Ex-NYPD cop sobs in court as he gets 10 years in prison for attacking DC officer at the Capitol

New York City Police Officer Thomas Webster sobbed in court as the judge told him that he would get the level 4 sentence enhancement which would add 6.25 years to his sentence over beating a Capitol Police officer on Jan. 6, 2021. The federal prosecutors were seeking a 17-year sentence

“I just wish the events of Jan. 6 didn’t happen," he cried. He went on to say that he told his children to disown him and he regrets going to the attack.

“Perhaps our country would not be as divided as it is today” if Jan 6 hadn’t happened, Webster said. He then explained that the shame he has experienced would be worse than jail. Webster then closed by saying “I’m sorry.”

The police officer he assaulted was present in the courtroom, reported those watching the court unfold. Webster didn't apologize to the officer, however.

Cry me a river, traitor. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Meanwhile, I be like...

[Bread and Circuses]

1. So sorry, Not

Only sorry that he got caught, was arrested, adjudicated, sentenced and now heading to Prison.

He knew what he was doing.

[Effete Snob]

2. Fuck that piece of shit

[SheltieLover]

3. ...

Too bad it wasn't life without parole!

[Saboburns]

4. That there is a man who found out.

He lied like a dog on the witness stand.

Played the victim like all Republicans.

Hard time.

[empedocles]

8. Ah

[RussBLib]

5. Sweet tears

With cops like that, no wonder we have some policing problems. Stupid POS.

[keithbvadu2]

6. How much would he sob if his eyes were gouged out like he tried to do to a fellow cop?

How much would he sob if his eyes were gouged out like he tried to do to a fellow cop?

Maybe he didn't sob enough like Kyle Rittenhouse?

[The Unmitigated Gall]

7. Sux to be you, Ossiffer.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. I think some of these judges sleep through the part where INSURRECTION is mentioned.

[Cha]

10. Don't Forget to Thank Fucking DT,

Webster! BooHoo

[Emile]

11. Judgement Day for Thomas Webster. Soon Donald Trump will face

Judgement Day too!

[Scrivener7]

12. Good.

[Aristus]

13. Oh, boo-hoo-hoo!

Not so tough now, are you, traitorous scumbag?

[Demovictory9]

14. Video of attack

[kwolf68]

46. Goodness

I've seen more understanding and mental fortitude in a Slayer mosh pit. These people are deranged.

[calimary]

54. And they should all be locked up.

Before anybody else gets hurt, physically OR otherwise.

[AmBlue]

15. An idea for community service...

These MAGAt a**holes getting convicted for their participation in the J6 attack should be recorded apologizing to the American people, and speaking directly to all the other MAGAt idiots out there. They should speak clearly to their grave error in judgment and how believing TFG's lies ruined their lives, among other things. These tape recorded statements could be broadcast as continuing public apologies and public service announcements to the public at large. They would also serve as a digital tar-and-feathering if you will.

Who could speak to MAGAts better than another MAGAt that got his ass burned and his life ruined by believing in a disgusting orange con man?

[orleans]

16. WOMP WOMP nt

[Paladin]

17. Cry us a river, fuckface. You got off easy. (nt)

[purr-rat beauty]

24. the pig is a traitor to his own....

...and this country, he can suck shit

[Marthe48]

25. Seriously-he belived that traitor?

He ruined his life because of hype he heard on tv? Really?

Wonder what year of his 10 year sentence he'll come to his senses.

Really hoping this is one of many double digit sentences handed down to the stupid traitors who were led to commit treason by a faithless, self-serving, amoral bullshit dauber.

[NBachers]

26. H's 56 years old. Welcome to your Golden Years, you piece of shit.

[Demobrat]

47. So when he gets out

he’ll be 66, won’t have a pension, and his social security will be minimal due to not having paid in during what should have been his high earning years.

Why do I suspect he’ll be begging the government he tried to overthrow for help?

[Native]

27. I loved how the judge called him on his bullshit.

[niyad]

28. Hey, you insurrectionist ASSHOLE. January 6 is simply a day on the calendar,

neither good nor bad. YOU and the rest of the braindead cultists and your chosen fuhrer MADE it a day of horror and pain for those you WILLINGLY, CHEERFULLY, and DELIBERATELY attacked.

FUCK ALL OF YOU WHO PARTICIPATED. Quite frankly, I think ten years is too lenient.

[liberalmuse]

29. He's sorry he got caught.

But I'm sure Trump is paying for all his legal fees like he says he is and will pardon him by declaring him "pardoned" in crayon on stolen Presidential stationary that he'll be using when he's also in prison.

[Rebl2]

38. Oh yes

I am sure tfg will pay his legal fee’s-not!

[TeamProg]

40. He'd be bucking for position and award if the coup was successful.. n/t

[uponit7771]

[paleotn]

30. Fuck you.

Rot in jail you piece of shit.

[Caliman73]

31. "Perhaps our country would not be as divided as it is today if Jan 6 hadn't happened"

Where the fuck have you been the last 50 years dude? January 6th was a RESULT of the division in the country, not a cause you idiot. It is a DELIBERATE division too, created by Conservatives, who understood that their policies are shit and only serve the wealthiest people in the country. A policy created after another Scumbag Republican/Conservative president was forced to resign for breaking the law and covering it up TO WIN AN ELECTION, he was already going to win.

Right wing media was already being envisioned, but when Nixon went down for his crime, Conservatives said, "Never Again" and pushed to infiltrate media with a concerted push to promote their propaganda. Reality has a liberal bias, so Conservatives created a way to keep their base in a bubble, to stoke fear and resentment, and to put their narratives out into the mainstream of society. They started this shit about "Real America" and "Silent Majority" and the like. In the 80's Reagan started with his "Government IS the problem" bullshit, then proceed to break the social contract part of government. In the 90's Gingrich started talking about Democrats being the "enemy" and treated elections as a zero sum. Bush/Cheney continued with their "You're with us or the terrorists" bullshit. That lead to Trump, who just took the mask off completely and showed what Conservatism becomes when allowed to go unchecked.

So no dude, January 6th did not divide the country. You idiots were already brainwashed and just needed a complete sociopath to lead you over the edge to try to stage the coup you were already fantasizing about.

[catbyte]

51. Amen

[FlyingPiggy]

53. Exactly! Wonderfully recapped.

[Midnight Writer]

32. He lied, brazenly, on the witness stand. Claimed he was trying to help the cop.

He had no remorse until he got sentenced.

Hard to feel sympathy for him.
