Man with megaphone who led Capitol rioters gets more than seven years in prison
Taylor James Johnatakis ‘barked commands’ and shouted step-by-step directions for overpowering police officers
It still seems a let off for insurrection. If this is a sign of what the ring leaders will get its a bit underwhelming.
Still 7 years is a long time to reflect on the evil you have caused.
One thing bugs me about the insurrectionists excuses. Who takes a megaphone into town unless they intend to do a bit of seditition ? Or a gallows for that matter ?
