Subject: Michael Sparks sentenced
So who is this guy and why should I care?

He is the first rioter to breach the Capitol building on January 6, 2021. He went in and hundreds of others followed.

Felony convictions: Obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder.
Misdemeanor convictions: Remaining in a restricted building and disorderly conduct.

Sentence: 53 months in prison, $2000 restitution.

Reporting says that at his sentencing, he expressed no remorse for his actions, only regret on the impacts to his family. He is also sorry that his actions didn't make a difference. The sentence was pretty much what the prosecutors asked for.
