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.

I would be very interested to find out any instances of a black person beating on a cop and the length of their sentence.
I bet ya I’d be pissed about that sentence.
I agree kicking fucking shit out of a cop you should be given a metal not prison. And drug crimes are bullshit.
But trying to overthrow our democracy is a crime it’s called treason and should be treated as accordingly.
Treason is very specifically spelled out in the constitution. None of these people will be charged for treason. It’s a very high bar.
