Air Force Vet Who Stormed Capitol in Combat Gear Sentenced to Prison

[Beachnutt]

NBC5 DFW
A retired Air Force officer who stormed the U.S. Capitol dressed in combat gear and carried zip-tie handcuffs into the Senate gallery was sentenced on Friday to two years in prison.

Larry Brock joined other rioters on the Senate floor only minutes after then-Vice President Mike Pence, senators and their staff evacuated the chamber to escape the mob attacking the building on Jan. 6, 2021
U.S. District Judge John Bates also sentenced Brock to two years of supervised release after his prison term and ordered him to perform 100 hours of community service. Brock, who declined to speak in court before the judge imposed his sentence, remains free until he must report to prison at a date to be determined.

1. That sentence is a joke.

[Beachnutt]

4. I agree,

He is a retired Lieutenant Colonel he should been charged with treason.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Retired officer on military pension, healthcare and benefits.

2. Not long enough...

He's an oath breaker. As an oath taker, I am not satisfied with this sentence, perhaps there are further damages coming from victims.

10. +1

He will probably be out in time to to try it again in 2024.

3. good

6. For his community service I suggest...

That he be forced to work with the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful, caring and dedicated elections supervisor in a VERY rural county or community somewhere with a population in the 3 digits, who diligently does his/her job day in and day out, even though it is slow work for a small amount of people, yet it is done with care and precision because THEY ARE THE KINDS OF AMERICANS WHO DON'T TRY AND OVERTHROW AN ELECTION BECAUSE IT DIDN'T GO THE WAY THEY WANTED!

He should be forced to work with someone who doesn't wear their politics on their sleeve so he can see what a true American is, not his dopey vision of one.

7. Will he (I hope) lose his pension, healthcare and other benefits

Seems only just to lose your military benefits if you betray your country.

9. No.

11. If the gov't does have the guts to go after his AF pension, maybe civil suits will garnish it.

[Deuce]

15. Yes, after incarceration for awhile, can be reinstated after release...

[dalton99a]

8. A slap on the wrist

Hope the judge thanked him for his service and all that shit

[PufPuf23]

12. Brock should have been sentenced for at least 10 years and

lost all veterans benefits.

Disappointed at the punishment for the 1000 plus already convicted or pled.

Hope the projected additional flood of indictments includes GOP members of Congress, attorneys, and financial backers of the failed coup.

Brock will only be smarter and more prepared should he have the opportunity to take part in a similar future traitor venture.

13. Shame on this POS. Nt

[Locutusofborg]

14. By the luck of the draw

he got a judge appointed by George W. Bush plus he's a first offender.
