A one-time leader in the Proud Boys far-right extremist group was sentenced Friday to 18 years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, tying the record for the longest sentence in the attack.
Ethan Nordean was one of five members convicted of spearheading an attack on the U.S. Capitol to try to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden after the 2020 presidential election.
“He is the undisputed leader on the ground on Jan 6,” said prosecutor Jason McCullough.
They planned to take over the Capitol, State Department, and Supreme Court buildings.
I hope everyday this dude and his friends are thankful he didn’t get sent to the firing squad.
ahem…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA GET FUCKED TRAITOR!
Well done young man, you tied the high score!
Prosecutors asked for a 27 year sentence. This was lenient.
Anything short of capitol punishment for treason seems lenient.
In many countries, the sentence would be the noose. Be thankful, chuds.
