Andrew Craig Ericson, 24, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. Prosecutors will drop three related misdemeanor charges in exchange for his plea. Ericson said in a signed statement that he is pleading guilty because he is in fact guilty.

He will face six months in federal prison and a $5,000 fine after he was tipped off to the FBI by someone who had known him since high school.

Six months in prison for one beer?

Ericson posted a photo of himself on Snapchat while sitting comfortably with his feet on a table at Pelosi’s conference room and taking a beer out of a mini-refrigerator.

I wonder how many of the leftists who took over the Wisconsin Capitol ten years ago - completely shutting down the government for several weeks - ever spent ONE DAY in jail?

Prisoner 24601 broke a window and stole a loaf of bread and was sentenced to 5 years in a French prison. That was back in 1862, the publication date of the novel.

Instead of "Les Miserables," we have "The Deplorable" 159 years later.

#17: "Law enforcement is told to go easy on specially privileged victim groups"

Not only law enforcement but prosecutors and judges. I remember that riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin where they burned up car dealerships, smashed windows, burned down businesses. They even burned down the Danish Brotherhood Lodge which had stood for 110 years. The riot was tribal, so no prosecutions. No jail time.

I’m not allowed to have alcohol in my workplace. This is unbelievable.
I worked for the USPS. Because I was qualified to drive postal vehicles and operate power equipment, like the letter carriers and mail contractors I had to agree to submit to random drug/alcohol screenings at any time, without cause. Is it too much to expect the same treatment of our judges and elected officials?

6 months for stealing a beer? While some homie, who most likely has warrants on him for more serious stuff, can waltz into an inner city convenience store and rip off a beer and most likely not even be arrested, let alone prosecuted

[Prole]

Our “judges” and “elected officials” largely serve the will of Satan.

If you think these creeps will ever take action to stop corruption in their own ranks, you have another thing coming.

They are the poster children of malice, evil, and hatred.

[NWFree]

No kidding it’s bad enough they’re drunk everywhere else but now we know they drink on the job too.

[Impala64ssa]

Beer? In an Gov’t office?

The justification would be that our Founding Fathers drank beer regularly. Hey..... they were slave owning White guys! So therefore beer is a WHITE SUPREMACIST PATRIARCHAL RACIST CONSTRUCT!! Let's see the wokeist suits at Budweiser, Miller, Coors etc deal with that. Sleep with dogs.....

[Clutch Martin]

Maybe we ought to start having a mandatory Whiz Quiz for these people.

[Prole]

I pray it so.

If anyone deserves the Righteous Fury of Almighty God, it is the District of Corruption.

They will all get the ultimate Divine Smite in the fullness of time.

Beer that was probably paid for by the taxpayers anyway. Pelosi racks up like 50k a year in alcohol charges, thats on top of her 17,000 an hr flights back and forth to Ca paid for by the taxpayer.

One Saturday I smoked some weed and went into work to get caught up. One of the sheet metal workers, black, came into my office to shoot the breeze. He looked at me and said, man you are high. I can see it in your eyes.

That was the only time I did something like that. It was embarrassing.

[Vermont Lt]

I was thinking the same thing. That got you fired in my old job.

[Boomer]

Six months is nothing compared to the eternity Piggy is going to spend in the deepest most painful bowels of hell. I don’t believe any kind of repentance would be accepted by this Satanic demon spawn.

[reg45]

He would spend the entire prison term in the cooler.

If someone grabbed my beer, they’d have a lot more to deal with than 6 months in Club Fed.

[telescope115]

Great comparison.

[Jane Long]

If someone grabbed my beer, they’d have a lot more to deal with than 6 months in Club Fed.

What if they had paid for it?

When he gets out, he will have a problem to deal with.

I want a beer Koosie, that says “Stolen from Nancy’s fridge”.
