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.”

NONE of the 2020 rioters were thrown into solitary for being present at the riots, which were named “george floyd riots”.

None of the democrats who attack Supreme Court justices will ever go to jail for it.

The “criminal justice” system is broken.

This guy was reported to be a leftist and a registered Democrat.

He had a riot shield and a stolen bulletproof vest. Sounds like he fits the Antifa stereotype.

The other weirdo wearing a primitive fur costume was the actor from out west with the bison horn hat. Seems strange that two nutters from so many miles apart would go to the same event in yet a third location while wearing shaman/caveman outfits and act as active agitators. Was the goofy get up a kind of mutual identifier, like wearing a deer tail in the cap during the War of Independence, or an arm band in a military exercise, or a flower bud in a pocket? If not, and it was just random coincidence, how come there wasn’t a few Star Trek fans in the mob, too? We’re there any other fur bearing folks there? Just curious.

I am now on my Ipad and there are no ads preventing me from reading the article.

That is very interesting because on my desk top computer I recently did a free trial of adblock, when it was finished I did not buy the product and after that I’ve had many ads on various internet sites. I think it embedded the computer with something to encourage one to get the product.

What? What was he doing there then? You think he might have been Antifa? I have no doubt they were there.
