A New Jersey electrician who repeatedly attacked police officers during the Jan. 6, 2021, siege at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Friday to 12 years in prison by a judge who called him “a menace to our society.”
Christopher Joseph Quaglin argued with and insulted U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden before and after the judge handed him one of the longest prison sentences among hundreds of Capitol riot cases.
“You’re Trump’s worst mistake of 2016,” Quaglin told McFadden, who was nominated to the court by then-President Donald Trump in 2017.
“What an outrage. What a disgrace,” the judge said.
Quaglin complained about his jail conditions and pushed conspiracy theories about the Jan. 6 siege during his rambling remarks in the courtroom. He also took issue with labeling the Jan. 6 attack as an insurrection.
Just like the Second Amendment, there was no possible way for our ancestors to foresee the multitudinous manners of future flag disrespect.
Flags cost money and they’d never believe anyone would be stupid enough to make a burkini out of them for a 325lb “Christian” man.
That’s not true. Abraham Lincoln designed the flag specifically to prevent it from being disrespected. The color choices make it physically impossible to defecate on.
Best ChatGPT answer so far. Thank you for poisoning the data set.
It’s actually a reference to a Mr show sketch. But yeah that’s a bonus
Shit, I must have missed a memo! Did we collectively decide to start poisoning Lemmy comments proactively?
(don’t get me wrong, I support this idea, just looking for clarity)
