January 6 protester Dustin Thompson was found guilty on Thursday of a felony and several misdemeanors.
After Dustin Thompson’s guilty verdict was read, he was removed from the courtroom in shackles, with little objection from his attorney. It wasn’t expected that he’d be ordered detained like this before sentencing.
As two older security guards removed his belt, ring, and personal items from his pockets, Judge Reggie Walton said in a harsh tone that Thompson was “weak-minded.”

Judge Walton, “Trump is a charlatan who caused an insurgency. He is tearing America apart. That’s the reason why our country is falling apart. I am proud of the jury for doing this.”
Walton continued lavishly praising the jury, and went into the jury room to sit with them and over 10 prosecutors who were present. He told the group about his personal experiences teaching law in Africa.
“I’m showing [the African people] how we have the best judicial system. I don’t want to see Trump ruin it,” he said.
It seemed odd Judge Walton would take such generous time out of his busy schedule to interact with jurors this way. The day before, he instructed the jury to deliberate quickly and reach a verdict so he could leave the courtroom precisely at 5 o’clock. Judge Walton expressed eagerness to take Friday and Monday off for Easter. Security noted he was the only judge looking to clear his calendar that day.

How Orwellian. Do you love Big Brother!
Surprise, surprise, surprise. A black biased Judge. They wish us dead or in concentration camps.
Every person being tried for Jan 6th are being cheated from any kind of fair trial. A trial in a DC venue is totally unfair and sure to get a biased jury.
To hell with these communist bastards who hope no one sees the irony.
Nothing like an impartial jurist...(sarc/off)
What to do? What to do?
I do not plan to EVER visit Mordor-on-the-Potomac. Ever again. I hope Russia nukes it to glass.
You noticed that too, eh?
The capitol should be moved to the center of the USA (Not counting Alaska/Hawaii), which would either be in Nebraska or Kansas..
“Another “gift” from the Bush doofusses.”
It’s a very common disease among elected republicans. They’re so afraid of being called “racists” that they feel obligated to appoint unqualified incompetents like this to inoculate themselves against that attack. Of course it doesn’t work - they’re labeled racists regardless.
There’s no more powerful weapon in the Rats arsenal than that word. The mere possibility of being labeled that sends 99% of elected republicans scurrying for cover and asking for mercy.... and the more they do that, the more that word is thrown at them.
Embrace the insult, and fight back!
At one time, not long ago, that would signal the abrupt end to a judicial career.
You’re so right.
The Bush clan wanted Jeb to be President . The wanted to open the door for more Mexicans like Biden is doing.
I voted for both Bush’s and I am so sorry I ever did. I never realized how bad they were.
Yes. His rant should get the defendant a new trial on appeal.
This is not a judge, but a politician in a black robe masqUerading as a judge. It Will be “judges” like him that are a big cause of the next civil war.
Due process requires a separate trial by a jury of his peers to determine that. Dustin Thompson was on trial in the case presented to this “judge”.
Another graduate from the Judge Roland Freisler School of Law.
Yes. Grounds for appeal.
I wouldn’t doubt it.
The judge is a POS.
