Fox News
David Joseph Gietzen, a North Carolina man who assaulted a police officer with a pole during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, has been sentenced to 6 years in prison.
Gietzen told U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols that he didn't intend to hurt anybody that day. But he didn't express any regret or remorse for his actions on Jan. 6, when he joined a mob of Donald Trump supporters in interrupting the joint session of Congress for certifying President Joe Biden's 2020 electoral victory.
"I have to make it explicitly known that I believe I did the right thing," he said before learning his sentence.
