Protester Gets Over SEVEN YEARS in Prison For Protesting OUTSIDE The Capitol on January 6

What has happened to America? Guy Reffitt “was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for ‘hyperbolic and rhetorical statements.’” Yet he didn’t enter the Capitol at all. What happened to the First Amendment? Apparently the freedom of speech can be enjoyed only by Leftists today, not by those who protest against the galloping authoritarianism and dishonesty of those same Leftists. This case should go to the Supreme Court, and Guy Reffitt should be freed. But will it? Nowadays, the corruption is so very deep that it’s not at all clear that Guy Reffitt will ever get justice. And there are other January 6 protesters who are being scapegoated and persecuted in a similar way, as the Left tries to stigmatize all opposition to its agenda as treason. This is how authoritarian governments get started.

“Protester Receives Sentence For Protesting Outside Capitol On January 6th After Prosecution’s Request For Terrorism,” RedRightVideos, August 4, 2022:

Guy Reffitt was at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. He was angry. Thousands of patriotic Americans were at the U.S. Capitol on that fateful day, and they were angry as well. They had witnessed one of the most egregious acts of election fraud in our nation’s history.

These people were pissed. They had watched as a successful sitting president was defrauded of a second term. Joe Biden and the corrupt Democrat Party machine cheated. They knew it and were mad as hell about it.

Some members of the “Stop the Steal” protest spurred an otherwise peaceful crowd to violence. The violence was isolated, and some believe planted federal operatives intentionally triggered it. Guy Reffitt was not one of the individuals caught up in the chaos.

Reffitt never even entered the Capitol building, an act that has many still locked away in jail. He protested outside, something that is his constitutional right. It doesn’t matter how mad he was or what he said. Reffitt was accused of making “hyperbolic statements.”

But the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that such statements still do not violate the law. Guy Reffitt is yet another in a long line of scapegoats being abused by the so-called January 6 commission. This commission and its investigation are a political sham.

This commission is nothing more than a propaganda machine waging war against President Trump and any American who supports him. It is an assault on a political ideology. Furthermore, it is an assault on American democracy; exactly what the commission claims to be fighting for.

What a total sham. Guy Reffitt never entered the Capitol, nor did he engage in any violence. He said things that the radical left finds offensive. That’s it. Reffitt was recently sentenced for his involvement in a protest.

Reffitt was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for “hyperbolic and rhetorical statements.” Does anyone else appreciate where this is headed? This is an attack on American liberty. We have the right to protest.

But there was another aspect to Reffitt’s sentencing. It did not include an “Upwards Departure for Terrorism”. Prosecutors are threatening otherwise innocent Americans with this charge. They believe that when confronted with such a strong sentence, they will back down and plead out.

Most of those still awaiting trial are charged with misdemeanors. The charges stem from trespassing to remaining in a government facility. There are virtually no charges remaining that involve violence. Americans are being persecuted for protesting….
