Nazi Proud Boy Rioter Sentenced To Four More Years

May 9, 2023 Extremists, Trump cultists

A military veteran who espoused antisemitic views was sentenced to four years in prison Monday on felony and misdemeanor charges stemming from the Capitol riot.

Hatchet Speed of Vienna, Virginia, a former Navy reservist who had a “top secret” security clearance and worked for a defense contractor on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced in Washington, D.C., for obstructing Congress’ certification of the 2020 presidential election results.

According to a sentencing memo, Speed, 42, joined the Proud Boys around June 2020, praising perceived parallels between the far-right extremist group and pro-Nazi paramilitary forces used during Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. He claimed that both groups were used to stop antifa, which he believed was controlled by the Jewish community.
