January 6 ‘rioter’ who walked around the Capitol sentenced to 8 months in prison

A Florida man, Paul Allard Hodgkins, 38, who paraded in the Capitol during the riot without committing any violent acts or damaging any property was sentenced to eight months in prison today. One of the reasons he was given the sentence is because he carried rope, protective goggles, and latex gloves in a backpack on the bus to DC. According to the judge, that means he expected violence.

He was inside the building for roughly 22 minutes, entered the Senate chamber, hoisted a “Trump 2020” flag, took some selfies, and left. That is all he did, but the Biden regime is into political persecutions. They will soon have all the power of government in perpetuity. They are taking the country state-by-state with people coming in illegally, unvetted from 160 countries.

The judge also said he was giving Mr. Hodgkins an actual prison sentence because he “contributed to the collective threat to democracy.” That too is a bogus charge. This was not an insurrection and there was no threat to democracy.

The goal was to delay the certification briefly to investigate shady dealings in the election

The other problem the judge pointed to in order to beef up a nothing ‘crime’ was to say Hodgkins made it to the Senate chamber where he again walked around.

Mr. Hodgkins of Tampa, Florida, pleaded guilty to one count of obstructing an official proceeding. The charge was never meant for this purpose. It was distorted to fit the situation in DC on January 6.

He is going to prison for literally, walking around the Capitol. That’s all he did.

Meanwhile, Antifa and Black Lives Matter have burned down buildings, hurt police officers, beat and/or killed people, looted, smashed glass windows, and threatened protesters, but have their records expunged. Biden claims Antifa is just an idea, and Black Lives Matter, is lauded in blue cities. This is despite the fact that both groups are openly communist and anarchist groups that believe in violence to win.

Prosecutors actually wanted to put Mr. Hodgkins in prison for a year-and-a-half for walking around.

He went before the court to tell the world he believes Joe Biden is the president. That is really the purpose of these Third World show trials.

This is Biden’s kangaroo court.

What’s next, Congress members filing civil suits against Capitol paraders for emotional distress.

Rush talked about criminalizing politics decades ago and Republicans turned a deaf ear.

Is this the FBI agent in question. Not what the vast majority would view as someone From the FBI. Given that we haven’t heard of one single case where the violent ones have been charged, we can surmise that those perpetrators were in deed Federal agents. This character sure resembles those who caused havoc at the Capitol.

Julie posted she’d be on Newsmax so I tuned in for That. What’s the point of a “Panel” when the others haven’t been involved in the coverage. Julie gets ONE DAMN MINUTE and the host goes to the others. She starts to mention Republicans lack of concern and Then, a CNN moment happens. They lose the connection. Yeah right. Why does she even bother with that outfit. At MOST, she gets a “couple” of minutes.

Scott Walker was there also. He spoke about there has to be consequences and THEN goes off about the budget. Well, Screw Scott Walker. Don’t run for President Again Walker.

There’s a reason I quit watching Newsmax altogether.

That host was just as bad, talking about “consequences”. For What, for parading in the Capitol after officers ushered them in. I’m getting fed up with all these people who are too scared to distinguish those who were ACTUAL criminals as opposed to those who did nothing more than take a tour.

This is what I wrote to both Senators;

I’ve been following and am appalled at what has transpired over these past months regarding those who, per complaints by DOJ, “paraded” in the nation’s Capitol. The absence of due process for many who are denied bail and are subject to remaining confined LONGER than a likely sentence will be, is an anathema to norms and principles of this country and the Constitution in particular. It’s even More disgusting that very, very few Republicans have the courage, or even the decency so speak out regarding this travesty, and it IS a travesty. After seeing how our so-called “Justice Department” has operated over the past years I have come to loathe, hate and despise “this” Country, and also those who serve in power who do little to nothing about it. Julie Kelly’s latest article pretty well sums up the political persecutions that are going on, right now, in This country. I sure as hell do Not want to hear Any Republican talk about Putin or any other so-called “dictator” when WE are complicit in much worse. What country rounds up HUNDREDS for “parading” around their Capitol, including an entire family. They have yet to file charges against a single individual who HAD committed violence, property damage etc. So far they are ONLY going after those who officers had ushered INTO the building. What Republican has inquired of the treatment of these inmates who have been beaten, maced in the middle of the night, or the solitary confinement for the heinous crime of “parading”. They are being railroaded into plea deals that likely wouldn’t withstand scrutiny at Appellate levels using a law that was never intended for “protesters”, Obstructing of a legal proceeding. For a Judge to equate some of these to actual terrorists because one man waved a Trump flag shows this man isn’t FIT to be a Judge. If our Senator is incapable of any courage I’ll sure as hell vote Democrat just for revenge sake alone. Julie’s latest article describes how disgusting all this is.
