A Texas man who stormed the U.S. Capitol dressed in combat gear and carried zip-tie handcuffs into the Senate gallery has been sentenced to two years in prison.
FILE - This undated photo provided by the Grapevine Texas Police Department shows, Larry Rendall Brock Jr. The retired Air Force officer who stormed the U.S. Capitol dressed in combat gear and carried zip-tie handcuffs into the Senate gallery was sentenced on Friday, March 17, 2023, to two years in prison.
Bates convicted Brock in November after a trial without a jury. Brock waived his right to a jury trial. “When we get to the bottom of this conspiracy we need to execute the traitors that are trying to steal the election, and that includes the leaders of the media and social media aiding and abetting the coup plotters," Brock wrote in a Nov. 9. 2020, post on Facebook.
Defense attorney Charles Burnham said it is “inconceivable that was motivated by anything other than genuine concern for democracy.” Brock graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1989. He was on active duty until 1998 and served in the reserves until 2014.
