A professional butcher whose bloody, wild-eyed face became one of the most memorable images of the U.S. Capitol riot was sentenced Thursday to more than seven years in prison for hurling a bow like a spear at police and attacking several other officers.

      I agree with the glorifying of these people needing to stop. As a counterpoint to most other idiots, however, this individual seems to be taking accountability - which should be viewed as more positive than the rest of the traitors. And by that I mean he states he now sees he is in the wrong, which is above and beyond most statements these traitors make.

      I do remember this particular loser from videos of the riot, and I don’t mind hearing how it turned out for him.

      Even during situations where police and other rioters weren’t fighting physically, he was the one idiot actively at the front trying to punch 10 armored officers at once. He was batshit crazy and stupid aggressive, even compared to the other batshit crazy stupid aggressive frontline rioters, so it’s not a huge surprise that he got an article.

      Also the apnews site is terrible anyway and uses all the worst advertising dark patterns. This is what internet rot looks like, I assume it affects their reporting too.
