I did not research any details about this man or his past or his trial, but this appears to be a harsh punishment for a political protest! I hope, Mr. Hodgkins will appeal his sentence!
An extraordinary hunt has happened for the protesters of the January 6th Capitol protest event! About 500 were so far arrested. We are still waiting for such efforts regarding left-wing protesters.
For prosecutors to claim "like each rioter, contributed to the collective threat to democracy" is ludicrous at best! Very questionable!
The prosecutor acknowledged that Hodgkins did not destroy any property “and he did not injure anyone.”
E.g. forensic recounts of the November 2020 presidential election are still going on or are being considered in several states and early indications are that there were possibly issues with election integrity!
"... In pronouncing the sentence, Judge Randolph Moss said that Hodgkins had played a role, if not as significant as others, in one of the worst episodes in American history. ..."
What is this judge fantasizing about! Did he really say that!
