MAGA rioter gets pre-trial release by proving that he was too stupid to have planned his actions.
The “I’m too stupid to dunnit” defense. Stone the crows.
So he thought he was storming the White House and not the Capitol? Isn’t that still a crime? I can’t see how this makes him any less of a menace to society.
Why would he want to storm the White House. His Messiah was in charge there.
Beats me, but that’s what he’s shouting in the video.
My guess is that he thinks “The White House” is where all government happens and he’s too fucking stupid to understand that Congress meets in a completely different building. OR, he thought Biden had already been installed as President and was storming the White House to remove him.
Either way, he’s still (an alleged) violent insurrectionist and should be kept locked up until trial.
If he didn’t know which building he was storming on January 6th, that doesn’t bode well for him showing up for his trial. He may think he’s going to the courthouse and wind up at Arby’s.
'I’d like to plead ‘no contest, your honor.’
‘Sir, this is the Arby’s drive-thru.’
‘Ohh, then make it a hamberder, freedom fries and covfefe.’
‘Black coffee?’
‘Are you calling me a RACIST!!!’
“Ketchup, sir?”
“No, I don’t think I ever will.”
He’s a convicted felon so possession of firearms would mean real time behind bars.
So if I try to rob a grocery store, but I’m too stupid to read, and end up trying to rob a gas station, they’ll let me skate because I was yelling “I’m robbing this grocery store!” during the botched hold up of the gas station?
Something is not quite right here.
Yeah, I’m sure there’s more to that case.
And see:
Did she sign this in blood? Is that a bloody fingerprint?
Looks like it. If it is would that be considered assault?
Is this an insanity attempt or a stupidity reveal?
The @ MacFarlane twitter stream has been on fire for quite a while with all the ins/outs of the insurrectionist cases as they weave and wend. Worth monitoring.
Should this be @Macfarlanenews ?
Yes, my bad
Insanity pleas are pretty stupid in the US.
If you are convicted of a crime, you pay your fine, spend your time in prison until you are out. Probably time off for good behavior.
If you are found insane, then you are locked up in a mental asylum until doctors who have an interest in keeping you there decide that you are no longer insance.
I’d much rather go the prison route.
Where were you when R.P. McMurphy needed you??
