Nicholas Languerand, a 26-year-old who has identified himself as a believer in the QAnon conspiracy theory, was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison Wednesday for assaulting police officers during the January 6 Capitol riot in a hearing that saw the judge sentencing him say the January 6 rioters do not deserve to be described as "patriots," as that description applies to the officers he assaulted.
"The patriots were the police officers who were defending the Capitol building and our democratic values," U.S. District Judge John Bates said, according to The Associated Press.
The conspiracy theory played a significant role in Languerand being at the Capitol. His lawyer said he lost his job in late 2020 and in the weeks following he spent a significant portion of his time consuming online content about QAnon and the far-right extremist group the Proud Boys, the AP reported.

Adolf Hitler Attempts a Coup, 1923
The "Beer Hall Putsch
By Jennifer Rosenberg
Updated November 25, 2019
Ten years before Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany, he tried to take power by force during the Beer Hall Putsch. On the night of November 8, 1923, Hitler and some of his Nazi confederates stormed into a Munich beer hall and attempted to force the triumvirate, the three men that governed Bavaria, to join him in a national revolution. The men of the triumvirate initially agreed since they were being held at gunpoint, but then denounced the coup as soon as they were allowed to leave.
