<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/infowars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">InfoWars</a> host Owen Shroyer received a 60-day sentence in prison on Tuesday for his role in the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6 that prosecutors claim he &#8220;helped create.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In the months prior to January 6, Shroyer spread election disinformation paired with violent rhetoric to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of viewers,&#8221; prosecutors wrote in <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.234903/gov.uscourts.dcd.234903.49.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">court filings</a>.</p>
<p>Shroyer, the 34-year-old host of &#8220;The War Room With Owen Shroyer&#8221; on Alex Jones&#8217; media platform, never entered the federal building on that infamous day, but was still punished by prosecutors because he previously signed a deferred prosecution agreement after interrupting a House Judiciary Committee hearing for then-President Trump&#8217;s impeachment proceedings hearing in 2019.</p>
<p>As part of the agreement, Shroyer consented not to &#8220;utter loud, threatening, or abusive language or engage in any disorderly or disruptive conduct&#8221; anywhere on the United States Capitol Grounds or within any of the Capitol Buildings.</p>
<p>But according to court filings, Shroyer warned in November 2020 that if Joe Biden became president, &#8220;it&#8217;s not going to be a million peaceful marchers in D.C.&#8221; Then, on January 6, the media personality took to a megaphone before leading a crowd to the Capitol.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Democrats are posing as communists, but we know what they really are,&#8221; Shroyer said on a bullhorn, according to court filings. &#8220;They&#8217;re just tyrants, they&#8217;re tyrants. And so today, on January 6, we declare death to tyranny! Death to tyrants!&#8221;</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://apnews.com/article/owen-shroyer-infowars-capitol-riot-sentencing-11cb087e9716061591fd46b6861c4c1c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Associated Press</a>, Shroyer pleaded guilty in June to illegally entering a restricted area, a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum sentence of one year behind bars.</p>
<p>During Tuesday&#8217;s sentencing hearing, NBC <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/infowars-host-owen-shroyer-sentenced-jan-6-case-rcna104378" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Shroyer told the court, &#8220;I was not a part of any larger plan for illegal activity or violence that day.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was to get the attention and draw the crowds away,&#8221; he said, according to The Associated Press.</p>
<p>U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, who just last week handed down a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/enrique-tarrio-sentenced-to-decades-behind-bars-the-longest-j6-sentence-to-date" target="_blank" rel="noopener">22-year sentence</a> in federal prison to Proud Boys founder Enrique Tarrio for his role in the Capitol breach, told the InfoWars host that he &#8220;amped up&#8221; the crowd on the Capitol steps.</p>
<p>&#8220;Context is everything,&#8221; the judge said. &#8220;I do not believe that you were trying to distract the crowd or turn the crowd away from the Capitol.&#8221;</p>
<p>Prosecutors asked the court to sentence Shroyer to 120 days in prison, including 12 months of supervised release, 60 hours of community service, and $500 in restitution.</p>
<p>&#8220;Such a sentence protects the community, promotes respect for the law, and deters future crime by imposing restrictions on his liberty as a consequence of his behavior, while recognizing his acceptance of responsibility for his crime,&#8221; the prosecution wrote.</p>
<p>Shroyer&#8217;s defense team requested in <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.234903/gov.uscourts.dcd.234903.46.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">court filings</a> on Sunday that the judge spare him incarceration, saying the case had been &#8220;characterized by a cooperative spirit between the defense and the Government,&#8221; adding their client complied with federal inspectors to search his cell phone without a warrant.</p>
<p>&#8220;But when Mr. Shroyer appeared at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, he wore two hats: one was that of outraged citizen who believed that an election had been rigged, the other as full-time journalist and commentator who sought a front-row seat at an historic event,&#8221; the defense wrote.</p>
<p>Defense attorney Norm Pattis for Shroyer said he planned to appeal the sentence and has repeatedly accused prosecutors of infringing on his client&#8217;s First Amendment rights.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mr. Shroyer, and every person capable of speaking in the United States, has a right to utter the speech Mr. Shroyer used. That the Government would suggest otherwise is a frightening commentary on our times,&#8221; Pattis wrote in a court filing on Sunday.</p>
<p>But prosecutors argue the charges against Shroyer do not infringe on his free speech rights.</p>
<p>&#8220;Shroyer cannot light a fire near a can of gasoline, and then express concern or disbelief when it explodes,&#8221; they wrote.</p>
<p>A date was not immediately set for Shroyer to report to prison.</p>
<p>The Associated Press reported that Shroyer joins more than 1,100 people charged with Capitol breach-related federal crimes, of which over 650 have pleaded guilty, more than 600 were sentenced, and half received terms ranging from three days to 22 years.</p>
