A Colorado man who allegedly hit a police officer with a 2x4 wooden plank during the Jan. 6 riot was sentenced Friday to nearly three years in prison.
Jacob Travis Clark of Colorado Springs was sentenced to 33 months in prison, followed by 12 months of supervised release, the Justice Department said in a news release.
Clark had requested nine months in prison and a period of supervised release, according to a sentencing memo written by his lawyer that said Clark “regretted his actions by January 7th.”
During a bench trial in Washington, D.C., this year, Clark was found guilty of obstructing an official proceeding, a felony, as well as five misdemeanor counts related to his conduct at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

I don’t see anything in the article about a dolphin.
Three years for a terrorist assaulting a police officer during a deadly attack on the Capitol building in an effort to overthrow the government.
At least he won’t be legally permitted to own a gun ever again. Probably won’t stop him, but it’s better than nothing?
Will he be allowed to own a plank though?

In a 2 x 4 metre cell
Throw an American alt-right insurrectionist the metric system as additional punishment, brilliant.
I know that was a joke but I’m now trying to figure out how a governing body would define a “plank” in this instance.
Traitor cunt should have gotten 30 years
Good thing he wasn’t a black child walking with a backpack! THAT would have granted almost a LIFETIME behind bars!
If he survives the encounter with the police.
Keep the convictions coming. Every single dope deserves it.
The right should be celebrating this, another antifa double agent behind bars!
This pleases me greatly. Each and every one of these losers is a danger to society.
Do we know who brought the gallows?
NEARLY THREE YEARS WOW NEARLY NEARLY NEARLY

It is my understanding that a “plank” must be at least 10 inches wide. Below 10 inches wide, it’s called a “board.”
Not all of us are from the USA. I’ve watched enough American movies to understand what a 2x4 is but it’s not a universal thing.
