According to Fox News<\/a>, Dane Powell was sentenced to four months in jail for his part in riots in the nation’s capital on Inauguration Day;<\/p>\n

Dane Powell, 31, was captured on video carrying a black flag while throwing rocks and bricks at D.C. police officers and shattering store windows during the 30-minute riot that spanned 16 city blocks, prosecutors said. He was also dressed in black and had part of his face covered.<\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Kerkhoff said Powell was spotted in Logan Circle the day before President Trump’s inauguration with gas masks and carrying the same black flag seen in the video, the Tampa Bay Times reported.<\/p>\n

“He initiated violence,” Kerkhoff said. “He came to the District of Columbia to engage in violence by hiding his face, throwing rocks and running. He’s a violent coward.”<\/p>\n

Kerkhoff called Powell “among the most violent” of the defendants that participated in the riot.<\/p>\n

“He was throwing rocks and bricks at windows where people, customers and children were inside,” she said. “He charged the police line with bricks.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His LinkedIn<\/a> profile says that he is an Army veteran and that he was stationed in Japan, Germany and Fort Drum as a Computer and Information Systems Manager.<\/p>\n

Powell asked for leniency from the court. He asked for “forgiveness for anyone who was scared, hurt or felt threatened.” His lawyer claimed that he came to DC to protest peacefully, but then he didn’t – “He got carried away”. Six police officers were injured during the rioting and 234 stank-ass hippies were arrested. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
