    When do they open the investigations for all those Hamas fans that vandalized Ben Franklin last week?

    Just 1 arrest after pro-Palestinian DC protest spurs acts of vandalism, bid to scale White House fence
    Man arrested for destruction of property, DC police investigating other acts of vandalism during pro-Palestinian march that drew thousands

    Police in Washington, D.C. arrested just one person as tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrated in the city on Saturday night.


    Protesters could be seen vandalizing the White House fence and wrenching at the gate, and antisemitic graffiti was left on several buildings along the protesters' path through the city. The Metropolitan Police Department says it made sole arrest of an adult male during the hours-long march.

    Good riddance. The sentence should have been much longer.

    "Remorseless" MAGA insurrectionist who violently beat cops on J6 sentenced to nearly five years in prison
    https://boingboing.net/2023/11/17/r...sentenced-to-nearly-five-years-in-prison.html

    A 41-year-old MAGA terrorist with an annoying four-word name was sentenced to 4 years and 10 months in prison for violently assaulting police officers during the attempted overthrow of the United States government on January 6, 2021.

    Kenneth Joseph Owen Thomas of East Liverpool, Ohio, was sentenced to five years in prison for assaulting law enforcement officers defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Court records reveal that Thomas, influenced by extremist ideologies, "punched and/or violently pushed his fists directly into" the chests of at least two officers, as reported by The New York Times. He also confronted the officers, yelling, "You have woken a sleeping giant!" implying that the officers provoked his attack.

    Following his arrest and charges, Thomas appeared on right-wing podcasts, boasting about his violent actions and soliciting funds from red-hat suckers, ultimately raising over $77,000.

    From The New York Times:

    [Court documents] emphasized his apparent lack of regret in their sentencing memo, stating that Mr. Thomas had "expressed no remorse for his crimes," and instead "sought fame and notoriety" after being part of the mob on Jan. 6.

    Judge Dabney Friedrich of U.S. District Court in Washington also ordered Mr. Thomas to pay a $20,000 fine and $2,000 in restitution.

    Hopefully this idiot gets the lengthy sentence he deserves.

    Jan. 6 rioter who used sovereign citizen 'gobbledygook' at trial is found guilty
    A jury convicted Taylor James Johnatakis on multiple charges, including assaulting officers. The federal judge overseeing his trial grew frustrated with his arguments.

    A Jan. 6 rioter who represented himself during a jury trial and advanced sovereign citizen arguments that a federal judge described as "bulls---" and "gobbledygook" was found guilty Tuesday and ordered into government custody.

    Taylor James Johnatakis of Washington state was arrested in February 2021 and went to trial starting last week. After just a few hours of deliberation, a jury found Johntakis guilty on Tuesday of felony counts of obstruction of an official proceeding, assaulting officers and civil disorder, as well as four misdemeanor charges.

    Judge Royce Lamberth had grown frustrated with Johnatakis during a pretrial conference last week that took place the day before jury selection began. Johnatakis repeatedly said that he wanted to accept "full liability" for the charges. “I would like to come to a resolution,” Johnatakis said, though he refused to plead guilty to the charges.

    Johnatakis “could get a lesser sentence" if he "weren’t so hardheaded," Lamberth said.

    "I'm telling you the facts of life. You don't believe me," Lamberth said. "When they find you guilty, you're going to jail."

    Once the jury trial began, Johnatakis didn't call any witnesses or put on a defense.

    "I have repented all my sins," Johnatakis said during the trial, saying he requested that Lamberth "discharge" the matter — a common phrase from sovereign citizens — since, he said, there was no "controversy" before the court.


    During the trial, Johnatakis questioned an FBI agent, Michael Kiley, on whether he accepted Johnatakis' apology for his actions. Kiley responded that it wasn't his place to accept Johnatakis' apology. More than 1,200 people have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack, and more than 400 have received sentences of incarceration. Online "Sedition Hunters" say about 1,000 additional rioters have been identified, but not yet arrested.

    This violent insurrectionist needs more than eight years in prison.

    Jan. 6 rioter shows cop's blood on hands and brags 'I fed him to the people': prosecutor
    https://www.rawstory.com/jack-wade-whitton-2666349836/

    Prosecutors are requesting a lengthy prison sentence for a Kentucky man who rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and was caught on video attacking police officers, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.

    Photos show 33-year-old Jack Wade Whitton Jr. hitting police with a metal crutch and dragging an injured officer to the ground. Prosecutors want him to spend eight years in prison.

    At one point during the riot he yelled, "You're gonna die tonight!"

    In a post to Instagram later that day, he bragged about dragging the injured officer, posting pictures of his bloody hands and writing, “This is from a bad cop. Yea I fed him to the people. Idk his status. And don’t care tbh.”

    Prosecutors want Whitton to spend 97 months in prison and pay a fine of over $61,000.

    Read the full report over at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
