Capitol Rioter Who Boasted She Wouldn't Go to Jail Because She's White Is Going to Prison

[Jilly_in_VA]

A Texas real estate agent who swore she wouldn’t be jailed over her role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot has been sentenced to 60 days in prison.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper on Thursday also slapped convicted rioter Jenna Ryan with $500 in restitution after she was charged with a single count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.

At the hearing, Cooper told Ryan that he believed her punishment would tell Americans “something about the courts and about how our country responded to what happened, and I think the sentence should tell them that we take it seriously.”

“You suggested antifa was somehow involved. And perhaps most famously, you said that because you had blonde hair and white skin, you wouldn’t be going to jail,” Cooper said.

According to a sentencing memo that chronicled her appearance at the Capitol and her boastful commentary in the aftermath of the attack, Ryan in March had declared on Twitter that she would not face consequences for the insurrection—because she’s white.

“Definitely not going to jail. Sorry I have blonde hair white skin a great job a great future and I’m not going to jail,” she wrote. “Sorry to rain on your hater parade. I did nothing wrong.”

[SWBTATTReg]

1. I guess she's going to have a rude awakening...I wonder how this is going to look on her future...

resume? Not good, I'd imagine...

[MarcA]

4. Regrettably it appeals to magats if used in campaign ads. n/t

[George II]

12. She's a real estate agent in a red area, this is probably going to boost her business...AFTER....

....she gets out of jail.

[Caliman73]

49. She got consequences, which is good, but likely won't affect her future.

As others have said, she is a licensed Real Estate Agent. Not being in the Real Estate field, I don't know if there is an ethics association or if conviction of a crime would necessitate losing your license. Since this is not anything associated with fraudulent activity against customers, I don't think that she will lose any credentials.

I would hope that she would lose any credibility for her part in the insurrection, but right wingers love to play the victim and I am sure that she will garner some sympathy.

Glad the judge had the sense to acknowledge her flippant attitude and likely hit her with the hardest justifiable sentence for her part.

[louis-t]

98. It's up to her state licensing department.

I doubt they will pursue the matter. If it's a felony, there might be some sanctions.

[Horse with no Name]

55. With all things being equal and fair, she should lose her Real Estate license

Which Crimes Are Most Likely to Disqualify You?

The crimes that matter most to TREC are those that directly relate to the duties and responsibilities of a license holder, and those that show that the person is probably not able to represent the interest of someone else with the required honesty, trustworthiness, and integrity.

These offenses involve:

felonies involving driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influence (DUI)

felonies involving the manufacture, delivery, or intent to deliver controlled substances

fraud or misrepresentation

forgery, falsification of records, or perjury

offering, paying, or taking bribes, kickbacks, or other illegal compensation

offenses against real or personal property belonging to another, against a person, or

against public administration

[Lucky Luciano]

2. 60 days is less than the 20 years of solitary confinement with maximum PTSD on release she deserves

[Mickju]

43. I have said from the beginning everyone involved should get 20 years.

[GoodRaisin]

58. They may have to put her in solitary if the other inmates find out what

trash has been spewing out of her about her whiteness. Could be a rough 60 days for her, considering the white life she’s been used to living.

[orangecrush]

62. THIS

[empedocles]

3. Got a '403 Forbidden'

[634-5789]

66. Here ya go...

[lagomorph777]

5. 'parading demonstrating or picketing' - that is a shameful charge.

Hey Garland, it's called 'rebellion or insurrection' goddammit.

[Duppers]

40. Hell yes, it was insurrection!!

What's wrong with Garland??

[Locutusofborg]

71. Not a single person out of 691 arrested

has been charged with violating 18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection

[NurseJackie]

94. Yeah... Good luck with that.

[COL Mustard]

6. I Bet She Won't Be That Blonde When She Comes Out

And probably won't be smiling either!

[JustAnotherGen]

7. She's garbage

to the Judge

[Hekate]

8. 60 days isn't long enough for her roots to really grow out under that blonde hair...

It it at least a felony charge?

[Trueblue1968]

47. BLACK HAIR to match her BLACK SOUL.

[LoisB]

9. 60 days is not nearly enough time. These people getting probation, 30 days in jail (or even prison)

is an affront to supposed criminal "justice".

[packman]

10. Well, that makes me feel a wee bit better today

[Progressive Jones]

11. Another weak sentence. These dirtbags aren't being punished. nt

[Escurumbele]

26. Agreed, a minimum of six months should have been OK, even though she deserved more

She has been making fun of the insurrection of which she was part of, she has been singing her white privilege and predicting that because of it she would not go to jail...with 60 days she kind of was right, her white privilege won her a short sentence.

