A Georgia business owner who bragged that he “fed” a police officer to a mob of rioters storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced on Thursday to nearly five years in prison for his repeated attacks on law enforcement during the insurrection.
Jack Wade Whitton struck an officer with a metal crutch and dragged him — head first and face down — into the crowd on the Capitol’s Lower West Terrace. Whitton later boasted in a text message that he “fed him to the people.”
Roughly 20 minutes later, Whitton tried to pull a second officer into the crowd, prosecutors say. He also kicked at, threatened and threw a construction pylon at officers trying to hold off the mob of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters.
“You’re gonna die tonight!” he shouted at police after striking an officer’s riot shield.
Five years. Once again, not long enough.
Needs a zero after the five
And an exclamation mark after that second zero.
*or six months, election dependent.
“You’re gonna die tonight!” he shouted at police after striking an officer’s riot shield.
Just locker room talk, right? /s
Grabbed him by the riot shield.
“I tell you with confidence: I have changed,”
I tell you with confidence: he’s fucking lying
Yeah and it doesn’t fucking matter even if he isn’t lying. You’re going to prison for what you did then, not who you are now, asshole.
Same group of dick holes that love to put thin blue line flags everywhere
Wth, only five years for that? Minimum twenty, that was basically a murder attempt.
If you look closely at the body cam capture, you will see that the perpetrator is white.
That’s it? 5 years for attempting to over throw the government.
Yet there are people in prison for life because of marijuana. How absolutely fucking bonkers this is.
Can you imagine a person of color getting only 5 years for attempting to murder a cop while overtaking the government?
Get fucked
