Capitol rioter Scott Fairlamb sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for punching police

A federal judge sentenced a New Jersey gym owner Wednesday to serve nearly 3.5 years in prison for punching a D.C. Police officer in the head during the Capitol riot.
Scott Fairlamb pleaded guilty in September to one count each of obstruction of an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting or impeding police. Footage captured outside the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6 shows Fairlamb inciting other rioters and accosting police - at one point yelling, “Are you an American!?” - before striking an officer who was attempting to reinforce others inside the building.
In other videos, Fairlamb can be seen climbing up scaffolding for the inaugural stage and yelling, "What do patriots do? We [expletive] disarm them and then we storm the [expletive] Capitol!"
Fairlamb faced a recommended sentencing range of 41-51 months in prison, and the Justice Department argued in a memo that he should serve the upper end of that. During his sentencing hearing before U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth on Wednesday, prosecutors said Fairlamb, a boxing trainer and one-time MMA fighter, knew the sort of injury he could cause when he punched the officer. They also said previous assault charges he’s faced show the January 6 assault wasn’t an isolated incident, calling it “one of a long line of assaults.”

The actual vote count never mattered to the GOP. I think their plan since before Drumpf even decided to run for office in 2016 was for their presidency to end in a treasonous dictatorship, one way or another (via pandemic, nuclear war, election fraud, etc), and I've been screaming it in social media since then. Republicans are still fighting / lusting for a white supremacist, fascist, Christian dictatorship / civil war, as they have been since the rise of Obama and the subsequent rise of Republican fear, bigotry (fear) and greed (fear). They'll go full Nazi if we let them. We’re closer to American Civil War II than most people believe and just like before our own friends and family members would take up arms against us for not getting on board with their extreme greed and bigotries just like the Confederates in 1865 they literally idolize or like the Nazis in 1938. It's not a race war, it's a (worldwide, unified) war against racists (and inequality in general)! #theyvotedforaBigot #BuildBridgesNotWalls #DeportMeToo #BanMeToo #BLM #RepublicansAreNazis #InsideJob

Just how the hell does your father's job go into your accountability for violent criminal acts??? What if Fairlamb's dad was a lazy slouch who didn't do much of anything useful? Would Fairlamb then be subject to _more_ prison time?? What exactly is the equation here??? If your father worked a particular job, then you are _not_ as accountable for your violent crimes??? What a violent criminal's father did/does for a living should be *IRRELEVANT.* Just as irrelevant as the victim's father's job.
