I would agree if he had a real weapon then he should pay the price.

But what happened to insurrection, must never have happened.

They could not even charge the guy with a weapon with insurrection.

The legal department can't find evidence to charge anyone, must not be true.

Five felony charges and 7 years. And he's a real piece of work, somebody I'm sure you TrummpeRINO frog boys are proud of:

 

Far-right militiaman from Texas sentenced to 7 years for Capitol riot

 

After the siege, Reffitt warned his kids he’d shoot them if they turned him in, prosecutors alleged. Reffitt’s son testified at trial that his father threatened to kill him if he reported his crimes to the FBI.
