A man who attacked an Associated Press photographer and threw a flagpole and smoke grenade at police officers guarding the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced on Friday to five years in prison.

Rodney Milstreed, 56, of Finksburg, Maryland, “prepared himself for battle” on Jan. 6 by injecting steroids and arming himself with a four-foot wooden club disguised as a flagpole, prosecutors said.

“He began taking steroids in the weeks leading up to January 6, so that he would be ‘jacked’ and ready because, he said, someone needed to ‘hang for treason’ and the battle might come down to hand-to-hand combat,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing.

    These dipshits have seen too many movies. What a dumb sack of shit. This moron was injecting steroids to prep for Jan 6, he seriously just wanted to play action hero and “save the government” like he’s goddamn Bruce Willis. These idiots are so fucking stupid. Like, so stupid they can’t help but ruin their own lives and fuck up the lives of those around them. Sad it’s such a short sentence because he is still going to be searingly stupid when he gets out.
