Proud Boys Members Sentenced for Role in Capitol Attack
Ethan Nordian: 18 Years in Prison
According to Reuters, two individuals have recently been convicted for their involvement in the infamous raid on the United States Congress building, which occurred on January 6, 2021. These individuals are members of the notorious group known as the Proud Boys, and their actions were seen as an attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the election results, with a particular focus on supporting former President Donald Trump.
The leader of the Proud Boys, Ethan Nordian, has been handed a sentence of 18 years in prison. Nordian was found guilty of conspiracy charges, specifically for his role in orchestrating the events that transpired on that fateful day. It is worth noting that the imposed sentence falls short of what the prosecution had initially sought, as they had hoped for a term of up to 27 years behind bars.
Dominic Pezola: 10 Years in Prison
Another member of the Proud Boys, Dominic Pezola, who did not hold a leadership position within the group, has also faced legal consequences for his actions. Pezola was charged with hindering prosecution and assaulting police officers during the Capitol attack. Reportedly, as he exited the courtroom, he shouted the words, “Trump won.” Pezola has been sentenced to serve a decade in prison.
To date, over 1,100 individuals have been arrested in connection with the assault on the Capitol. Among them, more than 630 individuals have pled guilty, and 110 individuals have been found guilty in trials related to the incident. These figures underscore the seriousness with which the authorities are treating the attack on our nation’s esteemed parliamentary institution.
