Alabama MAGA terrorist Lonnie Leroy Coffman, 72, was sentenced by a federal judge Friday to nearly four years in prison after pleading guilty in November to having guns and components to make molotov cocktails stashed in his pickup truck parked near the Capitol during the legitimate political discourse that left five dead on January 6th, 2021, the Associated Press reports.
US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said she waiting for an explanation for why Coffman had “almost a small armory in his truck, ready to do battle,” on the 6th. Coffman wrote in a letter to the judge he had driven alone from Alabama “to try to discover just how true and secure was the (2020 presidential) election. If I had any idea that things would turn out like they did, I would have stayed home.” Coffman did not end up on the Capitol grounds or enter the building during the insurrection, he had been stopped and searched by cops a few blocks away and found to be carrying a pistol and revolver without a DC license. His truck was then searched and found to contain a handgun, a rifle, a shotgun, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a crossbow, machetes, a stun gun and a cooler containing eleven mason jars with holes punched in the lids, per prosecutors. Each jar contained a mixture of gasoline and Styrofoam, which is extra patriotic because it’s non-biodegradable.
