Howard C. Richardson, a 72-year-old from Pennsylvania, was sentenced Friday to nearly four years in prison for beating a police officer with a Trump flag during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Richardson, who pleaded guilty in April to a charge of assaulting a law enforcement officer, made his way to restricted areas of the Capitol grounds during the riot that interrupted Congress as members were counting electoral votes related to the 2021 presidential election, according to a statement released by the Department of Justice.

The Pennsylvania native told the FBI he was at the Capitol because he was "pissed off" about the 2020 presidential election and angry about alleged voter fraud, NBC reported. He marched through the crowd carrying a Trump flag as he passed officers trying to keep the surge at bay.

Just another peaceful Trump supporter.

Assault a cop, go to jail? Pretty standard charge here.

But ACAB dude, right? You should be in support of this brave old man for taking on the fascist, murderous police...correct?

This brave old man broke the law and now he's going to prison. I don't support anyone who breaks the law.

So Not ACAB?

Of course not. Most cops are fine. However the cops who break the law deserve what they get.

And that’s that! 👍

Ok man, just checking! When you have posters among your ranks that are liars, trolls, and racists(not naming any names, of course 😏)....consistency checks are a must.

I don't like to treat everyone that I disagree with the same, that's not cool.

But you have to admit, a cop that gets "beaten" by a 72 year old is a pretty crappy cop. Just get out of the old mans way lol.

All he had to do was hit him
And don’t forget that old geezer had several thousand MAGA zombies behind him

You M-Fers are the biggest LIARS and TROLLS we have here. You are fucking everywhere and fucking lying all the fucking time, you POS. M-F, you're fucking parents should be burning in hell for what they've set upon us.

So I live in your head rent free too? Sweet.

You're definitely triggered.

Also I do not lie, you just believe them.

So then when Diaper Joe calls the cops the “enemy” he’s wrong???

When BLM chants “what do we want? Dead cops” they are wrong?

as we have learned over the years, dems can do say and do anything they want.

[–] MovieChatUser497 (18943) 2 years ago

Seriously, the left orders the Supreme Court to be murdered and nothing happens.

[–] JoWilli (21654) 2 years ago

yeah its weird. welcome to liberal bizarro land.

[–] robocat893 (16260) 2 years ago

MovieChatUser497 couldn't provide any proof of his claim that anyone on the left called for assassinating the Supreme Court. Maybe you can provide a link to a reputable news source backing up his claim.

So then when Diaper Joe calls the cops the “enemy” he’s wrong???

Didn't he reneg on that during the SOTU, but declaring to "Fund the Police!" ??

[–] MovieChatUser497 (18943) 2 years ago

I’m sure if he had been a BLM rioter who murdered a cop he would be a hero to the far left.

Rob does not care when BLM, antifa or black people in general beat up police, it is only wrong to him when it's done by a trump supporter.

[–] MovieChatUser497 (18943) 2 years ago

The left wants cops dead and its disgusting when they all of a sudden pretend to care about their well being as soon as it’s politically advantageous for them.

[–] yatzo376 (7755) 2 years ago

The geezer was a marine and NY cop. He should have known better. A cop beating a cop because of a lie.
Shameful!

[–] JoWilli (21654) 2 years ago

Defund the Police!

[–] MovieChatUser497 (18943) 2 years ago

BLM and Antifa murdered over 20 people and injured thousands of cops because your cult’s lies.

Okay so he's got a one year sentence before he keels over.
