Infowars host Owen Shroyer, who was sentenced last month to 60 days in prison in relation to events of Jan. 6, 2021 despite not having entered the Capitol building on that fateful day, has been ordered by the federal government to turn himself over to federal prison tomorrow, on Tuesday.
“Owen Shroyer here, and I’m about to turn myself in to be a speech prisoner in Biden’s America,” Shroyer began in a video he posted to address the situation.
“Unfortunately, we knew that things would get this bad. Unfortunately, we knew the Democrats were this corrupt. Now I have hit to the frontlines and be a speech prisoner in Biden’s America.”
Shroyer added that he is currently in litigation to once again receive access to his original Twitter account, @allidoisowen, where he says he had over 300,000 followers.
While Shroyer is away, his media team-operated @OwenShroyer1776 account will be giving updates on his situation while he is incarcerated.
Shroyer encouraged viewers to share his video message far and wide.
“That year 1776 is extremely important not just because it was the founding year of our country, but the US government is arguing that it’s illegal for me to say 1776 in Washington, DC,” he explained.
“Don’t believe me?” Shroyer asked. “Check the US government sentencing memo for yourself. They said that me chanting ‘1776’ in Washington, DC is worthy of 60 days in prison.”
This 60-day sentence that Shroyer will now serve was handed down by US District Judge Timothy Kelly, who also gave Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio 22 years in prison.
Shroyer did not enter the Capitol building on Jan 6. 2021; he had only addressed a crowd outside the building.
Prosecutors who had attempted to get Shroyer locked up for double the amount of time seen in his sentence claimed he had “spread election disinformation paired with violent rhetoric” to people prior to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
“Shroyer did not step foot inside the Capitol, he did not need to; many of those who listened to him did instead,” they wrote. “In the aftermath, he has blamed ‘Antifa’ and told his followers: ‘We should have been proud of what happened.'”
The Department of Justice seemingly condemned Shroyer for his speech; it wrote that he “stoked the flames of a potential disruption of the certification vote by streaming disinformation about alleged voter fraud and a stolen election to thousands, perhaps millions, of viewers of his program on InfoWars.”
Owen Shroyer is about to face 60 days in jail for his free speech.
Disheartening to see where we’re at as a country.

What is next for the democrats? Put you in jail for “NOT” being a sexual pervert like most good democrats seem to be?
Dictatorship from Biden and his cronies. To shut up the truth and to discourage others to speak out about the truth.
Where the hell are all the republicans? One of them should have gotten this man released! It’s friggin bullshit and now the Jihad Squad is inciting traitors to riot in protest for Hamas but NOONE IS BEING ARRESTED AND IF they WERE THEYD get A SLAP ON THE WRIST?? In The mean time Joe Fuckup is letting in Hamas members, Chinese men and Palestinians into this country by the droves!! They’re going to rip us all from our beds and murder us in the streets just like they did to the Jews in Israel!!
Wait, Am I reading this right? This guy despite not having entered the Capitol building got a 60 days sentencing for “speech”? Are you Fn kidding me. This Country has turned into shit in a handbasket.
We all know, The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition.
This forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices. It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely.
So a rogue Judge doesn’t have to follow the constitution or an Oath?
Total bull shit!
