WASHINGTON, D.C. — A Shelbyville man pleaded guilty on Friday to carrying a revolver loaded with shotgun shells and hollow points on Capitol grounds along with assaulting law enforcement officers during the Jan 6., 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.

Mark Andrew Mazza, 57, pleaded guilty in the District of Columbia to assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon and carrying a pistol without a license. He faces a statutory maximum of 20 years in prison for charges against the officers and up to five years in prison for the firearms charge.

Mazza’s sentence will be determined by a federal district court judge on Sept. 20.

According to federal court documents, Mazza brought a Taurus revolver, loaded with shotgun shells and hollow point bullets, into Washington, D.C., to the Ellipse, and then to the Capitol. Sometime on the U.S Capitol grounds before 2:45 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, Mazza lost possession of the revolver.

Mazza then illegally made his way to the Lower West Terrance and into the Capitol building, court documents said. Mazza is captured on video surveillance joining other rioters to push through at least 20 officers who were defending the tunnel entrance to the Capitol.

But throwing a fire-bomb under a police car, that’s nothing.

Not a very smart move. I can understand wanting to have a weapon for self defense, but stay away from Capital. I don’t think it will end well for him.

Now, let’s see the same rigorous enforcement of BLM and Antifa, or any Leftist that does the same.

He’s been charged, is in jail without bond, and faces life in prison.

The UnitedStates Constitution supposedly guarantees the right to a ‘speedy’ trial.
I guess there is an exemption for Madame Pelosi’s Lubyanka (how did I miss that?)
The guy maybe shoulda gone for a jury in the oh so impartial DC court system.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.

“captured on video surveillance joining other rioters to push through at least 20 officers who were defending the tunnel entrance to the Capitol.”

Have those tapes ever been released?

And when are they going to use geotracking to investigate who left the pipe bombs at the Democratic and Republican party headquarters????? Or do they already know?

He will not have a speedy trial.
He will not have a trial.
He plead guilty.

Notice that they don’t specify exactly where he lost it, and where it was found...

Hard weapon to lose. A big gun, even for me.

Notice that they don't specify exactly where he lost it, and where it was found.

They won't get into the details of that, I don't think.  winking face

Perhaps after he realized his stupidity in bringing a weapon into the Capitol he ditched it.
