Summary
On this day in 2013, a group of elderly protesters took to the streets of Washington, D.C. to protest the lack of a fair trial for a police officer who shot and killed an Air Force veteran on Capitol Hill. Three years later, that officer, Russell Alfred, was sentenced to a year in prison for simply being part of the crowd and for four misdemeanors. Our guest today, Jake Lang, comes to us from his prison cell.

I'm Lou Dobbs with The Great America Show, midday update for January 6th.
00:00:05.120
An exchange of artillery fire on the Korean Peninsula,
00:00:08.220
then after North Korea's Kim Jong-un shelled disputed territory in South Korea,
00:00:13.440
prompting a return of fire by the Republic of Korea.
00:00:16.980
A lot happening on this, the third year anniversary of the January 6th Capitol Hill demonstrations and riot.
00:00:24.200
Judicial Watch, on behalf of January 6th protester Ashley Babbitt,
00:00:29.120
filing a $30 million wrongful death and negligence lawsuit against the federal government
00:00:35.740
over the Capitol Hill police shooting of the Air Force veteran.
00:00:40.620
The lawsuit claims her killer, Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd,
00:00:45.340
had a record of incompetence, revocations of his firearm privileges for prior dangerous incidents,
00:00:58.660
had his police power suspended more than once for failing to keep up with his firearm proficiency training.
00:01:06.600
The corrupt D.C. federal courts claiming now that even passive conduct by those January 6th protesters
00:01:16.520
That makes sense, doesn't it, in this Orwellian Biden age?
00:01:20.060
D.C. appellate court judge Karen LaCraft Henderson ruled that even though the protester,
00:01:27.280
Russell Alfred, was admittedly neither violent nor destructive,
00:01:34.600
And the appellate judge refused to overturn his one-year prison sentence
00:01:39.280
for simply being part of the crowd and for four misdemeanors.
00:01:43.880
This is outrageous, and the Marxist-dimmed judiciary in this country
00:01:48.160
has to be held accountable for their savage abuse of power against American citizens.
00:01:54.100
Our guest today on The Great America Show is one of those citizens who's been a victim,
00:01:59.600
who's been imprisoned in the D.C. gulag without trial,
00:02:06.320
because he protected elderly protesters from harm
00:02:09.640
in the midst of those Capitol Hill riots three years ago today.
