A Maryland man who was among the youngest people charged with participating in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has been sentenced to nearly three years in prison.
Matthew Ryan Miller, 23, threw multiple objects at law enforcement as he shouted and encouraged the crowd around him to keep pushing forward against an already-overwhelmed police force. He waved fellow rioters toward the tunnel on the Lower West Terrace, where he shouted Come on! as the crowd changed Heave! Ho! and rocked back and forth to push against the officers trying to protect the Capitol from the swarm of Donald Trump supporters angry over Joe Bidens win in the 2020 presidential election.
According to prosecutors, Miller was draped in a Confederate flag at the time.

(25,688 posts)If not they will continue to plot and plan for the take over of the US Gov't and attacks on minority groups and other groups they see as threats to the White sovereignty of the United States while in prison.
Authorities should also do a through background check on any prision guard or employee that will have ongoing contact with these traitors to ensure they have no affiliation with any facist or white supremacy group or organization like the Proud Boy and Oath Keepers, or any other group that espouse hate toward any group other than White Heterosexual males.
Hate Groups in US.
