Insurrectionist who stormed Capitol with gun gets 7 years

Journal by DeathMonkey

The first Capitol rioter to go on trial was ordered to spend more than seven years behind bars -- the longest sentence yet in a Jan. 6 case -- for obstructing Congress and threatening his two children to keep them quiet, among other crimes.

Guy Reffitt, a Texas member of the Three Percenters militia group, was sentenced Monday by US District Judge Dabney Friedrich in Washington. He was convicted by a jury in March.
