Biggs is a former military service member who helped lead efforts by the Proud Boys to take over the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Rehl, also a former military service member, was a leader of the Philadelphia chapter of the Proud Boys.
Our military is a terrorist training camp.
Judge Timothy J. Kelly also sentenced Biggs to three years of supervised release and a ban on any interactions with organizations that advocate violence against the government.
In his sentencing of Rehl, Kelly said he, Biggs and others participated in "a national disgrace" that contributed to the ruin of America's tradition of a peaceful transfer of power.
US Judge
Timothy J. Kelly was appointed by P01135809.
The sentence is far below the 33 year sentence for Biggs and the 30 years for Rehl sought by prosecutors.
GoMerrickGo, but I'm okay with a combined 32 years.
... Prosecutors wanted to apply a "terrorism enhancement," which leads to longer prison terms.
Judge Kelly chose to apply that enhancement to one of Biggs' and Rehl's charges regarding their role in the destruction of a fence surrounding the U.S. Capitol building which, once gone, no longer kept the mob back from law enforcement protecting the building.
Good, convicted terrorists.
But Kelly said he believed Biggs and Rehl had no intention of killing anyone and had no motivation to incite mass casualties.
Probably true.
... Nordean's hearing is rescheduled also for Friday with Pezzola and Tarrio's for Tuesday, Sept. 5.
LOCK THEM UP!
... During his trial, Rehl painted himself as a family man. He has repeatedly denied assaulting officers, even as he was confronted with video of him spraying law enforcement officers with chemicals.
Unaccountable coward, typical Trumpette.
... When he addressed the court, Rehl was emotional throughout his speech.
Rehl said he lost military benefits and professional licenses he's worked for.
And he promised he was done with politics.
"I'm done with all of it," he said. "I'm done with peddling lies for other people that don't care about me." ...
Yep MAGA LIES. Bye-bye boys.
