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.

well, alrighty then!
let’s re-elect Trump, so we have the ability to install our fist into their alimentary canal!!
The Democrats are trying to put the man in jail for the Jan. 6th protest so his attorneys are probably telling him to stay far away from the protesters so the idiots in DC can’t get him on bribery or interference.
Yeah, I suppose I’ve come around to your point of view.
Democrats add another chalk mark to the board still winning.

Trump put Barr in La e Barr did not do ONE DAMN THING to clean out that cesspool of a DOJ!! Barr was a HUGE disappointment just HUGE!! He came so HIGHLY recommended by Victoria Townsing and her husband Joe DeGenova they PRAISED him, and they too are ashamed of the job he did!! Trump needs a complete outsider for AG, NO ONE who has ever set foot in DC!! A HAMMER to break heads!! The rest of DC needs to be transferred across the country EVERY stinking department except the ones that will be abolished!!
Good rant, seriously.
But if you are Donald Trump, you are not allowed to hire whoever you want for funded departments. Each Department Secretary has to have Senate approval. This forces you to consider only those that have a chance of Senate confirmation. That means you must hold meetings and make lots of phone calls to get a sense of what the Senate is looking for.
Trump fired Sessions 18 minutes after the 2018 midterms. He was waiting to win the Senate before firing one of their longest serving members.
Then, Trump needed a replacement for Sessions who could get through the Senate and needed one quick. That was Barr.
We all get frustrated that our favorite President couldn’t do what we wanted. That’s due to the Constitution restricting the Executive from acting as a tyrant.
We don’t need to criticize Trump for the choices he had to make. It’s not his fault. But it’s certainly frustrating.
What we need to do is get Trump a MAGA House and a filibuster-proof MAGA Senate. If we do that, then Trump has the power to bring in people who can get the job done.
Here’s what we as individuals can do by spending a few hours a week:
1. Sign up.
2. Meet like-minded friendly people.
3. Learn the ropes.
4. Get busy.
China Mitch sabotaged Trump from Day One.
Trump needs the military for this, and he no longer has it. The military is the only force big enough (outside of an enraged mob of tens of thousands) to take down the DS. Sacking all the flag officers won’t get it back. Our armed forces will be gutted and queer by the time he gets back in office.
How is Atlanta these days. Daughter flying Aug 1 on Delta for a company thing.
She’s 65, thinks she’s 35. lol I still worry.
Atlanta proper, I left. Crime is skyrocketing. I’m way out now, near Lake Lanier.
You have a 65 year old daughter???! I always assumed you to be in your 30’s or 40’s!!!
82 this September. Married 66 yrs this August.
Thanks for the compliment.
Never faulted Trump, only his failure to show his supporters he tried. I’m certain he looks in the rear view mirror with 2024 vision.
US citizens are held as political prisoners for sight seeing in the very public building taxpayers pay for. They must be freed and well compensated for their suffering for doing nothing wrong.
This current government is no better than North Korea or China.
Follow the money.
I became a precinct committee person 6 weeks ago not that it will do much good in CA. the land of mail in only ballots now!! God I HATE Newsom EVERY damn state with all mail in balloting is under ONE PARTY Dem rule, YET Republican Party DOES NOTHING to fight back!!
There’s many things you and your fellow precinct volunteers can do.
You can be present when the mail-in ballots arrive to ensure they are received on-time.
You can perform signature matching.
You can verify the ballots were properly counted.
You can keep local manual vote tallies witnessed by your precinct team to compare with machine totals.
Lots more!
Mail-in voting is a tool of fraudsters. But you can make it difficult for those who will cheat.
It doesn’t guarantee your precinct work will stop the cheating, it merely helps to annoy the cheaters and cause them to find other ways to cheat, especially causing to make mistakes where they can get caught.
Here’s where Constitution Sheriffs come in. You or your precinct committee members can interact with your County Sheriff. The Sheriff may even deputize you and then have you participate in investigations.
You and/or your precinct team may consider setting up cheaters in sting operations.
There are many ways you can fight back here.
In time, it will be possible to do away with all-mail-in voting. You will be a fighter in the ground game. If enough precinct members fight back, there can be opportunities to achieve political power regionally and further.
In time, you might join other precinct leaders to push for ballot security features such as AZ Rep. Mark Finchum is doing. His team have devised a ballot watermark quality configuration system that is brilliant, allowing them to know if a ballot is genuine or not and how many are in the system. This eliminates the opportunity for ballot stash houses to transport boxes of fabricated ballots to support stealing elections.
Nice slogan. But, until there are 10 to 20 million of us in the streets shouting it, nothing will change. And, they will have won. Why? Because, unfortunately, it is just talk.
Welcome to Free Republic you Communist spy. Red and learn something important.
While I agree with you that President Trump, every Republican member of Congress, every Republican Governor, state legislator, mayor, every Conservative politician across the USA should be denouncing this, partial blame for this atrocity rests on each of our shoulders as well. Where are the outcries from the Conservative public? Where are the marches, where are the gatherings to protest this? Why are we not filling the streets across this nation with masses of OUR bodies challenging the left’s perceived right to do this?
Yes, I know... there would be mass arrests. People would lose their jobs. People’s livelihoods and their ability to feed their families could, probably would, be affected. We stand to lose everything. I can give these and a thousand other reasons why we CAN’T do this. The truth is, we are scared. And, that was the whole purpose of January 6th, to make us scared to act.
Don’t get me wrong, I include myself in this as much as anyone else. But, setting this right cannot come from the political class alone. It has to start with us.
Correct.
WOW, now THAT was an interesting take on it.
Why AREN’T we marching? Why AREN’T we shutting down things over this? They can’t arrest us all, and most of us have some Paid Time Off banked that we can use to be out of work.
I have the opposite reaction to Jan 6 and the inquisitions surrounding it. Instead of ‘scared to act’, I am far more ‘motivated to act’.
I am not the leading type, but if a leader emerges, we need to form a critical mass of people, so they cannot pick us off.
Why?
Simple. Conservatives are apathetic.
