OPINION | 'Make no mistake, the rioters in Washington D.C. were not exercising their constitutional rights.'
Notably, however, White’s sentence is harsher than any of the more than 200 sentences delivered to any Jan. 6 Capitol rioter to date.in January this year, the median prison sentence for the January 6th rioters is a mere 45 days.
America has had a rich tradition of civil disobedience; peaceful assemblies that changed history as they disobeyed immoral laws. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested 30 times for things like disobeying a police officer, loitering and participating in a sit-in at an all-white Atlanta lunch counter. Congressman John Lewis was arrested 40 times over the span of less than a decade.
Obviously, there are vast differences in culpability between violent and non-violent offenders, but in either scenario, the stakes involved in an attempted coup should merit special consideration. Some of the sentences have been so lenient, that judges have called out the Department of Justice for being too soft.
