DOJ Seeks 120-Day Riot Sentence For Infowars Host

September 6, 2023 Extremists, Trump cultists

From the Justice Department filing issued yesterday:



In the months prior to January 6, Shroyer spread election disinformation paired with violent rhetoric to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of viewers. He presciently warned in November 2020 that, if Joe Biden became president, “it’s not going to be a million peaceful marchers in D.C.”

And on Jan. 6, 2021, Shroyer took to a megaphone before leading a crowd to the Capitol: ‘The Democrats are posing as communists, but we know who they really are: they’re just tyrants. And so today, on January 6, we declare death to tyranny! Death to tyrants!”

Shroyer did not stop at the sight of tear gas or sounds of explosions on the west side of the Capitol. He continued marching around to the top of the east steps chanting “1776!” where rioters would eventually breach the Capitol and its police line and halt the transfer of presidential power.

Shroyer did not step foot inside the Capitol, he did not need to; many of those who listened to him did instead. In the aftermath, he has blamed ‘Antifa’ and told his followers: “We should be proud of what happened.”

Shroyer helped create January 6. The government respectfully requests that this Court sentence him to 120 days of incarceration, 12 months of supervised release, 60 hours of community service and $500 in restitution.
