Nazi-adjacent J6er to judge: Please let me keep delivering my interstate FedEx route while I await trial Judge: OK, but you better not be messing with me. FedEx: Uh, hey, guys. A judge let this Jan. 6 defendant deliver his FedEx route. But FedEx says he doesn’t work there. https://www.rawstory.com/raw-investigates/january-6-william-beals-fedex/ William Beals, who breached the U.S. Capitol and later teamed up with neo-Nazis to harass drag shows, is out on bond while facing Jan. 6-related charges. But Raw Story has learned that Beals’ employment situation — a major reason he’s free to cross state lines pending trial — is not as he described it under oath four days ago. During his initial appearance in federal court in Knoxville, Tenn. on Aug. 25, Beals told Magistrate Judge Jill E. McCook via a video link from the Hamilton County Detention Center in Chattanooga that he is driving a FedEx delivery route in northern Georgia. She set his conditions of release to allow him to travel between the two states while awaiting trial. A spokesperson for FedEx told Raw Story that Beals was under evaluation by an independent contractor that provides ground delivery services for FedEx in the Chattanooga, Tenn. area, but that he ultimately was not hired and has no association with FedEx. “He never provided services for FedEx and won’t be in the future,” a FedEx corporate official, who requested his name not be published to speak candidly, told Raw Story on Monday afternoon. “That independent contractor cut ties with him.” The FedEx official declined to elaborate on when the independent contractor severed the relationship with Beals. Reached by phone by Raw Story on Tuesday morning, Beals responded with an expletive-laden tirade. He declined to comment on his employment situation or testimony during his court appearance. After being sworn in for his initial appearance in Knoxville, Tenn., last week, the 52-year-old Beals told McCook that he has no mental or physical health issues, and she declared him competent to go forward with the court proceeding. McCook also found that Beals qualifies for public representation and appointed an assistant federal defender to represent him. Beals then told McCook that he works for FedEx. He said he worked “from the Chattanooga office” in Tennessee and then drives back to Georgia “to do a FedEx route through Blairsville.” McCook said she “would be comfortable with Mr. Beals continuing in his current employment,” and a prosecutor told the court that the government had “no issue with that travel either.” Beals has previously acknowledged that he has a criminal record for second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, and he has a documented history of harassing people at drag shows across Tennessee during the past nine months. Beals previously worked as a union carpenter, and in June 2021, the Tennessee Valley Authority banned him from its facilities, citing his “unauthorized access to the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” The government did not seek pre-trial detention for Beals during his appearance before McCook, although the judge noted that he has a record of prior convictions. McCook said during the hearing that she does have some concerns about Beals’ history of violence, but that his case did not rise to the level of requiring pre-trial detention, which is typically based on flight risk and danger to the community. Rachelle Barnes, a public information officer for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee, told Raw Story that her office has “no comment” after being informed that FedEx — contrary to Beals’ testimony in court on Aug. 25 — said Beals does not work for the company as an employee or contractor. Beals waived an identity hearing in the Eastern District of Tennessee, and a prosecutor from the U.S Attorney’s Office for Eastern District of Tennessee told the court that his next court appearance will be a preliminary hearing in the District of Columbia, where his case originated, on Sept. 5. McCook said Beals would be required to notify the federal probation office if anything changed with the FedEx delivery route Beals said he had. McCook further admonished Beals that he should contact his lawyer or probation officer if he has any questions about the conditions of his release. The judge told Beals that if he has to come back to court because he violated the conditions of his release, “the excuse, ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t know that violated my conditions,’ as you might imagine — that won’t win the day.” “I was raised on that old-school tradition,” Beals told the judge. “I believe you are a man of your word,” McCook told Beals.
In the continuing stream of 1/6 criminals, we have this guy who argues with the judge, swears the election was stolen, won't shut up, and gets sentenced to 5 months for contempt WHILE THE JURY IS DELIBERATING his guilt or innocence for his crimes. Trump supporter on trial for Jan. 6 charges says he was 'very comfy' in senator’s chair Brandon Fellows said the Trump-appointed judge was running a "kangaroo court." The judge later held him in contempt and sentenced him to five months in prison. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/ju...rges-says-was-comfy-senators-chair-rcna102360

Typical unbalanced MAGA idiot. Lock Him Up! Tearful Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola Does a 180 After Judge Shows Little Mercy https://www.thedailybeast.com/tearf...ola-does-a-180-after-judge-shows-little-mercy An emotional Dominic Pezzola insisted he was full of regret on Friday. After he was sent to the slammer for 10 years, he changed his tune. A member of the Proud Boys who smashed a Capitol window with a stolen police shield to let in a mob of rioters on Jan. 6 tearfully begged for mercy before he was sentenced on Friday—only to turn around and yell “Trump won!” after a judge sent him to the slammer for 10 years. Dominic Pezzola, who VICE first identified by his nickname “Spazzo,” was convicted in May of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers, and robbery involving government property alongside four other Proud Boy co-defendants. His smashing of the Capitol window was one of the first breaches of the building and allowed hordes of wild MAGA fanatics to storm the building. “You opened up the Capitol like a can opener,” U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said Friday, adding that the tradition of peacefully transferring power was “among the most precious things we had as Americans” before Jan. 6. His sentence was half of what prosecutors originally sought and was lesser than those of two co-defendants, Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl, who were recently handed 17 and 15 years behind bars, respectively. Pezzola was acquitted of a seditious conspiracy charge, unlike his fellow Proud Boys, but prosecutors described him as the “literal poster boy” for the group’s conspiracy. During an emotional plea to Kelly on Friday, Pezzola insisted he was “a changed and humbled man” and said he stood before the court “with a heart full of regret.” “This was the worst, most regrettable decision of my life. I fully realize the gravity of my actions,” he said. Pezzola reportedly wiped his eyes as his wife and mom tearfully addressed the court. Lisa Magee told the court that she had struggled to find employment because of her husband’s actions, and her daughters had been subjected to bullying and harassment. “I truly believe if he could change the course of that day, he would,” she said. Even with Magee’s beg for mercy, she was far from making an excuse for Pezzola’s behavior. “As I said on the stand, he’s a fucking idiot,” she said, according to a tweet from Politico reporter Kyle Cheney. But even after a tearful plea and claiming he accepted full responsibility, Pezzola reportedly smiled, raised his fist in the air and shouted “Trump won!” as he exited the courtroom.
