Tyler Dykes, 26, who said at sentencing he is supporting Trump to be president, pleaded guilty to assault charges
A Marine who stormed the US Capitol and apparently flashed a Nazi salute in front of the building was sentenced on Friday to nearly five years in prison.
Tyler Bradley Dykes, of South Carolina, was an active-duty US marine when he grabbed a police riot shield from the hands of two police officers and used it to push his way through police lines during the attack by a mob of Donald Trump’s supporters on 6 January 2021.
Dykes, who pleaded guilty in April to assault charges, was previously convicted of a crime stemming from the 2017 white nationalist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Dykes was transferred to federal custody in 2023 after he served a six-month sentence in a state prison.
US district judge Beryl Howell sentenced Dykes, 26, to four years and nine months of imprisonment, the justice department said.
If you’re white, the cops just keep your drugs and leave it out of the report.

Depends somewhat on how many minorities there are around to harass. Otherwise they turn to poor teenagers who have a joint in their pocket even if they’re white.
That’s fair. They do have a quota to meet after all.
