Law Capitol Rioter Megathread

[cincymma79]

Attacking the Capitol is a bit more serious than regular street crime. It's a direct attack on democracy. If these people had been Marxists you'd want to throw the book at them.

I think the sentence is about right. Fuck em for being dummies, but don't bury them

Prison costs tax dollars. Dude's a non-violent offender. Fines and community service seem more appropriate.

Scammers and conmen can also be non violent offenders, yet they can steal tens of millions. They should serve many years behind bars. This guy was part of a mob that tried to stop the electoral college certifying Biden, that is a pretty serious issue.

"I wish to state that I completely acknowledge and accept that Joseph R. Biden Jr. is rightfully and respectfully the president of the United States," Hodgkins said. "To put things in short, I allowed myself to put passion before my principles, which resulted in me violating the law for the first time in my life -- a thing which I definitely feel shame for, and something that I vow never to let happen again."

Such a creepy sounding confession.
Like something you'd expect out of North Korea.

Wow, this guy just lost any chance at getting a lesser sentence by trying to represent himself.

What in God's name does he think he has to offer in a plea deal? The prosecutor must be having a field day with this one, and will only need to put in 1/10th of an effort to prosecute since the defendant is representing himself and will undoubtedly incriminate himself throughout the process, and probably piss off the judge on numerous occasions.

These people are some of the dumbest in American society yet they think they're so smart.

Yep.

Because stealing a TV from Wal-Mart is totally the same thing as interrupting a national election and attempting to install a would-be dictator.

Did this guy just create a new euphemism?

Those mouth breathers should be happy they tried to over throw the US government and not some 3rd world.
Fail at over throwing a 3rd world shit hole you watch your family die before they kill
You.
Imagine being so butt hurt some fat Trust fund baby lost an election you cope by storming the Capitol.

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

trespassing is serious business.

 

[Slick_36]

Charges dropped on people who did those things, or people who were in public areas near where those things happened? It's not like the Capitol where literally everyone inside that building were breaking the law just by being there and the whole thing was pretty thoroughly documented on video and through social media.

"Federal prosecutors said on Monday that 17 defendants who have been charged in connection with the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump have no attorney as John Pierce, the lawyer who has been representing them, is reportedly on a ventilator and unresponsive after contracting COVID-19.

An NPR reporter on Wednesday said a friend of Pierce's told him Pierce did not have COVID-19 but was hospitalized due to "dehydration and exhaustion." That same reporter on Thursday said another source told him Pierce contracted COVID-19 but was not on a ventilator.

Ryan Marshall, a Pierce Bainbridge associate and chief financial officer of Pierce's National Constitutional Law Union, has been acting in Pierce's stead

he is not a licensed attorney and cannot advise Pierce's clients.

Marshall might not be able to obtain a bar license at all due to the criminal charges he is facing in Pennsylvania, prosecutors noted. Marshall was allegedly involved in a scheme to defraud a widow"

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

All I can do is laugh at the constant shit stream that is the modern Republican Party. It’s Fn satire at this point


This John Pierce also say he’d never get vaccinated and now he’s dying on a ventilator?


My sympathy has run dry

 

[Staph infection]

Attack LOL

These idiots should have not wandered around the Capitol it was the wrong thing to do.

 

[Phisher]

Given his record, this dumbass is very lucky that he only got a year plus change.

 

[Sonny Qc]

this is an OUTRAGE!!!!

 

[koquerelle]

He already served 9 months! I agree with his lawyer. That's plenty.
