A Colorado man who helped other rioters drag a police officer into a mob storming the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Thursday to more than five years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack.
Jeffrey Sabol ripped a baton from an officer’s hands before pulling another officer into the crowd outside the Capitol, allowing other rioters to assault the officer with weapons.
Sabol, 54, told U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras that he knows he is “100%” guilty and would have apologized directly to the officers whom he attacked if they had attended the hearing.
“I accept whatever it is you hand me,” Sabol said. “I’ll be honest: I deserve it.”
The judge sentenced Sabol to five years and three months behind bars. He’ll get credit for the three years and two months that he has already spent in jail since his arrest.
Not to mention the fact of how different the experience in jail is, for these two cases.
Hell, the whole ordeal is…
The way the system treats you. Starting from the police taking you in, until you get to sit in a cell, you will know exactly how much the system values you as a human being.
The terrorist will feel like doing a very long detention in high school. Like, the grown ups are angry at you, but obviously don’t hate you. The guards may even congratulate him, when he’ll get out.
On the other hand, the weed guy is more likely to lose the last drop of faith he had in the system, if he ever gets out of prison again. A big if, nowadays…
It’s all in all pretty rotten
I’m typing this while in bed, but nevertheless i feel like the only logical thing, when you really think about it, would be to really fight the fucking system!
