'One of the most violent’ Jan. 6 rioters receives a 20-year prison sentence
A Donald Trump supporter who stood in front of a gallows and spoke of his desire to hang Democratic politicians before he assaulted numerous police officers during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison Friday.
It’s the second-longest sentence handed out in a Jan. 6 case to date.
According to prosecutors, Dempsey climbed over fellow rioters "like human scaffolding" and used "his hands, feet, flag poles, crutches, pepper spray, broken pieces of furniture, and anything else he could get his hands on" as weapons against police officers.
Witnesses in court said that Dempsey, while being led out of court, appeared to flash an “okay” gesture with his fingers that has in recent years become a symbol of white supremacy and far-right causes.
Dempsey, who prosecutors say is a former construction worker and fast-food employee with a "very significant history of arrests and convictions.
