A Jan. 6 rioter and hunting guide from Colorado is going to prison after admitting to wrestling an officer to the ground for his baton and kicking the officer in the chest with his boot during the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Patrick Montgomery, 51, was sentenced Thursday to 37 months or more than three years in prison, the U.S. Attorneys Office announced in a press release. He was convicted of assaulting officers and obstruction of an official proceeding, the latter charge dismissed following the Supreme Courts decision in Fischer v. United States, prosecutors said.
Montgomerys attorney, Roger Roots, reacted to his clients sentence, telling The Colorado Sun in an email that he thought his client was seriously over-sentenced.
The DOJ has sought the harshest sentences for political rioting in American history for Jan. 6 defendants, Roots said. Mr. Montgomery was sentenced to more than three years in prison for pulling on an officers baton.

(2,129 posts)The fools who participated in the Jan 6 coup attempt and who are still roaming around think they will pull the same stunt this time. They don't realize that Biden commands all US military forces and he will not tolerate any of this shit.
My daughter who lives in DC on Capitol Hill tells me the Capitol Police, DC Police, MD and VA State Police along with DC, VA, and MD National Guard have been practicing the drilling for a couple of weeks already.
Would be fine with me if there were a few dozen Ashley Babbits this time around.

The sentence actually seems too mild to me. Let us not pretend it was merely trying to grab his stick. Much more complex and multi-faceted than that.
