A professional butcher whose bloody, wild-eyed face became one of the most memorable images of the U.S. Capitol riot was sentenced Thursday to more than seven years in prison for hurling a bow like a spear at police and attacking several other officers.
Wait…this article is confusing, as is the title. I’m assuming the “bow” being referred to is a hunting bow of some sort. So did he just show up with bow, and no arrows, and then throw his bow at police “like a spear”?
Also, why couldn’t they just say he threw/hurled/attacked with the bow? Adding the “like a spear” makes it even more of an odd statement to parse.
This awful timeline is so fucking terribly confusing.
