A capital rioter who has of course pleaded guilty, uh, to participating in the January
6th riot has had their lawyers go to court and argue that this individual could not understand
reality enough to realize how bad it was, what he was doing on January 6th.
Now, let me read what the lawyers have filed in court, cuz they're trying to get leniency
again.
The guy pleaded guilty.
They're trying to get a little bit of a reduced sentence.
And in order to do that, they're like, yeah guys, basically crazy, right?
I mean he's got no grasp on reality at all.
So let him go.
Yikes.
That almost seems more dangerous.
Doesn't it?
So here's what the lawyers argued in their court filing.
When these people failed to correct the narrative, talking about the Trump campaign, it left
a huge informational void that was filled with the likes of conspiracy theorists, online
extremists and Trump loyalists willing to manipulate public opinion for their own purposes,
their client.
I'm not gonna name him, stood no chance at truly grasping the gravity or reality of the
situation.
the court must take into account.
The enormous influence the president, the media, and the lack of accurate and truthful
information played in the months leading up to January 6th, 2021.
Um, okay.
I mean the guy's facing up to six months in prison, a fine up to $5,000 for one misdemeanor
count.
So parade inside the capitals, what they got him for.
So he's likely probably not even going to jail to begin with, but you're gonna tell
the judge like, Hey listen, this guy is so dumb that he couldn't be bothered to look
at any non right wing news sources for, for months.
Like that's a horrible argument.
I don't know who these lawyers are, but you're not good at your job.
Let's let's be very clear about that.
You're sitting there trying to argue like, well, I mean the misinformation was everywhere.
No, it actually wasn't.
It was isolated to a few right wing media outlets and sure.
All kinds of online nut jobs.
Yeah.
They, they were everywhere.
But if you're gonna go to court and say that this guy you're representing is so stupid,
that he can't determine fiction from reality.
Then I think the best thing for him is to get hit with the maximum of six months in
jail.
Honestly, had you not argued that I'd say, listen, you were walking around inside the
capital probation, you know, community service, small find you're good to go.
But now that you've done this, honestly, I think you're proving that this guy is more
Dangerous.
Like that's how bad your argument is.
You're trying to get leniency by saying that your client has no grasp on reality that your
client has no ability in their head to decipher what's real and what's not online.
That's a terrifying thought, right?
That's not exactly the kind of person that should just be allowed to go free because
they don't understand the consequences of their actions.
Nope.
Sorry.
This person needs to go to jail.
I hope the judge hits him with a maximum penalty, maximum fine, maximum everything because these
lawyers went to court and made the case that this person is just too stupid to know the
difference between right and wrong.
Sorry, not gonna cut it.
Hope you enjoy jail.
