The way I see it, it was worth it just for this picture.

A lawyer for the Trump supporter who smilingly walked off with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern during the US Capitol riot assured a court that his client “is not going to be attending the inauguration,” according to a report.
Adam Christian Johnson, 36, of Parrish, Fla., a father of five boys, was arrested Friday over the DC chaos and faces charges including knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and theft of government property.
He strolled out of a federal courtroom in Tampa on $25,000 bond Monday, wearing a white T-shirt, flip-flops and shorts, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
“He’d like to just get home to his family,” his attorney David Bigney said.
Johnson has received death threats since last week’s riot, his lawyers said.
“I can assure you he is not going to be attending the inauguration,” attorney Dan Eckhart said.
Johnson’s case will be handled in DC but US Magistrate Judge Christopher Tuite explained that he has the right to have it transferred to Tampa, the news outlet reported.
But a transfer to Florida would require him to plead guilty — and would only be allowed with the consent of the US attorneys, it added.

LOL!
Sure to be Antifa. They said the week before they were going to dress as Trump supporters.
Damn straight! lol. On a serious note, if he doesn’t attend the inauguration then who’s bringing the podium?
Hope he got to keep the lectern.
Or just an idiot
Not everyone there were Antifa, we need to understand that.
Hope he got to keep the lectern.
It doesn’t work that way
I hope he goes to jail
I hope homeboy has enough $$$$ saved to take care of himself or has an employer that is OK with having a felon in his company...
Losing your civil rights is a high price to pay for a photo op that will probably define the rest of your life (and not in a positive way). No voting, no gun ownership, and limited prospects for employment, housing, and future status.
I sure hope it will be worth it.
On his death bed, he won’t regret it a second.
A story for generations...
Sometimes...you just have to take a stand.
He’s from FL, where felons can vote.
In regards to things to care about, this is absolutely miniscule.
walked off with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern ...
So Nancy Pelosi brought her own personal lectern to the capitol? huh
That is one scary looking coup d’etat.
/s
“ Hope he got to keep the lectern.
It doesn’t work that way”
But if he had stolen the election, he would still be declared the winner in half the states!/S
Prosecutor: Charges Lectern Guy with "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority."

If I was President Trump I'd issue a blanket pardon for every one of these people.
What he did was amusing, but also dumb. What lessons are his four sons supposed to take from that?
Seeing Papa pilfering polished podiums.
Absolutely. If that were me, I'd have the picture framed, and put over my mantlepiece.
I'd also have them post it at my favorite bar. I'd never have to buy another beer for the rest of my life.
Cleaning my screen...
Look what he did was dumb and dopey but when he’s in his rocking chair talking to his grand kids hes going to tell them a story they will never ever be able to believe without this picture
