Pinellas husband and wife who smoked in Capitol during riot sentenced to jail

A married couple from Largo who admitted entering the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot was sentenced to jail time Friday.

Marilyn Fassell, 59, a nursing assistant who gained notoriety through a selfie she took while smoking a cigarette inside the building, was sentenced to 30 days and three years probation.

Her husband Thomas Fassell, 68, a retired postal worker and Air Force veteran, was sentenced to seven days and two years probation.

“There are lawful means available in a democracy to challenge actions you disagree with which don’t include a violent insurrection,” U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said during the sentencing.

Prosecutors had requested 60 days of incarceration for Marilyn Fassell, stating in a recent filing that, “Fassell encouraged other rioters to proceed ... celebrated the fact that the rioters had overwhelmed police ... and showed no remorse when she spoke to the media following her arrest in September 2021.”

For Thomas Fassell, prosecutors requested 30 days incarceration, they said, because he went inside despite seeing overturned police barricades and smashed glass, breathing tear gas and hearing a blaring security alarm, and because he later tried to minimize his responsibility in an interview with the Tampa Bay Times.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly would have been a great judge for the Third Reich or Stalin.

You know that mail in voting is not going to be eliminated. That is how Democrats win, with the aid of other Republicans. The only Republicans that win will be those who the Democrats want to win. And the Republicans who win will make better Democrats than Republicans.A/L/A, the god of South Carolina, Lindsey Graham and Kentucky’s own Mitch McConnell. But at least they got rid of Donald Trump. The only President Truman that was for the average guy. I wish he was still in the White House instead of the lying bastard that is in there now.

That judge obviously never studied American history. Probably studied Karl Marx and Stalin.

No. And he will not be arrested. He is the same type rat who betrayed Anne Frank. Decent people should shun him. But they won’t.

And ignored numerous pleas to stay away from there. I understand that they had a right to be there. But is like the pedestrian vs. the vehicle. The pedestrian has the right of way over the vehicle. Until he exercises it. Then he is dead right. He is still in the right but he is dead.

Parallel Logic Below:

I am a customer of a bank. The nice cop at the door waves me in. The bank is robbed and the bad guys caught. I am arrested because I was in the bank during the robbery. I tell the judge I am just a customer and bank security footage proves this. Judge then chews out the prosecution and dismisses my case with prejudice.

January 6 the nice cop waves me in and opens the door to the capitol. I go in and cause no harm. Some bad guys (probably false flag operatives) commit crimes. Some of the bad guys are prosecuted. Oddly some of them are not, the provocateurs probably. I am arrested and prosecuted. During my trial I want security footage from the capitol building that proves my innocence. Nancy Pelosi refuses to give up the security tapes. I can not disprove the false allegations against me. I GO TO PRISON for a crime I did not commit.

Beria (Head of State Security under Stalin) looks up from hell and smiles. Today we live in a post democratic republic.
