Dude, Hollering Now Ain’t Gonna Help
The pace and precision of the Department of Justice pursuing and punishing the criminals of the January 6th insurrection is impressive.
Despite some heavy sentences, most of them accept their fate.
But, not all of them.
WASHINGTON — A Donald Trump supporter who drove a stun gun into the neck of a Washington police officer who was abducted by the mob during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol shouted “Trump won” after he was sentenced to 12½ years in prison Wednesday, multiple people present in the courtroom said.
In one of the most violent scenes of the day, Daniel Rodriguez damn near killed Officer Michael Fanone.
During the punishment phase, Rodriquez said …
“Life has always seemed unfair to me,” Rodriguez said, speaking of inequality in the country before referring to himself as “an American supremacist.” If he were allowed to go home, Rodriguez said, he would go back to “driving a forklift with my GED and living with my mom,” claiming he did not present a future threat.
Apparently the court didn’t take that seriously and gave him a hefty sentence. Rodriquez then proved the court right, yelling, “Trump won!” as he was taken into custody.
They never learn.
With any luck, they can set him up with a shiny, new, orange cellmate before year’s end.
1I’m with Wally, someone orange in an orange jumpsuit to share a toilet with. Wow, wouldn’t that be a hoot.
2600 and counting–hope trump is next.
3Trump will never go into a general prison population; he’ll go to a white-collar prison instead. But you could imagine being sent to a general prison population with the rest of the people he fooled into the Jan 6 riot. Some would want to make him king, but some would want to take their imprisonment out on him. Still, with a captive audience of the same fools he suckered before, he would still be a huge danger. He’d need to be sent somewhere different.
4A lot of the rioters are clearly mentally disturbed. if they share a characteristic, it’s a needness, and perhaps that is what attracts them to trump, the neediest person in American public life.
5This guy dropped out of school and has been under or unemployed. Consequently his view is everyone else got theirs and it must be a conspiracy against me that I don’t have anything. What he hasn’t figured out is that tfg got his money from his father – and I’m pretty sure that he also got money from other governments! As for tfg post guilty verdict, he needs to be in a high security prison with NO internet – I’m sick of hearing his every thought repeated fifty times a day by msm.
6In 12.5 years, he might learn how to think but I wouldn’t bet on it
7It’s not unlikely that life has been unfair to him, as it has been to many others. It’s impossible to imagine how hitching his wagon to an ideology like trump’s would offer up any improvements.
8Grandma Ada @ 6,
I’m with you on what you’ve said. And may I suggest locked up on a remote military base like Diego Garcia or Kwajalein?
9Papa, my vote is for Gitmo. There is too much water betweern Gitmo and the U.S. for any MAG-ite to dog paddle or even row a boat.
