Bucks County, Pennsylvania resident Leonard Pearson “Pearce” Ridge IV was 19 years old when he drove to Washington, D.C. to participate in the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, that resulted in more than 140 police officers injured and damages upward of $1.5 million.

The now 20-year-old has been sentenced to 14 days in prison, despite his lawyer's argument that his brain may not have been fully developed to understand the crimes he was committing, The New York Post reported.

Ridge was responsible for breaking open the doors to the offices of Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). He also admitted to spending nearly 40 minutes inside the U.S. Capitol.

What kind of community service does he have to attend...100 hrs on the blackboard and write That I will not be an insurrectionist POS anymore....or does he have to watch the Kyle Rittenhouse method of sobbing........

1. 14 days, what bullshit.

democracy was attacked, people died, but the cute white blond boy cries and gets 14 days. Fuck Him, I hope its a hard 14.

2. I'd be ok with 100 hrs of community service if that service is cleaning highway rest stop bathrooms

for 100 hrs.

3. Yes, I think there are reasons for leniency, and a couple thou fine on each and every would

have been quite appropriate. Stealing a loaf of bread would incur higher jail time.
