At her sentencing hearing, Yvonne St Cyr did not express regret or accept any responsibility for her actions on Jan. 6, 2021.

A Jan. 6 defendant who claimed she believed she had the right to climb over broken glass to enter the Capitol was sentenced to 2 and a half years in federal prison on Wednesday.

Yvonne St Cyr — who during her trial in March was found guilty of two felony counts of civil disorder as well as several misdemeanors — was sentenced by U.S. District Judge John Bates to 30 months behinds bars, 36 months of supervised release and a $2,000 restitution to the Architect of the Capitol.

After her trial, St Cyr had said in a Facebook livestream that she wasn’t sure that the case would ever move to sentencing because “the truth” would come out before then.

“Their s—'s gonna blow up!" she said. "So, just keep watching Tucker, keep spreading the truth, keep talking about the corruption, keep sharing, and we will bring the system doooooowwwwn.”

    There are many religious people (at least in Europe) who are occasionally going to church, but other than that harmless, while the other ones are dangerous, because fanatic in their beliefs.

      So religion is a mostly apathetic cult?

      My parents spent their entire lives running around after the church handing out leaflets, setting up or taking down after the various events, organising childcare duties so that people could basically dump their snotty brats on them for a day.

      They never did get any thanks for it. Cults use people, so did the church, they tried to guilt trip my parents into thinking they had to do these things for the church, the fact that it wasn’t overtly evil is mostly simply because it’s been around for so long it’s got boring.

      The church is rolling in money why can’t they pay people to do this stuff? Oh yeah, that’s right because they don’t have to because they have brainwashed people into thinking that it’s about community or something well if it was really about community they’d say thanks at least.

      Also some of the sermons the pastor gave bordered on religious fanatic. Fortunately he’s about 98 and therefore not really a major ongoing concern. But still, the things he advocates for are cultish.
