David Dempsey assaulted officers on Jan. 6 and stood in front of a gallows, where he called for politicians to be hanged. His is among the longest Capitol riot sentences yet.

Clearly should’ve been a life sentence. This piece of shit tried to violently overthrow the US government and overturn the results of a fair election. In doing so he violated the rights of the American people and he is clearly remorseless. He does not deserve to enjoy the luxury of participating in our society again when he’s 57. (Although this article doesn’t mention it, he’s 37)
