‘He has an obligation to them’: Attorney for ‘QAnon shaman’ asks Trump to pardon rioters

Poor little snowflake...not responsible for his own actions...

I think the attorney has a legit point about Trump's mind fuck abilities. He's right that it's like Jonestown w/o the koolaid. OTOH, it's not like his client is Roger Stone or Michael Flynn so he's likely just fucked. Trump flipped into Law & Order mode, threw 'em all under the bus.

Of course he doesn't care about them. But doing so would piss off the left. For that reason alone I suspect it is likely.

What would pissing off the left do for trump? If it doesn't stroke his ego then its of no interest to him. He already thinks of those people as low class, so combine that with there being nothing in it for him by pardoning them, so I don't see it happening.

They definitely ain't the snappiest peas in the pod:

An Ohio man who posted videos from the U.S. Capitol riots has been arrested on federal charges of making interstate threats and threatening a witness.

In one video, 40-year-old Justin Stoll, of Wilmington, declared: “D.C.’s a war zone!...You ain’t got enough cops, baby! We are at war at the Capitol…. We have taken the Capitol. This is our country.”

The federal complaint said that when one YouTube viewer said he or she had saved his video, Stoll warned that if the viewer took action to “ever jeopardize me, from being with my family,” then the person would meet his or her maker, and that he would be the one to “arrange the meeting.”

Stoll appeared before a U.S. magistrate in Cincinnati, who released him under restrictions including that he remain in southern Ohio with electronic monitoring, stay off social media, stay away from firearms, obtain mental counseling and not contact potential witnesses or victims.

Seriously? Why in heck are you still posting Dark text after asked not to??

This forum has an official Dark Theme (Preferences->Style"AnandTech Dark"), that many of us use. What you just posted above has close to invisible text on the Dark Theme. Colored text of any form is a BAD idea, unless you want to switch themes and see how it looks in each theme.

It's not like Dark Forum Posters are being dicks and posting light text, that looks totally fine for us, but is garbage for the Light Theme users.

I just switched to the dark theme (Didn't know they had one) and can confirm it is happening, although the last quoted post does not have the dark text.

Also, seriously is there not a thumbs up emoji?

One reason is because there is no quoted text in the last post. It's just the link processor putting the summary in.

The lawyer defending the retired NY fire fighter who threw a fire extinguisher at the DC Cops (complete clear video) was interviewed on CNN by Cuomo. Lawyer says he was just totally mesmerized by Trumps commands and just got caught up in the moment. He's had an exemplary record, somebody just offered this free bus ride down to DC and blah, blah, blah, blah. Cuomo kept asking, but why did he do it. It circled from there.

LOL @ "mesmerized." As if they can avoid criminal responsibility for their actions because Donald Trump is supposedly so beguiling.

I just looked up the crime they are getting everyone with. I was expecting it to be a $150 fine or 6 months type of law. Apparently they could all be looking at 10 years for entering the "restricted building."

Just to be clear Donald never gave a fuck about the common man. He only cares for influential people who can help him. I don't foresee a blind sweeping pardon to all the nuts who stormed the capital.

He'll do it to hold on to the base. Especially if signs point to Moscow Mitch ready to convict him. Orange loser will take the far right away from the GOP and ensure that neither GOP or himself as independent candidate have enough to beat Harris in 2024.

There's no guarantee that Harris will win the primary. The left will be too busy shouting "Kamala is a cop" to be bothered with little things like stopping the fascist.

They would worship him even more so his ego could inflate to new proportions.

I didn't notice "what all the fuss was about" until i tried dark theme for myself, and then it was there ... for all to see:



Pun intended.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

By the way, i had no idea it worked like this so i'm probably as surprised as @Lost_in_the_HTTP about it.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Seems that ChairGuy's plan for being released to House Arrest have been unseated.

 

[dawp]

Is it me, or are all these charges super light?

For example, the guy who beat up a cop is only charged with "obstructing a LEO" ?????

Sounds like most of these guy will probably never even see jail time once the lawyers whittle away at everything.

initial charges, probably will be upgraded as the investigation progresses

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Haven't seen word of this guy's arrest yet, but it seems a foregone conclusion considering his open admission:

Bah. I'm not that worried. Yes, we could see some violence, but it will be dealt with quickly by the US military. I'm always amazed at people when they say that they need their guns to fight off the US military if it comes down to their survival. Hoo are you going to take on the US governemt with a few dozen overweight, out of shape middle aged slobs? There would be no contest.

like I said in another thread, when the shooting starts most RWNJ will turn tail and run when the guy next to them gets their head blown off.

More trump shit-stain to cleanup. I hope we have enough bleach.

I don't think bleach will be strong enough, time to break out the sulfuric acid.

I don't know how you folks use a dark theme. They are great until you click on another site/tab and then it's like staring at the sun.

I solve this by only reading Internets that have dark theme.

Yeah, she definitely came with plans to go after House representatives.

One point at the end of the video, that I see repeated often, that people don't seem to get. He complains about the police officer standing by and doing nothing.

At this point, the police outside have been completely routed, they have no defensive lines anymore. They have collapsed into small groups or individuals completely surrounded. So they are basically out of the picture, because if they tried to do anything they would just get beaten until they stopped trying to do anything, so all they would accomplish would be getting themselves beaten and injured (maybe dead).

In a situation like that where the LEOs are outnumbered so greatly, it's basically strategy for survival to NOT try to force their will or boundaries on the gathering mob. If they got too aggressive, it'd be throwing napalm on a garbage can fire and asking to get piled on by the mob.
Can't say I can blame the officers for falling back where they didn't have much choice. There may have been police who were complicit or even gave assistance to rioters, but I want to believe the majority of LEO were simply outnumbered and overpowered to have done more to hold back the crowd.

Hopefully they find her as well as identify the police officer so he can testify against her.
