It's about time, none of these insurrectionist should never have access to firearms again, being convicted felons?!! It's still hard to believe these pieces of human waste attack our capitol, trying to overturn a fair and free election?!!

The Justice Department will seek the longest prison sentence in any U.S. Capitol riot case next week, when it argues at the sentencing of former New York City police officer and U.S. Marine Thomas Webster.

Webster, who once served on the protective detail of former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, was convicted in a Washington, D.C., federal court in May on charges of assaulting law enforcement.

In a new court filing ahead of Thursday's sentencing hearing, the Justice Department seeks a sentence of 210 months in prison for Webster — more than 17 years. The sentence is nearly the double the longest prison terms handed down in any Capitol riot case so far.

Prosecutors argue Webster "spearheaded" a breach against the police line on Jan. 6, 2021, and was responsible for "disgracing a democracy that he once fought honorably to protect and serve."
