Nazi Sympathizer Is Sentenced to 4 Years Over Role in Jan. 6 Attack

The defendant’s “racist and antisemitic motivation” for trying to halt the election certification process set his case apart from dozens of other rioters, a judge said.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Thursday sentenced a Nazi sympathizer who served in the Army reserves to four years in prison for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, saying his “racist and antisemitic motivation” for trying to halt the election certification process set his case apart from dozens of other rioters who have been charged.

The defendant, Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, 32, was working as a security guard at a naval station in New Jersey when he joined the pro-Trump mob that broke into the Capitol. At a trial in May in Federal District Court in Washington, Mr. Hale-Cusanelli was convicted of five criminal charges, including obstruction of the certification of the 2020 election results, which took place at a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6.

Too bad they couldn't add "Hate crime" to his charges. It might not fit under the definition. Maraya1969 Sep 2022 #6

And feel a little sorry for them, being so ignorant and hateful. Following that orange moron, doing his dirty work for them, and many of them described Jan 6 as the best day of their lives.

Just rampant, fevered stupidity.
