A judge sentenced a Capitol rioter to seven years in prison, calling Kyle Young of Iowa a “one man wrecking ball” who helped in a sustained assault on D.C. police officer Michael Fanone.
Fanone told the court of the near-death experience he endured at the hands of the rioters in which he was beaten and repeatedly shocked with a stun gun. Young admitted to handing a stun gun to another rioter who used it on Fanone, and of grabbing the officer’s hand as he struggled to protect himself from the attacking mob.He told Jackson that Young should get 10 years in prison.
Body camera footage from D.C. police officer Michael Fanone shows him pleading for help after being Tasered and beaten by rioters at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Fanone was among the officers who testified before the U.S. House Committee that’s investigating the insurrection about the violence they experienced that day. Fanone told House investigators that he was “grabbed, beaten, tased, all while being called a traitor to my country.” That assault on him, which stopped only when he said he had children, caused him to have a heart attack.
He went to the Capitol with his 16-year-old son and video played by federal prosecutors indicated Young took part during fighting on the Capitol’s lower west terrace, including at one point throwing a heavy speaker that hit another rioter, drawing blood. He used a strobe light to blind fighting officers and at one point gave it to his son, allowing him to directly participate in the fighting, a point the judge used to illustrate her disgust at his actions that day.
