Pardoned Trump Jan 6 Rioter Gets 7 Years For Burglary

Sunday, May 10, 2026

A convicted participant in the 6 January 2021 US Capitol attack who was pardoned at the start of Donald Trump's second presidency has been ordered to serve seven years in prison after a jury found him guilty of committing a burglary in Virginia in May 2025.

Zachary Alam, 34, had previously drawn one of the stiffest prison sentences " eight years " for his hand in the violence carried out at the US Capitol in Washington DC by supporters of Trump after his first presidency ended in defeat to Joe Biden after the 2020 White House election.

The judge who sentenced Alam after he was declared guilty in that case mentioned how officers regarded him as "by far the loudest, the most combative and the most violent of the rioters" at the Capitol that day.

Alam was convicted in federal court of eight felonies " including assaulting law enforcement " and three misdemeanors for his role in the attack.

Witnesses said he broke the glass of a door through which insurrectionist Ashli Babbit climbed before she was shot dead by an officer defending the US House chambers.

The Trump administration later reached a $5m settlement to settle a wrongful death lawsuit filed by his slain supporter's family.

At Alam's US Capitol attack trial, prosecutors outlined how he was among the first of a mob that entered the building from its west lawn and hurled items at police from a balcony.

He also used a helmet to shatter three glass panes in the door through which Babbitt was fatally shot before leaving while urging others to come back later with guns.

Fine example of real Republican "manhood."

This MAGAt mug just might have a future at a rank equivalent to a SS-Rottenfuhrer in the old Waffen-SS if he hooks up with Trump's mob at ICE.

#4 He also looks like any MAGA going to the border to fight the "invasion."

Why is it that everything to you is through the filter of Bibi, Israel, and your clear hatred of ...

... well, I'll leave that to others to judge.

But Effeteposer doesn't seem to have a problem calling his "POV" what it is...

"RICH JEWS BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE."

Israel claims to Represent and Be the Homeland of all Jews.

They call it Antisemitic if you don't agree.

So which is it?

Antisemitic to think Israel stands for all Jews, or Not?

Or is ANY Criticism of Jews or Israel Antisemitic?

It's hard to know what's acceptable to the Thought police.

Mr. FRIEND can you help us out?

You being so Expert on what's Antisemitic and All.

#5 You have Admit, Rich Jews DO get Better Representation at All Levels than Everyone Else.

They Talk, Government Listens. Policy on a Bipartisan level is responsive to their Desires. We Even PAY Israel to Kill People. They get great Free Money,and they're Not Even Americans

It's Also Totally Socially Unacceptable to Notice this.

How PRIVILEGED is That?

Pictures are not Arguments.

They are distractions.

Israel commits Monstrous Crimes Every Day.

They openly Boast about how Savvy they are at Deception and Murder.

They Claim to be the Nexus of all Jews.

Then anyone who is outraged by this gets Labelled and Cancelled.

WTF?

Maybe people hate Israel for Good Reason and that hate is Harming Innocent Jews because Israel insists it's the Cultural Center of all Jews.

Dispora may have been Safer after All.

I used Google Translate with my phone camera to read the captions.

Jews as a race aren't the problem in today's world.

The right wing Zionists are!
