Capitol protester, who trained for combat with paintball fights, gets over 4 years in prison

Edward Badalian, a California man who trained with paintball fights in preparation for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, has been sentenced to more than four years in prison.

"He trained, collected weapons, and traveled across the country for the riot, with the goal of arresting and 'violently removing' politicians he disagreed with," prosecutors wrote in a court filing.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Badalian, 29, of Panorama City, California, to four years and three months of incarceration, according to a Justice Department news release.
