An Indiana woman who called the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol the “best f---ing day ever” has been handed jail time.
Dona Sue Bissey was sentenced on Tuesday to 14 days of incarceration and 60 hours of community service, according to court records. She will also have to pay $500 in restitution.
Bissey pleaded guilty in July to a single charge of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. Three other charges against her were dropped as part of the agreement.
Bissey and her friend, Anna Morgan-Lloyd, went to the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the riot. The pair entered the Capitol but were inside for no more than 10 minutes before leaving.
According to court documents, authorities were tipped off to Bissey and Morgan-Lloyd from witnesses who saw photos and videos of the women that Bissey posted on Facebook.
One photo showed Bissey and Morgan-Lloyd inside the Capitol, and the caption read “Inside Capitol Building.” In a comment thread under the post, Bissey said “best f---ing day ever!! I’ll never forget. We got into the Capitol Building.”
Morgan-Lloyd was sentenced to three years of probation, $500 in restitution and 40 hours of community service in June after pleading guilty to the same charge Bissey pleaded to. Prosecutors asked the court to impose the same sentence on Bissey.
But Bissey’s public defender argued in a court document last week that the sentence was too harsh, saying that she has been “chastised on the street and her business shunned” since she was arrested in February.
During a Tuesday hearing, prosecutors asked the court to consider the social media posts when considering the sentence, as well has her belief in conspiracy theories. But U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said she gave Bissey the sentence because Bissey bragged about her participation in the riots, The Associated Press reported.
“The fact that she subscribes to bizarre conspiracy theories, that's her right. That's something she is allowed to do as an American,” Chutkan said, according to the outlet.
When is this going to stop?
It is not. It will get worse though. We should have fought when we had the chance.
It’s a joke.
They spend millions to jail them for “parading”?
Might as well for blasphemy or heresy.
How many times has Code Pink disrupted events in the Capitol?
What about the Handmaids’ Tale nuts during the Kavanaugh hearings?

>> Bissey said “best f-—ing day ever!! I’ll never forget. We got into the Capitol Building.”
They were let into the building...
The “siege” was staged — all of it.
The disparities are irrelevant.
This is all about the Rats attempting to kick Trump in the nuts.
As far as I am concerned, Bissy is a hero and Patriot. The bitch judge is a traitor and doesn't even rate being pissed on.
I would hope that Chutkan dies from cirrhosis of the liver after a long illness.
Riot eh? I pretty much stopped reading right there.
Ashley Babbitt was murdered that day.
Jailed and fined for peacefully assembling and petitioning for redress of vote fraud.
Government of the people, by the people and for the people. Yeah right.
Jan 6th was a setup. It gave cover for wavering RINOs in Congress to accept the Electoral College vote that night instead of challenging the votes from several states.
Patriots found out that family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and acquaintances were more then happy to turn them into the FBI.
Patriots also found out that they are on their own after the fact. Don’t expect any outside support. Some have to rely on public defenders and they plead guilty to lesser charges because they don’t have the personal resources to go the distance.
The latter two points is intended to give other patriots pause. If you stand up for what is right, you are on your own and you can’t trust anyone.
1/6 should have taken place in multiple capitals and continued for months . Until the results of the totally fraudulent election were overturned nationwide . We are living in the aftermath of the failure to do that, we let it go , we let them get away with it and now we will pay the ultimate cost. For a long time. There is no substitute for victory.
And cremated within 48 hours...
It was the best day! I watched it live on my computers my he in Louisiana!!
📌
In numbers is the way forward, in mass is the way forward, using the same harassment tactics with no letting up is the way forward. They need to know who’s boss
14 days for a fake insurrection....
I’m guessing fake treason would be 3 weeks
The Haitian Voodoo Queen throws white Anericans into dungeons for...walking into the Capitol.
These "witnesses" saw the videos online? Government/media defines "witness" as someone who watches an online video after the fact?????????
