Brooklyn ‘caveman’ sentenced to 8 months for storming Capitol during Jan. 6 riot; acted out ‘fantasy game,’ says judge

A caveman-clad New Yorker who stormed the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection was acting out a stolen election “fantasy game,” said a federal judge who sentenced the rioter to eight months in prison on Friday.

Aaron Mostofsky, 35 — the son of a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge — was photographed wearing a fur costume and a police bulletproof vest inside the Capitol. His sentencing came after he his guilty plea to a felony charge of civil disorder and misdemeanor charges of theft of government property and entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds.

In a Washington D.C. courtroom, Federal Judge James Boasberg chastised Mostofsky for his behavior, but gave him a sentence that was shorter than federal sentencing guidelines, which called for him to serve between 10 months and 16 months. Federal prosecutors had asked for a sentence of 15 months.

Boasberg said he believed Mostofsky’s remorse was real, and noted that Mostofsky behaved “almost as if this were a play, a performance.” He also said Mostofsky “went down this rabbit hole of election fantasy.”

“You somehow got stuck in the fantasy of a stolen election,” Boasberg said. “I hope you’ll leave some of the fantasy world behind. Your indulgence in that fantasy has led to this tragic situation.”

Meanwhile I can't think of one Antifa BLM terrorist who is in jail. When is the last time we read of one being locked up? These terrorist who caused billions in damages in every major city, looted, burned businesses, burned federal buildings, killed people, maimed people, killed cops, blinded cops, tried to kill cops with Molotov cocktails, for over 5 years, I can't think of ONE of them who is in jail. But someone involved in a 4 hour protest where they were invited into the Capital by Capital police who opened the doors for them gets 8 months for merely trespassing. Justice in this country is an utter joke, it's all BS meant to help the criminal democrap party that is hellbent on destroying the USA. Record gas prices, record inflation, open borders, threat of nuclear war and THIS "threat" is what they are focusing on.

“Federal law enforcement has charged more than 780 people with crimes related to the Capitol riot.”

I wonder what the number is for Antifa and BLM. I’ll bet less than 100

Unbelievable and very ignorant statement, isn’t it?

Send the judge a copy of “2000 mules” and see if it can change his mind.

“You somehow got stuck in the fantasy of a stolen election,” Boasberg said.
***So when Trump is re-elected and pardons all these people, can he ruin this judge’s career for such obviously biased remarks? To be candid, ruining the guy’s career isn’t even good enough. Spending time in prison is what would be called for, but our system aint set up that way.

I’m watching that movie tonight, I heard it’s amazing, just exposes the hell out of the fake election. The left is doing everything they can to stop people from seeing it, Youtube for example banned the trailer

“gave him a sentence that was shorter than federal sentencing guidelines”

I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that his dad is also a judge. Nope, judges would never show favoritism like that.

He’s a corrupt judge:

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/29/fbi-lawyer-trump-russia-probe-email-463750

“The only person charged in the Justice Department’s investigation into the origins of the probe of former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and its ties to Russia was spared prison time for altering an email used to support a surveillance application.

Former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, 38, received the sentence of 12 months probation and 400 hours community service from U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg Friday during a video hearing.”

How nice of the judge to use their mind-reading powers to inform everyone...

Another biased, power-mad judge.

The deep state judge would simply repeat the deep state mantra that "there is no evidence" by refusing to view the evidence.

There is a link on my profile page with plenty of evidence, but it doesn't exist for those who refuse to view it.

Can’t read the article without handing out my email address.

Hasn’t he already been locked up for a year and a half? Don’t they remove time served from when you’ve been locked up?

Nope.

The judge is stuck in his own fantasy of there being no stolen election.

Maybe his sentence was shorter than the guidelines because, in his guilty plea, he spoke out against President Trump. IMHO he should have spoken out with an apology to President Trump for making things worse for
him and his supporters ever since J6.
