First victim of political prosecution of 1/6 receives sentence

[AProudLefty]

Excuse for what lol?

Holding a sign and taking selfies?

Yeah that's all they did.

[BidenPresident]

Nope, he’s an actual liberal and he makes me miss them.

He is now showing he is a right winger.

The 38-year-old pleaded guilty last month to one count of obstructing an official proceeding, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Federal prosecutors are asking the court to sentence him to 18 months in prison, a less harsh penalty, as he has no previous arrests.

His lawyers argue Hodgkins did not engage in violence or destruction, but prosecutors say he brought a first aid kit and came prepared for violence.

Violence towards who? Himself maybe?

Maybe if he brought a weapon it would be more clear that he came prepared for violence. This isn’t a good look and it will probably be brought up the next time Blinken goes to criticize China for their political persecution.

I am offended that the insurrectionists weren't all executed by lethal injection after an expeditious common trial.

The law, is the law, however, so we must let it all play out.

[Darth Omar]

Yeah that's all they did.

It’s all a lot of them did and it was all he did. Oh, but he had a first aid kit lol.

It’s a joke. Especially in light of how left wing radicals are treated with kid gloves.

Obstructing an official proceeding is a felony.

I think this one is what he broke:

§1503. Influencing or injuring officer or juror generally
(a) Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, endeavors to influence, intimidate, or impede any grand or petit juror, or officer in or of any court of the United States, or officer who may be serving at any examination or other proceeding before any United States magistrate judge or other committing magistrate, in the discharge of his duty, or injures any such grand or petit juror in his person or property on account of any verdict or indictment assented to by him, or on account of his being or having been such juror, or injures any such officer, magistrate judge, or other committing magistrate in his person or property on account of the performance of his official duties, or corruptly or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b). If the offense under this section occurs in connection with a trial of a criminal case, and the act in violation of this section involves the threat of physical force or physical force, the maximum term of imprisonment which may be imposed for the offense shall be the higher of that otherwise provided by law or the maximum term that could have been imposed for any offense charged in such case.

(b) The punishment for an offense under this section is—

(1) in the case of a killing, the punishment provided in sections 1111 and 1112;

(2) in the case of an attempted killing, or a case in which the offense was committed against a petit juror and in which a class A or B felony was charged, imprisonment for not more than 20 years, a fine under this title, or both; and

(3) in any other case, imprisonment for not more than 10 years, a fine under this title, or both.

What is the first aid kit for?

Let’s make a deal. I’ll allow that an unarmed mob rioting in the Capitol is an ‘insurrection’ if an unarmed flood of foreign immigrants coming across our southern border qualifies as ‘an invasion’.

Deal? As a matter of fact from now on that’s what it is—an invasion. Keep your ‘insurrection’. I’m good with it.

[Darth Omar]

What is the first aid kit for?

Whenever I carry one it’s for cuts or whatever may happen to me when I’m camping or whatever. What do you use them for?

[Jade Dragon]

Can people now blame what they did on being a victim? It's not that I'm fat I'm a donut victim. I didn't rob a bank I'm just the victim of an empty bank account.

LOL. Do you carry it everywhere you go? I bet people think you're a doctor.

If foreign immigration is an invasion, then, there still remains the question of whether or not it's a welcome invasion.
If they all register as Democrats, how is it not a welcome invasion?

[BidenPresident]

He’ll do 180 days in jail, pay a fine and be on probation for a couple of years. My prediction

Permanently on an FBI watch list.

I keep some skin glue around but that counts.
