But he WAS beaten and pepper sprayed during the insurrection, yes?
Now to talk about the 140 other officers injured during the riot…
All the Reichwingers are jumping for joy on my Facebook feed about the Capitol Police officer dying of natural causes. It’s like it makes it fine to bear-spray and beat people and if it can’t be proven that they died form that alone, all’s fine.
These people are not patriots, they do not love the US. They’re fascist racists who posed the greatest threat to democracy in the nation’s history. They deserve every charge that can be filed and the maximum sentence when convicted.
Which come to think of it, beating and spraying with irritants is what they already think it’s OK do to, you know, the kind of people who deserve it.
But really, that’s the way Reichwingers (love the expression) will look at things. Remember, they worship aggressive strength and power. So to them, if “merely” being rattled and beaten made his weak system collapse that’s just the fault of that vulnerability: a true strong, powerful hero should have easily brushed it off.
According to your article, he was sprayed with the chemical irritant.
And even if the spray and the assault did not directly cause his death, the ME said the stress caused by them was probably a contributing factor. In some jurisdictions, that’s cause for indicting under Murder in the Third.
It is my understanding that you can’t and shouldn’t convict on “probably”.
In the court of public opinion, however, and among those who profess to be avid supporters of the men and women serving on the Thin Blue Line…

Should any of us be surprised that Middleton guy attended Liberty University (a deliberately misleading business name if ever there was one)? He’s definitely been an anti-American totalitarian in training from the age of 18 and most probably since he was a toddler.

Man linked to Capitol riot convicted of threats to lawmakers | AP News.
A social media agitator was convicted Wednesday on federal charges of threatening to kill members of Congress in a verdict that rejected his claims it was harmless rhetoric.
A jury found Brendan Hunt guilty at the close of a weeklong trial in federal court in Brooklyn.
Hunt, 37, did not deny creating a series of menacing-sounding posts. But he testified that they were often put together while impaired from smoking pot with a bong and drinking beer, and never thought they would be taken seriously.
If you shoot at the King you’d better not miss. Words to live (and die) by.
What a waste of a buzz, if all that’s true. It’s depressing to think that that’s the kind of shit that consumes some people when they’re high.