I just hope she is greeted accordingly by the other inmates who do not enjoy the same white privilege she enjoys and boasts about it.

[bluecollar2]

13. Blonde hair and white skin

May not be that helpful in prison.

Prisons aren't usually havens for white privilege

[TomDaisy]

14. when Jenna Ryan goes to jail it will be "the best day of my life."

[Evolve Dammit]

15. 500 bucks?? 500 fucking bucks?? That's it Judge? What a joke. 500?? Bucks?

Can you sense my icredulity? Godammit.

[NurseJackie]

17. What should it have been instead?

[Escurumbele]

27. At least six months and $5,000.00

I would have been sort of OK with that. She has been making a mockery of the justice system, and she is right, that is what is so sad, the judge just helped her prove it.

[NurseJackie]

32. Does that conform with the sentencing guidelines for what she was convicted of?

Or are we advocating that judges start handing out sentences on-the-fly based on how they (or we) feel about someone's crime?

[Volaris]

42. I might be wierd, but I almost feel like court fines should be based on ones annual income...

If I'm a 16 yo with my first car and a job, and I make 10k a year, my fine for the speeding ticket i got should be about 30 bucks.

If I'm a rich white asshole millionaire with the same speeding ticket, my fine should be about 3 THOUSAND.

If were gonna run a stratified society based on monetary wealth, shouldn't our criminal justice system reflect ACCORDINGLY?!

[Mosby]

31. She flew into the insurrection on a private jet.

50,000 dollar fine would work for me. That would sting a little.

Nba players and coaches are fined 15-30 grand just for talking shit about the officiating of a game.

[NurseJackie]

33. Is that what we're promoting now?

Nba players and coaches are fined 15-30 grand

By their employers, not by the government. I don't think that is a valid comparison.

50,000 dollar fine would work for me. That would sting a little.

Is that what we're promoting now? Fines and sentences should be handed out based on the mood of the judge (or the observers)? I'm not sure that's a good idea.

[ShazzieB]

46. Definitely not a good idea.

I get the feeling some here don't understand things like sentencing guidelines. I don't know much about them myself, but I do know they exist.

[Mosby]

61. I dont care about sentencing guidelines.

Did the public decide sentencing guidelines, or did lawyers?

[Mosby]

60. Maybe she should be fined 100,000 dollars.

Based on the mood of the judge of course.

[NurseJackie]

82. I halfway expect people to start demanding that hands be chopped off...

... or that they be strung-up in the public square. While I understand the emotion and frustration... all these "OFF WITH HER HEAD" type of declarations are simply absurd.

[Evolve Dammit]

70. You're kidding right? how bout a lot more? What do you think an appropiate amount might be for a

real estate broker that committed a felony crime?

[NurseJackie]

83. No, I'm not "kidding right".

What do you think an appropiate amount might be for a
real estate broker that committed a felony crime?

It sounds to me like a plea deal was made and she was sentenced appropriately. Although I understand the anger and emotion, we simply can't expect judges to make it up as we go along when it comes to sentencing. The law is being followed here.

[Evolve Dammit]

84. What were the parameters for sentencing in this case? If the Judge was following the guidelines?

[NurseJackie]

85. Look them up for me, would ya?

Thanks.

[Evolve Dammit]

86. Well I thought you knew, since you were so quick to defend the joke of a sentence. Guess not.

[NurseJackie]

87. Biden's DOJ and prosecutors are not corrupt. They are doing what's prescribed by law.

Y'all don't like it... I get that. Everyone wants them to have their hands chopped off or hanged in the public square... but that's not going to happen.

since you were so quick to defend the joke of a sentence. Guess not.

Well, if anyone is genuinely interested, they can always look it up. I'm not the type of person who rushes to provide links and quotes and deep-level research for every Joe online who demands it.

[Evolve Dammit]

88. it was a misdemeanor; many of the case have been reduced to almost nothing. Great job?

[NurseJackie]

89. Thanks. That's pretty much what I figured.

Competent prosecutors are going to make plea deals where appropriate (or where the evidence isn't strong enough for a jury trial) and they're going to pursue the ones where there's enough evidence to get a plea deal. If the case is stronger, then there will be trial.

