Fifth person pleads guilty in Capitol riot

[Rustyeye77]

A Tennessee man on Tuesday became the fifth person to plead guilty for their involvement in the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

According to court documents filed in the U.S. District Court for D.C., Bryan Wayne Ivey agreed to plead guilty to parading, demonstrating, or picketing inside a Capitol building, violating a federal law that forbids violent entry and disorderly conduct.

As part of the agreement, Ivey agreed to pay $500 in restitution for the nearly $1.5 million in damages that were caused by the riot. The other three charges against him were dropped.


Ivey was arrested in Cookeville, Tenn., on March 4 on additional charges of knowingly entering a restricted building without lawful authority, disorderly conduct on restricted grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.

He faces up to six months in prison as well as a fine of up to $5,000.

1. It was not a riot

It was an attempted coup

[Runningdawg]

2. So the punishment for treason is $500 - good to know.

3. He's got a conviction on his record.

We can hope that will cause him much distress for the rest of his life.

Let's take the win and move on to the rest of the insurrectionists...

4. This is NOT a win. The facists do NOT give up. Look how things went for Germany

after they gave Hitler and his goons a little slap on the wrist after their first failed coup.

5. Oh c'mon...thats a win?

He should be in prison. No one should get a pass.

6. It is a misdemeanor conviction

That causes no one any problems. Employers don't even ask about those.
