'You’ve disgraced this country': Judge rips Capitol riot defendant
Politico ^ | Sept 24, 2021 | Josh Gerstein and Kyle Cheney

Posted on 09/24/2021 1:44:16 PM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

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.”

Very appropriate. Nazi Chief Judge Rudolph Freisler. I think of him when some Freeper screams “Sue them.”

“ What if the next time around, the Democrats lose the presidency and start a riot?” the judge asked

Oh like the Democrats did during Trump’s inauguration?

And here we have another disgusting Roland Freisler.*

*Roland Freisler (30 October 1893 – 3 February 1945) was a German Nazi jurist, judge, and politician who served as the State Secretary of the Reich Ministry ...

I guess Judge nullification ain’t a concept like jury nullification readily embraced by some.. unless you’re colored, an illegal, a leftist or a terrorist.

To all those who say the Constitution is not a death pact, wait until 15 like him sit in judgement of us all.

Capitol buildings can be rebuilt (Heck, it’s built like a fortified palace anyway) but confidence in gubamint and the fair and equal administration of same will take a bit longer.

We truly do live in bizarre times.

“I love my government.”

...and that’s the problem.

And that fact is the fault of We the People whom he does not respect

It goes beyond a love of government.

Like it or not judge, citizens have a right to act up.

If things are bad enough they should.

Note that objection these same people have to ANTIFA or BLM
doing far far worse then these people did, and yet they have
the benefit of being seen only as protesters.

Riot, break in, loot, burn, and kill people, and it’s still
considered a mostly peaceful protest.

Folks gain access to the capital, at least some of them by
invitation on tape, they get roudy and give some officers
a hard time, but they do not set fires. They do not kill
people. Yes, this embarrasses the judge on behalf of the
nation in front of the whole world.

Of course our nation is not embarrassed to have riots in
cities across the nation, creating billions of dollars in
damages with immunity (essentially).

This judge couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag.

Equal justice your honor... you do remember that quaint
concept right?

It sure isn’t showing A.H.

I would have said, Michele Obama said, after her husband was elected; she’s ‘Proud of My Country’ for the first time.

I remember when Pelosi said “Dissent is a good thing.”
However, you can’t find any record of it on the internet now. 🤨

What a joke. It was a ridiculous display of grandstanding for a measly charge of “parading” which the judge falsely labeled as “pandering” which is what he was doing, of course.


Mariotto quickly said he thought it was “parading” he was admitting to. Prosecutor Kimberley Nielsen also chimed in to say the charge was parading, demonstrating or picketing. The judge, however, said he didn’t see much difference.

“I’m sure pandering is equal to one of those,” Walton said.

Lol... What a maroon!

Is the judge aware that cities all over the United States had their downtown windows boarded up on Nov 3 in anticipation of a Trump victory? Riots were expected but the cheating was so overwhelming that Biden was declared the winner. We did not riot.

"U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton shouted at Fort Pierce, Fla., resident..."

Judge Walton is himself guilty of drinking the Jan. 6 Kool-aid....there was no riot inside the White House until BLM and antifa started it with their pushing people not to turn back and whipping up the perfect storm with capitol police doing nothing to stem the madness...I suspect, as was programed.

Now we're having the news 24/7 of an unknown, Gabby and her boyfriend, making national news to get us to look away from our Southern border which is in (chaos as 1000 people a day cross into America) and so called president will do little about it. Joy Reid, Don Lemon and all the other Marxists misinform about the illegals grabbing the reigns of the BP horses saying the BP is whipping the illegals...THAT IS JUST NOT SO JOY REID AND THE REST OF THE KNOW-NOTHING CROWD. Human trafficking especially men with little girls as their kidnapped children....watch the Instagram...shame on the judge and shame on the media and shame on Joy Reid and all the other media liars.

This will never end. The USA is screwed and there is not much we can do about it. Vote? Run for office? I don’t trust our elections anymore, so why vote? and I don’t see running for office these days is healthy for most folks. I wouldn’t because I am older and don’t know the first thing about running for office.
