[QUOTE="728ups, post: 5413946, member: 33372"] Judge Amy Berman Jackson didn't hold back in her criticism of [URL='https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2022/09/13/iowa-us-capitol-riot-suspect-kyle-young-sentencing-proposed-seven-years/10368348002/']Kyle Young[/URL]. His actions at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, "were some of the darkest acts committed on one of our nation’s darkest days," [URL='https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2022/09/27/kyle-young-iowa-capitol-riot-assaulted-michael-fanone-sentenced-january-6/8121800001/']she told him Tuesday[/URL]. The punishment she handed down was equally harsh for the 38-year-old heating and air conditioning technician from the Dallas County town of Redfield, Iowa, ordering Young to serve 86 months — more than seven years — in federal prison. According to a database maintained by federal prosecutors, the sentence, which federal prosecutors recommended, was the fourth longest handed down to the more than 260 convicted Jan. 6 rioters. Young [URL='https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2022/05/05/kyle-young-iowa-pleads-guilty-jan-6-us-capitol-riot-assault-officer/9643695002/']pleaded guilty in May[/URL] to assaulting, resisting or impeding a police officer. He is one of several defendants to be [URL='https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2021/04/16/kyle-james-young-charged-with-assaulting-washington-dc-police-officer-capitol-riot-attack/7262650002/']charged in the assault[/URL] of D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone, who was dragged into the crowd, beaten and shocked with a stun gun while defending one of the entrances to the Capitol during the riot. Young admitted in his guilty plea that he grabbed Fanone's arm during the melee, preventing him from reaching his radio or sidearm as he was assaulted. Jackson, a U.S. District Judge in Washington, D.C., where the sentencing was held, noted video evidence shows Young repeatedly assaulting or menacing officers on the Capitol's West Terrace. The Judge directly addressed the political dispute underlying the riot, criticizing Trump and other leading Republicans for their efforts to sow doubt and overturn the results of the 2020 election. "It is not patriotism, it is not standing up for America to stand up for one man who knows full well that he lost instead of the Constitution he was trying to subvert," said Jackson, a 2011 appointee of then-President Barack Obama. She added that the "lie" the election was stolen continues to spread online and in mainstream media outlets. "And worse, it’s become heresy for members of the former president’s party to say otherwise," she said. [/QUOTE]
