Sentencing and Terrorism: Debating the Length of Jail Time and the Definition of the Capitol Assault
The chapter delves into the sentencing of a former Power Boys leader involved in the Capitol assault, with the prosecutor requesting 33 years, the defense arguing for 15 years, and the final settlement at 22 years in prison. They explore the judge's discomfort with labeling the events as terrorism, discuss whether the defendant should be considered a terrorist, and examine the racial aspect of the Proud Boys group. Additionally, they question the severity of charges for inciting violence and compare the case to previous protests.
