A federal judge tore into a low-level defendant in the Capitol Riot Friday, moments after the man entered a guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge stemming from the Jan. 6 unrest.

“You’ve disgraced this country in the eyes of the world and my inclination would be to lock you up, but since the government isn’t asking me to do that ... I won’t,” U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton shouted at Fort Pierce, Fla., resident Anthony Mariotto during a video hearing. “I find it outrageous that American citizens would do what you did, so you better walk the straight and narrow, sir, you understand?”....

the judge, an appointee of former President George W. Bush. “It was an attack on our government, and I love my government. This government has been good to me. To see somebody destroy, or try to destroy, the Capitol is very troubling to me.”

And that is exactly the problem, the judge loves the Government. Notice he does not embrace the Constitution. Another Deep State status quo judge. The hell with his government destroying the country.

[Mr. K]

AUnlike Antifa and BLM who embrace and love the government and police

Let me know when this idiot Judge says the same thing to BLM activist(s) or an ANTIFA dipsh*t......

[Vaquero]

I have contempt for that court

[Fledermaus]

FU Judge

[Don Corleone]

Our government is in the hands of traitors.

I bet he wishes he hadn’t set those police cars on fire and smashed all those store windows and stolen all those flat screen TVs!

A GW koolaide drinking judge is going to lecture a protestor on “taking over his government”. What a load of manure 🐂

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Anarcho-tyranny is a concept, where the state is argued to be more interested in controlling citizens so that they do not oppose the managerial class (tyranny) rather than controlling real criminals (causing anarchy). Laws are argued to be enforced only selectively, depending on what is perceived to be beneficial for the ruling elite.

Wow. Just Wow.
This “judge” must be removed.

[Steve_Seattle]

"a low-level defendant"

Are there any high-level defendants? Did anyone do anything worse than a few thousand BLM rioters did last year, most of whom had the charges dropped?

[Da Coyote]

Eff that judge and the turd he ate before he rode in on Nancy Pelosi.
I’ve had it with judges and any federal dick.
Period.

“the judge, an appointee of former President George W. Bush.”

Another gift from the neocon Bush family. Wonder what is his take on BLM and Antifa starting fires in DC and every other majot city in 2020. Probably cool with giving them room to destroy.

[Seruzawa]

Ah, Judicial Detachment. Ain’t it wonderful? Judge needs to be impeached and thrown from the bench.

[bray]

Never been more proud of the Les Miserables Trumpsters.

[Cboldt]

I love my government. This government has been good to me.

As you say, the judge is biased against the people. All three branches of the government are in cahoots. "Checks and balances" is between them, but they are all united for themselves. They all have a "them vs. us" attitude.

[Charlemagne on the Fox]

Long time Freepers will recall Judge Reggie as the Presiding Judge in the Scooter Libby farce . . .

[fwdude]

Aren’t judges supposed to be impartial and not beholden to either side? I think this hostile position he’s adopted could be a strong case to dismiss this case.

[Sacajaweau]

There have been hundreds of riots at the Capitol. This is different because it’s anti-Trump....and nothing more.
