Must have been one of those liberal "Obama" or maybe a "Bill Clinton" judge...
Oh wait

Reality catches up with MidEngineManiac's glibness—and his delusion of being constantly and personally victimized by the "left."[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 09-12-2023).]

You see, it isn't about "who".
The problem with the current state of our justice system that "who" is more important than "what".

There is nothing glib or personal about it, Rinse.
So common it's even been given it's own name.
"Cancel Culture". Ever heard of it ?

"Cancel Culture" got nothing to do with it.
This was a criminal trial in a federal court. The Cancel Culture whiners don't even have a "liberal" judge to kick to the curb. The judge was nominated by a Republican president named Donald Trump, who is like the patron saint of the anti-Cancel Culture movement... the "Cancel Cancel Culture" movement.
He can appeal his conviction and prison sentence.

Let's have some detail about the case!
It's tempting to cry "Cancel Culture" on the basis of some nebulously described news event. This small effort on my part can be likened to an astronomer's telescope, revealing the details of an object that is otherwise obscured by its great distance across the vast news "cosmos" from our local vantage point.

Skeletonized version of the report. Just two paragraphs.
Owen Shroyer is one of only a handful of Jan. 6 participants charged with a crime despite having neither entered the Capitol building nor been accused of committing violence or destruction on Capitol grounds. Prosecutors charged Shroyer because he had previously signed a deferred prosecution agreement after he interrupted a congressional hearing in 2019 and had agreed as part of that case not to utter “loud, threatening, or abusive language, or to engage in any disorderly or disruptive conduct, at any place upon the United States Capitol Grounds.” . . .

Full text of the report. But not that much longer than the skeletonized version of it.
WASHINGTON — A host of the far-right media outlet Infowars was sentenced Tuesday to 60 days in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Owen Shroyer is one of only a handful of Jan. 6 participants charged with a crime despite having neither entered the Capitol building nor been accused of committing violence or destruction on Capitol grounds. Prosecutors charged Shroyer because he had previously signed a deferred prosecution agreement after he interrupted a congressional hearing in 2019 and had agreed as part of that case not to utter “loud, threatening, or abusive language, or to engage in any disorderly or disruptive conduct, at any place upon the United States Capitol Grounds.”
About 1,100 defendants have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack in 2021, and more than 600 have been sentenced, more than 370 of them to periods of incarceration.
“Democrats are posing as communists, but we know what they really are: They’re just tyrants; they’re tyrants,” Shroyer said on a bullhorn as he led a crowd to the Capitol on Jan. 6. “And so today, on Jan. 6, we declare death to tyranny! Death to tyrants!”
The government sought 120 days of incarceration, saying that while Shroyer did not step foot inside the Capitol, "many of those who listened to him" did. Shroyer's defense team said the case had been "characterized by a cooperative spirit between the defense and the Government" and asked that he be spared prison time. When he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6, Shroyer "wore two hats: one was that of outraged citizen who believed that an election had been rigged, the other as full-time journalist and commentator who sought a front-row seat at an historic event," his defense team wrote.
At Tuesday's sentencing hearing, Shroyer told the court, “I was not a part of any larger plan for illegal activity or violence that day."
Shroyer was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, who last week sent Proud Boys founder Enrique Tarrio to federal prison for the longest term yet for a Jan. 6 defendant: 22 years.
CORRECTION (Sept. 12, 2023, 10:38 a.m.): A previous version of this article misstated when Shroyer interrupted a congressional hearing. It was in 2019, not 2020.Click to show[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 09-13-2023).]

Has nothing to do with Libs. the judge that gave him the sentence was a conservative Trump appointee.
Your addiction to playing the victim has overwhelmed your ability to think logically. You are incapable of processing simple facts. all you can do is squeal about being a victim of the left.

That lets the air out of MEM's trying to frame this as a political beatdown, or a cancel culture thing, that was instigated by "the libs."
