Closing Thought–05Mar21
WE all have heard of the insurrection that occurred on 06 January….and law enforcement has arrest hundreds for their part in the breach of the police line around the Capitol.
The last offender that has not been released from incarceration was in court and made a terrible impression on the judge…..
A man charged with breaking into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office during the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol exploded in anger during a hearing Thursday, forcing a recess. Richard Barnett, 60, was photographed at a desk in Pelosi’s offce during the riot, a stun gun on his belt. The Arkansas man is also charged with stealing Pelosi’s mail, the New York Times reports. Barnett, who wants to be released on bond, was appearing on video in Federal District Court in Washington. He began yelling as the judge set his next court date in May.
“They’re dragging this out!” Barnett shouted. “They’re letting everybody else out!” He yelled at his lawyers, as well as the judge, that it wasn’t fair and that he didn’t want to stay behind bars for “another month.” Judge Christopher Cooper called a recess for Barnett to cool down, then told him he’d consider a new request to be released on bond, once his lawyers filed it. Barnett has pleaded not guilty, per the Democrat Gazette.

He is the last of the arrested insurrectionists still in jail….that is a crime…all of them should be still in jail.
I say screw him…let him rot in jail maybe he will learn how to think.
On another story…the famous QAnon shaman is begging for leniency….
Why?
Because he stop a muffin theft.
Yep a muffin thief.
The notorious “QAnon Shaman” has insisted his actions during the Capitol riot were not an attack on the United States—and that he can prove it because he stopped other rioters from stealing muffins.
Jacob Chansley, who became arguably the most infamous Capitol rioter due to his furry and be-horned costume, has given a bizarre interview to CBS News in his latest attempt to beg for mercy.

How silly is this defense?
My grandfather use to say…”If you gonna be stupid you need to be tough”…..
Morons each and everyone!
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
Boo. Flippin’. Hoo.
Exactly…..none of the arrested should have let out without paying $1 million bail….they proved by their action that they were not trustworthy. chuq
Yes, they should all be in jail.
For a very long time.
Armed Rebellion, pure and simple.
Best wishes, Pete.
20 years minimum. chuq
I suppose this shows part of the entitlement and levels of self-justification that these people feel.
How anyone can imagine that what they did was acceptable on any level for any reason is beyond me.
What is more worrisome is the fact that there are so many people who are not clamoring to throw the book at these guys.
Stay safe,

I have not read as much concern as I would expect from others….chuq
