On January 6, 2021, John Strand was working security for Dr. Simone Gold who was invited to speak at events on January 5th and 6th at the US Capitol.
Dr. Gold was an invited guest speaker (along with Representatives Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene) on the east side of the Capitol that day. The speeches were cancelled without notice. There was no stage set up. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Trump supporters who planned to attend the different speeches outside the US Capitol were then seen wandering around looking for the protest stage.
Dr. Simone Gold and John Strand were later both charged with misdemeanors. The Biden DOJ later added the unique §1512c2 charge to hundreds of peaceful protesters. This law had never been used in this way and had with it a 20-year felony “obstruction”.

Dr. Simone Gold told The Gateway Pundit, “We were both offered a single misdemeanor trespass plea. I took the plea. John refused based on the fact that he was innocent. The exact same facts but the Judge gave him 20x the sentence.”
If you want to see the “crime” the attached video compilation (from dozens of cctv videos) is 14 minutes and shows the entire time John Strand was in the Capitol.
On January 6, I protected a woman in a crowd.
On MLK day, I was violently assaulted by FBI & thrown in prison, treated like a terrorist.
On 9.27.22, I was convicted by an openly biased D.C. jury.
On 6.1.23, I was sentenced by a D.C. judge to NEARLY 3 YEARS PRISON

John Strand was sentenced to nearly 3 years (32 months) in prison.
John Strand did nothing wrong.
The Torture and Abuse Continues
Based upon the Bureau of Prison’s own scoring system, using factors such as previous arrests (none), violence (none), sentence length, John should have been sent to a “minimum security camp.” Instead, he was sent to a prison. From inside the prison, he did a respectful interview with Grant Stinchfield on Real America’s Voice. For this the prison threw him into isolation – a cruel and unusual punishment reserved for dangerous situations. This is absolutely outrageous.