Honestly, while everyone is fixated on these low-level rioters, there's another story elsewhere on DU that talks about the DOJ and 1/6 committee following this trail much higher up into the government. Those are the ones that I want to see hanged in the public square.

I do understand the emotional need for "revenge" or extrajudicial punishment... but it just makes no sense to demand it and to act as though our judges and prosecutors aren't doing their job.

[Evolve Dammit]

90. I've worked with U.S. Attorneys. They want "low hanging fruit" and some don't work very hard. This

(1/6) may be the biggest "event" in our lifetime and I hate to see those who organized and participated, with intent to overthrow our government get a "slap on the wrist." Knowing, willful and reckless is the definition of criminal conduct and I'd say this MAGAT met those criteria. Nuff said.

[NurseJackie]

92. Be well.

[Evolve Dammit]

103. And you as well!

[Lucky Luciano]

72. Sedition and nothing less

Alternatively, do what would happen if this was an insurrection by Black Lives Matters or the fictitious Antifa.

[Locutusofborg]

73. Many Federal judges have penalized defendants $500 in restitution

for damage to the Capitol. Jenna also has $1,000 fine. Others have larger fines.

[Evolve Dammit]

76. Please give me the guidelines that the conviction calls for cuz it is not even close to deterring.

[NurseJackie]

16. I wonder if her experience will be the same as on "Orange is the New Black".

She's not going to be happy.

But I am.

[DanieRains]

18. White Privilege On Full Display

The MAGA's even expect privilege.

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

19. So

She didn't go to jail. She went to prison. Yay.

[IbogaProject]

20. I hope there is a long post custody supervision for her.

I hope there is a long post custody supervision for her.

[ZonkerHarris]

45. It's Federal Prison so wait until she learn about Supervised Release.

Pre-Release

After federal prison, an inmate is either sent to a federal half-way house, or placed directly on Supervised Release (Federal Probation is reserved for those who never received a prison sentence). An inmate, while in the halfway house, is still under the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons and can therefore be subject to release or relief in the same way they were while incarcerated (see Incarceration). Anything from home-confinement to early release is possible from a half-way house.

Post-Release, and Supervised Release

After full release from the BOP into the hands of the local United States Probation Office, a former federal inmate has potential years of probation 1 to deal with. Supervised release comes with a host of general and specific rules that must be followed, or the supervisee faces more prison time.

When on federal probation or supervised release (after federal prison time is served), the specific rules applied to each individual are unique. Most of the time these rules are lengthy and confusing so violations can occur accidentally by the probationer.

Staff monitored shower facilities, excellent cuisine, and unique social opportunities as you mingle with room mates and neighbors who will be looking to you to lead them to better and more meaningful life.

[Downtown Hound]

22. Slap on the wrist.

Sorry Judge, but this pathetic sentence does absolutely nothing to convince me that these terrorists aren't coddled by our so-called justice system. She deserves a minimum of ten years, as do all of these fascist thugs.

I personally know people who have done more than 60 days for non-violent offenses or just while awaiting trial for non-violent offenses simply because they couldn't afford bail. 60 days for violently attempting to overthrow the U.S. government is pathetic.

I am glad she will at least do some time, but come on, we the people who's democracy and right to vote these assholes tried to violently steal from us, deserve better.

[temporary311]

39. I'm not sure I'd qualify these sentences as wrist slaps.

More like back-pats and encouragements for next time.

23. "But .. but ... "

24. Good. n/t

[SCantiGOP]

25. This may be very good for her

I knew a guy whose uncle was a major asshole, loved guns and hated minorities.
One night he got into a argument with his son-in-law and pulled out a gun while ordering him out of his house. The cops were called and they were required to make an arrest any time they investigated a legitimate case of domestic violence, and since he had the gun he was the one who went to jail for the night.
While no charges were eventually lodged against him, the experience he had that night changed his outlook. He said that some of the poor Hispanic and AA men in his cell were very nice and supportive of him, and he was surprised at some of the minor charges and actions that had caused them to be locked up. His family agreed that his racism and habit of blaming "those people" for everything that was wrong in society decreased significantly after that incident.
Hope she has the same type of education; sounds like she really needs it.

[NJCher]

41. wow, sounds like

this person had his eyes opened and thus got something out of what many people would merely endure.

Love this post!

Just saw the realtor on tv and she is yapping about posting on Twitter. It appears she doesn't even understand what she was sent to prison for.

