South Jersey man sentenced for his role in U.S. Capitol riot

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A South Jersey man will be incarcerated for 14 days for his role in the January 2021 U.S. Capitol riot.

But Marcos Panayiotou, 30, of Wrightstown can serve that term “intermittently,” or divided into smaller periods, a federal judge has ruled.

Panayiotou also received a three-year probationary term Tuesday from U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich in Washington, D.C.

The judge also ordered Panayiotou to pay a $1,500 fine and $500 in restitution.

. . . where a coup attempt has failed, those who plot or carry out the coup suffer one of three fates:

1. Execution. Sometimes on the spot, immediately.
2. Jail. For a long time.
3. Exile. Expel from the country, do not let them return home.

I'm a proponent of #1 but that's just me. You may have more of the Milk of Human Kindness.
