“Federal prosecutors say an infamous Capitol attack defendant who traveled to Washington on a private plane and called Jan. 6 ‘one of the best days of my life’ should spend time in prison, in part because she didn’t think she would. Jenna Ryan was arrested in January after she openly bragged about her exploits at the Capitol on social media, livestreaming on Facebook from inside the building and tweeting a photo of herself standing at a broken window, captioning it ‘if the news doesn’t stop lying about us we’re going to come after their studios next…'”

“Ahead of Ryan’s sentencing this week, federal prosecutors said she should spend 60 days in prison because she knew the day could turn violent and said she was ‘going to war,’ spread false information about the riot, lied about her participation in the riot, and ‘sought to exploit her presence during the attack on the Capitol for profit.’ The Justice Department’s sentencing memo says that Ryan was ‘publicly cheerleading’ a violent attack that ‘forced an interruption of the certification of the 2020 Electoral College vote count, threatened the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 Presidential election, injured more than one hundred law enforcement officers, and resulted in more than a million dollars’ worth of property damage.’ Moreover, the government said, Ryan’s tweet stating she had ‘blonde hair white skin a great job a great future and I’m not going to jail’ showed she thought she was immune from punishment for her crimes because of her race and physical appearance. ‘A defendant who believes she is immune from strict punishment because of her race and physical appearance may reoffend because the consequences for wrongdoing will never, in the defendant’s mind, be severe even when severity is merited,’ prosecutors write. ‘Perhaps the most compelling need for specific deterrence arises from the defendant’s misguided belief that she is above the law, or at least insulated from incarceration'” – Huffington Post.
