The pro-Trump rioter who marched through the halls of Congress while wielding a Confederate flag on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced to 36 months behind bars on Thursday, more than two years after photos of him became some of the most widely recognized images of the attack on the Capitol.

Kevin Seefried, 53, was convicted in June 2022 after a bench trial before Judge Trevor McFadden of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who found him of multiple charges, including obstructing Congress, entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct and unlawful parading. His son, Hunter, was also convicted on the obstruction charge, but acquitted on other counts. Hunter was sentenced to two years in prison last year.

McFadden handed down the elder Seefried's three-year sentence in court on Thursday, calling his conduct "outrageous" and "especially shocking." Seefried, who must also serve one year on probation upon his release, told the judge he "crossed the line" and regretted his actions.
The sentence was shorter than the 70 months, or nearly six years, that prosecutors had sought.

If the judge thought his conduct was "outrageous" and "especially shocking," I don't get why he only got sentenced to 36 months instead of the 70 months the prosecution was asking for. Judge McFadden is a Trump appointee, though, and has been known to give lighter sentences.

Flying the confederate flag alone should be a life sentence.

And look at the folds in the flag that is new. He got a New Confedrate flag just to raid Washington.
