The sheer idiocy of your remark aside, and speaking of domestic terrorists,
I'm happy to announce another guilty plea. May the violent Trump terrorist rot in jail for the maximum term:
The man accused of spraying a chemical irritant at the late U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol pleaded guilty Wednesday to disorderly conduct and trespassing charges.
George Tanios, 40, of West Virginia, will also pay $500 in restitution. Tanios will sentenced for the two charges on Dec. 6, according to the plea agreement, and faces up to a year behind bars.
According to Department of Justice (DOJ) charging documents, Tanios traveled to the U.S. Capitol with his friend Julian Khater, of Pennsylvania, after purchasing two cans of Frontiersman bear spray and another two cans of pepper spray.
Tanios and Khater arrived around 2 p.m., when a mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the federal building in an attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 election.
The FBI said in an affidavit that it obtained footage that showed Tanios and Khater “working together to assault law enforcement officers with an unknown chemical substance by spraying officers directly in the face and eyes.”
Tanios and Khater allegedly sprayed several Capitol police officers during the riot, including Sicknick, who suffered from two strokes the next day and died the evening of Jan. 7.
Addendum: It's more than high time we lock up the instigator of the seditious riot and throw the key away. Mr. Merrick---stop being soft on domestic terrorists. [Post edited by Shenhoo at 07/27/2022 11:10PM]
