A man who attacked police officers defending the U.S. Capitol with their own chemical spray on Jan. 6, 2021, has been sentenced to more than 14 years in prison, the longest sentence yet for anyone convicted of participating in the violent pro-Trump riot.
“You were at the front of the line,” Judge Amit P. Mehta said in sentencing Peter Schwartz, 49, of Uniontown, Pa., to 170 months behind bars. “You were a soldier against democracy.”
Schwartz was convicted by a jury in December of four felony counts of assault on law enforcement, obstructing the vote count and related charges. Along with repeatedly turning pepper spray on police, Schwartz threw a metal chair at officers facing the mob at the mouth of a tunnel into the Capitol, causing their line to break. And he joined that mob as it pushed against the police, crushing one officer in a doorway.
The judge said he also took into account Schwartz’s long criminal history — 38 previous convictions, including at least 11 involving violence or threats of violence. At the time of the riot, Schwartz was on probation for domestic abuse and threatening domestic abuse.
His wife was with him on Jan. 6, and in a radio interview after his trial Schwartz said his actions that day were in her defense. She pleaded guilty to assaulting officers with pepper spray and was sentenced to two years in prison. In sentencing papers she said she is in the process of divorcing him.
Prosecutors had asked for 24 years in prison, a sentence that defense attorney Dennis Boyle argued “would give credence to all those who consider this a political prosecution.”
Mehta responded that it was Schwartz who was bolstering that false narrative by giving interviews in which he called the trial a “a sham, in the face of irrefutable video evidence.”
Boyle said the true blame lay with Donald Trump and other “grifters” who convinced “disaffected” people such as Schwartz that the election was stolen. Mehta responded that Schwartz was not feeling powerless on Jan. 6 but gleefully violent, “a warrior.” And Mehta faulted Schwartz for spreading his own lies in claiming he was targeted for being a Christian conservative.
“You can go on these podcasts and claim to be a victim of a political prosecution,” Mehta said. “You are not a political prisoner. You’re not somebody who is standing up to injustice. ... It’s up to you whether you want to take responsibility for your actions.”
The previous longest sentence for someone charged in the insurrection was the 10-year prison term former New York City police officer Thomas Webster received in September. Webster, a former Marine, swung a flagpole at police and tackled an officer before yanking off his gas mask during the riot. A jury found Webster guilty of assaulting a law enforcement officer, obstructing officers and other felonies.

lol. Go to prison for tough guy talk and go to jail for trespassing after being invited in the capital. You can also have the police escort you around the capital and get nearly 4 years. Man, these are some fearsome terrorists. lol

The guy should be punished. 14 years? BS. Like I said if he wanted to riot he should have went to Portland. He would have gotten parole for the same offense.

Portland is indeed soft on crime. In June 2021, a man named Scott Groshong was sentenced to three years of probation and 80 hours of community service after pleading guilty to felony assault and official misconduct. Groshong was a Portland police officer who was accused of driving his unmarked police van into a man during a protest in June 2020. The man was injured in the incident.

Looking at his case I can see why he was treated softly. However, we have the same people night after night in Portland rioting and getting away with it.

Anyone doing the same to Maralago would be treated the same or most likely worse. Anyone who got within spitting distance of Trump would be shot no questions. If you don't understand that the safety of Congress and Presidents/VP is not taken lightly then you can't be helped.

How were they supposed to know she was unarmed? All of these leople should fall down on their knees and thank these cops for not killing more of them. The only reason they didn't was because they don't want the optics of killing a bunch of people at the Capital. Anyone who got within spitting distance of our elected officials from that angry mob was going to be shot. Fact of life dude. You should place the blame where it belongs. If Trump put his big boy pants on and accepted defeat much like Hillary did then the crazy lady would still be alive.

Maybe Republicans should show how much they care by giving that Republican Senator who ran around telling security to "use your guns" the boot.

Tell us you are checked out of reality without telling us you are checked out
LOL! So broken. You love to hold cops responsible until Trump protestors are on the scene just like you're fine with FBI corruption while going after Trump.
The woman was crawling through the window without any weapon visible. As I've shown you before the crowd was 100% peaceful until the cops started launching flash grenades and shooting rubber bullets (at least one head shot in fact) into a packed crowd. Damn right the crowd was mad. Perhaps we also shouldn't have undercover cops at Trump's speech and elsewhere telling people to go to the capital.
Using your insane logic perhaps we should shoot these angry trans activists as well for getting too close to lawmakers. We can't take any chances.
