Ian Benjamin Rogers and Jarrod Copeland pleaded guilty to plotting to firebomb the Democratic HQ and other buildings after the 2020 election defeat of Donald Trump.
Ian Benjamin Rogers, of Napa, was sentenced to nine years in prison as part of a plea agreement. He pleaded guilty last year to conspiring to destroy the building in Sacramento by fire or explosives, possessing an explosive device and possessing a machine gun.Rogers’ co-defendant, Jarrod Copeland, was sentenced to three years in prison after a brief closed hearing, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Rogers told the judge Wednesday he was fighting a drinking problem that was exacerbated by the pandemic when he saw his business revenue drop by 40%. “While we’ve sadly become pretty accustomed to the red-hot political rhetoric of today’s political landscape, we were certainly shocked to see that the party was the intended target for political violence,” Hicks said.Hicks said he agreed with the plea deal because the party “has had a long-standing commitment to restorative justice and a deeply held belief in the power and the possibility of redemption for every single person.
