of the Capitol riot”, it should be noted that the shaman, who wore horns and was shirtless, did nothing more than parade around the Capitol that day. 

Still, the prosecution said, “The defendant was among the first 30 rioters to penetrate the U.S. Capitol building. The defendant then stalked the hallowed halls of the building, riling up other members of the mob with his screaming obscenities about our nation’s lawmakers, and flouting the ‘opportunity’ to rid our government of those he has long considered to be traitors.”

While the prosecution is seeking the max, the defense filed a 23-page memo of their own, asking for the sentencing to be viewed as time served. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves argued, “The government submits that such a sentence would be an appropriate one, which would serve to protect the community, punish the defendant for his criminal conduct, and deter others from committing similar offenses.”

The defense added, “He was not an organizer. He was not a planner. He was not violent. He was not destructive. He was not a thief. Defendant respectfully requests that the Court impose a sentence significantly below the range of sentencing recommended under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, recognizing the harshness of the conditions surrounding time served to date, and impose such sentence as permits Mr. Chansley to proceed hence with his pursuit of his mental and physical health prioritized.”

Pleading guilty on Sept. 3 to obstructing an official proceeding, which is a felony charge, Chansley’s sentencing hearing is set for Nov. 17.
