Mark Aungst, who was facing up to six months in prison and a $5,000 fine, killed himself on July 20, according to his obituary.

Aungst was among the many Jan. 6 demonstrators caught up in a protracted legal process stemming from the chaos of that day. He had pled guilty to a charge of demonstrating or parading in a restricted building and was due to be sentenced in September.

The deceased reportedly walked through the Capitol building taking photographs during the incident.

I hate the establishment even more for what they are doing to these people.

There will be a reckoning.

[stinkerpot65]

What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats are doing to us.

And Republican cowards say nothing.

I sure wouldn’t have died like that. Some of those who caused this would have paid.

WHERE THE HELL IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?

Where the hell is Trump?

Last I checked, he's raised a quarter billion dollars under the "Stop the Steal" banner and, as far as I can tell, has not spent a single penny on the legal defense for any of these folks, his strongest supporters, who are languishing in jail and facing way disproportionate sentences.

It goes without saying, he could've pardoned every last one of them before he left office.

That's encouraging. I guess their hypocrasy can only go so far.

The fate of the J6 Political Prisoners will be a major point of discussion of history in futuredecades.

A 69-year old grandmother with cancer will be jailed for walking peacefully on Capitol grounds. She was told if she pled guilty to trespassing, she would be freed and allowed to go home. She has zero criminal record and has always paid her taxes. She wept when told she would be sentenced to 60 days in jail. She said, “I’m so scared.”

The list of such injustices appear endless.

Excellent point.

Not a question or word from his family, friends or coworkers regarding his disposition?

Why is it the certain people always get around to blaming Trump when there is injustice?

[Guenevere]

My theory…….
….not so noble!
The Jan 6 committee is whining and crying because some folks scared them
Those folks are rotting in prison

How can they nor rearrest this terrorist…..

You know I love President Trump. But it is correct to point out that he sure could have helped these people more.

September sentencing. Ten months ago. The process.

They don’t want to jail and feed you. That’s stupid when they can torture you every minute of your day and watch you die. Death at your own hand is a special treat.

[Guenevere]

Not to me!
