another conviction of a Jan 06 rioter

[VitaMan]

A jury found Capitol rioter Dustin Thompson guilty Thursday on charges he obstructed a congressional proceeding and stole a coat tree from a Senate office on January 6, 2021, rejecting a defense argument that attempted to shift blame for the day's violence onto former President Donald Trump.


After just a few hours of deliberations, the jury convicted Thompson, 38, on all six charges he faced in connection with January 6, including obstruction of an official proceeding, trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds, and theft of government property. On the obstruction charge alone, he faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, but he's likely to receive a lighter punishment.


Judge Reggie Walton ordered Thompson detained ahead of his July 20 sentencing, in a decision that appeared to surprise the now-convicted Capitol rioter and his defense lawyer. Walton raised concerns that Thompson posed a flight risk and said that, if released before his sentencing, Americans would wonder, "Why is he still walking free?"


"The inevitable reality is that whether he does time now or does time later, he's got to do time," the judge said.


Walton, a George W. Bush appointee to the federal trial court in Washington, DC, said Thompson "gleefully" took part in the Capitol attack and questioned his candor on the witness stand days earlier, calling his testimony "wholly disingenuous."


"His conduct, in my view, was reprehensible," Walton said.


As Walton spoke, Thompson put his head in his hands. Once Walton stepped down from the bench, Thompson turned over his belt and tie and was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs by a deputy US marshal.


The judge also had harsh words for Trump, delivering a scathing condemnation in which he called the former president a "charlatan."

Now we are getting to the truth of this.


Not some made up conspiracy theories being spewed out by radical right wing mouthpieces like the epoch times and the gateway pundit....and many others.


Which people like Salty believe. Talk about getting schooled.

With every conviction Salty shrinks further

[Salty Again]

... There haven't been many, mate. Though obviously this bloke
you're commenting on surely DESERVES to be in jail.

Not for stealing a coat rack - that's bad - but not quite
as flashy as setting a church a-fire or burning down a police house
- as the Antifa and BLM lads do.

The fellow's crime was in his defence - tryin' to BLAME his actions
there on President Trump!

Obviously then the Judge saw thru the scheme.

Sounds like a smart judge. I think he was very kind and professional when he simply called Trump a "charlatan" and his band of retards "weak minded". I think it would have just been better if he was less professional and said Trump is a crooked piece of shit and preys on retards for support because they are easy to manipulate because they are stupid, gullible and uneducated. And I am about to get responses in this forum from people that will easily prove my point... glad I can't read their sheer stupidity though.

[Salty Again]

... Most of us no longer care about anything you say.

And you speak for ?

A lot of grandiose statements from Salty lately. Sounding like judgements.

[Jacuzzme]

Wow, stole a coat tree. Off with his head!

When will we see the conviction of any one from any of the 2020 riots?

When will anyone from the Furgerson Missouri riots be convicted? What about that guy who stood on a car and called for the crowd to "Burn it down" (and they did)?

[Jackie S]

Wow, we went from “attempting to over throw the Government of The United States” to “stealing a coat rack”.

The Judge is a Woke idiot. He should have enough common sense to know that all January 6th represented was a bunch of clowns acting like, well, a bunch of clowns.

In the mean time, extreme racist like Frank James spews hate all over the Internet and social media, finally shoots up a subway car full of people, and they are considering bail.

Entire Mobs literally burned cities in the name of beatifying career criminals and nobody gets prosecuted for anything.

We are in “Bizzarro World”.

[Yssup Rider]

Point made, Lucas!

Ysup: Like your Kuriaan flag adaptation. Hope someone over there gets the concept and makes it an official national emblem.

"Molon labe" (Come and Tske them) would be the Greek response to the Persians at Thermopile in 480 BC. "Come and Take It" was the response from the Texians to the Mexican Army at the Battle for Gonzales in 1835.

This essentially what the Ukrainians have said through their actions in the past weeks.

When was the riot?