For those of you who are disappointed in the 60 days, I agree with you; consider this, however. I know from my nonprofit work with the criminal justice system that the worst part of the sentence is the first few months. It is a cultural shock beyond what many of us can even understand. The worst part of a sentence is thinking about how you're going to adjust to that 1 or 2-inch mattress, the no private television, can't text or call anyone, have to listen to all the noise. Not to mention the food.

[SCantiGOP]

56. Agree 100%

Early in my career I was a City Manager and the jail (really just a short term holding facility) came under my justification. Even some of the people who were only there for one night made the same observations as you do. They said it was just knowing that they could not leave, that loss of basic freedom, that was the hardest thing to handle.

[James48]

28. I want her to have some bad days in prison,

Get in trouble, and get her sentence extended for about four or five years.

[zipplewrath]

57. With her attitude

This could easily happen. For one thing a large portion of the population may be less than impressed by someone who is "white and blonde".

[Aviation Pro]

Just ask any Ranger School graduate.

44. Great. Now she'll have time to lift weights, study racism, and yearn for Trumptard.

[elleng]

48. BETTER than jail!!!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

50. Hope she enjoys her stay and gets another great job with cleaning services so she can show off her

blond hair and white skin.

[quakerboy]

51. Na. Judge is talking big and sentancing small

60 days isnt jail. Its a slap on the wrist and a much needed vacation for someone like this.

[Fla Dem]

52. This just goes to show how unbalanced these people are. They stormed the US Capital Building.

But she is convinced she will not be punished because she is privileged, has blond hair and white skin. How delusional and mentally unbalanced do you have to be to think this way? I think quite a bit. Think of all the followers of Jim Jones or Heavens Gate and other non-religious cults. Supposedly sane people believing insane propositions.

[BlueTsunami2018]

53. Yay, I guess.

Two months? She should have gotten two years at least. Is it really even a prison? Or is it one of those federal facilities?

[Initech]

54. Aw, shucky darn, you're going to prison! Bye!

[PSPS]

59. Not prison. Light sentences like this (60 days) are served in jail. More non-punishments as usual.

Light sentences like this are not a deterrent and will encourage such behavior in the future.

[orangecrush]

63. Yup.

[Chille]

77. Correct

I didn’t want to be the one to rain on their parade. She must have been charged with a misdemeanor

[634-5789]

64. Karma comes a'callin'!

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

65. She should get 60 months for trying to overthrow the government.

60 days is a walk in the park for this crime.

[GoodRaisin]

67. Good. She deserves every day of it. I hope she was remanded into custody immediately.

She is really stupid. After being arrested she said she expected a pardon from Trump.

[Sneederbunk]

69. When does her sentence begin?

[Locutusofborg]

74. January

n/t

[Sneederbunk]

75. Tnx. Would not want it interfering with the holidays, now would we?

Hope it starts January 6.

[GoodRaisin]

80. Should've been November 4th. Privilege. Nt

[tanyev]

78. Oh, dear. Orange is probably not a good color on her white skin and blonde hair.

On the other hand, after 60 days that blond hair will most likely be less blond with darker roots showing, so that’s something she can look forward to.

[Pepsidog]

79. Hopefully she won't have a fun time in jail I hope she goes through some shit.

[Person of Interest]

81. Technically, she is correct. She's going to prison but not to jail.

[Josiesdad]

91. There is historical precedent... and apparently, white privilege lives

In 1954 4 armed members of a Puerto Rican freedom movement (aka a Puerto Rican Militia) visited the Gallery of the House of Representatives and opened fire on the Congressmen down on the floor as they were debating an immigration bill. No one died. 3 of the assailants got sentences of 75 years and the other one got 65 years. They were subsequently convicted of the crime of sedition and each got an additional 6 years and that was added on to their original sentence. They did their time at places with names like Alcatraz and Leavenworth. They did not get “Club Fed”.

So... to sum up the total sentences that our justice system meted out for these 4 non-white US citizens that invaded our capitol with malicious intent... they got a total of 314 years.

At the rate we are going, if this sentence is any indication... the total sentences that we will hand out to these white traitors is going to total out to about 115 years (assuming about 700 are found guilty). Granted , there are a lot of assumptions here and the actual and eventual sentences could grow somewhat. But, even if my numbers are off by 50% you can't escape seeing that being white gives you about a 498% advantage when dealing with the justice system even if the system finds you guilty.

Ryan is apparently still active in North Texas real estate. Online records show she is currently working under the name Jennifer Rodgers for a company called First Place Real Estate. On the day she was sentenced, her website had no featured listings.
