In yet another act of miscarriage of justice, Army veteran Joe Biggs has been sentenced to 17 years in prison over his role in the events on January 6th.
From The Daily Caller: A federal judge set the sentence for Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs to 17 years in prison Thursday, according to multiple reports.
The 17 year sentence applied by District Judge Tim Kelly, a Trump appointee, is one year less than the longest handed down so far in a Jan. 6 case, according to multiple reports. Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was previously given an 18 year sentence for his involvement in the riot after prosecutors recomended 25 years.
The judge’s sentence is nearly half of the 33 year sentence sought by prosecutors.
During the hearing, Kelly said that Biggs’ destruction of the black metal fence was an act of terrorism, according to multiple reports.
Biggs, a U.S. army veteran, was found guilty of seditious conspiracy and multiple other charges in May. The Department of Justice (DOJ) said Biggs, along with Enrique Tarrio, Ethan Nordean and Zachary Rehl, was a member in the Proud Boys’ “Ministry of Self-Defense.”
