LOL! Some insurrection, eh. $1.5 million in damage. Heh. Unlike the first month of BLM and Antifa which cause $2 billion in damages.
But ya gotta love how they keep using the term "insurrection".
The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6 caused an estimated $1.5 million in property damage - and prosecutors want defendants who are pleading guilty to riot-related charges to help foot the bill, according to a new report in the Washington Post.
Since January 6, over 500 defendants have been hit with federal charges in connection with the riots, according to an Insider database. The most common charges include unlawfully entering and staying on government property, engaging in violence, disruptive and disorderly conduct, and obstruction of Congress.
As more and more defendants take plea bargains, prosecutors are starting to negotiate financial restitution for the damage done during the insurrection in the plea agreements - even for those not pleading guilty to committing violence against government property.
At least one defendant who recently pleaded guilty to one count of obstructing an official proceeding, Paul Hodgkins, agreed to pay $2,000 in restitution for damage done to the Capitol.
