Texan who prosecutors say “lit the match” of Jan. 6 riot sentenced to more than 7 years in prison
Guy Reffitt, a 49-year-old Wylie resident, never entered the Capitol but helped ignite the crowd “into an unstoppable force,” a prosecutor at his trial said. His sentence is the longest given out so far from the Jan. 6 riot.

The prosecutors wanted more.
Oh well, I guess that means one less asshole posting right-wing bullshit on moviechatforums.
That was Ray Epps and his cronies, there's video of them taking down fences and telling people to go into the capitol. Odd how this guy gets seven years but Epps is seen doing much worse.
shareNope.
'During their talks, Mr Epps insisted that he had remained peaceful and had instructed other rioters to do the same. Video footage that was eventually edited and used to suggest Mr Epps was inciting violence actually showed that he was trying to talk down other protesters who were getting angry.
In one video, he tells another protester, Ryan Samsel, to relax and reminds him that the Capitol police were doing their jobs. According to the Times, Mr Samsel was questioned by the FBI and fully corroborated Mr Epps' version of events.
“He came up to me and he said, ‘Dude’ — his entire words were, ‘Relax, the cops are doing their job,’” Mr Samsel told investigators.
Further, Mr Epps was able to prove that he had left the Capitol before the violence began in earnest. A protester who had fallen ill required help away from the chaos, and Mr Epps volunteered to help lead them out.'

Yes he was talking them down while letting them in....🤦🏿♂️
shareI hadn't heard of the conspiracy theories regarding Mr. Epps, I was merely pointing them out to Lord Rake! Since he is not among the hundreds arrested for their actions that day, the authorities obviously agree with his account of events...

You think he should have been arrested?!
shareEdited video? Odd there are no jump cuts or dubbed audio. I don't know why you guys fight this, he's the poster boy for the fantasy you've been spoon fed. Epps along with the guy on the scaffolding with the bullhorn instructing people to move forward and the guy taking down fences are the conspiracy you want, it's perfect.
