PROUD BOY Dominic 'SPAZ' Pezzola 'Consumed With Guilt'... Why? Because He's GUILTY Of 'TERRORISM!!'

This violent psychopath would like us to believe he’s remorseful...
WUSA9

...In a new filing, Pezzola’s lawyer, Jonathan Zucker, says his client’s participation in the Capitol riot was an “aberration in an otherwise exemplary life.” He says Pezzola served in the military and has supported his family and a number of employees, who are now out of work due to his incarceration, with his small business.

“Since his arrest, having time to reflect and see how things have revealed themselves, he now realizes he was duped into this mistaken beliefs,” Zucker wrote. “As a result of his actions, he has left his wife, children and employees in a precarious and likely disastrous position. He is consumed with guilt for having done so… Pezzola is the sole source of financial support for the family which consists of his wife and two children. His inability to support the family while incarcerated has placed them all in desperate financial straits. Pezzola regrets his decision to participate in the events of January 6. He disavows and seeks to sever any relationship and involvement in future activities of the Proud Boys or any similar groups.”

Apparently he has led an exemplary life until this point... THIS GUY -THIS GUY - has led an exemplary life until this point?!?!?!



There is nothing exemplary about being a far right fascist wanker, being the member of a group that:

Rank-and-file Proud Boys and leaders regularly spout white nationalist memes and maintain affiliations with known extremists. They are known for anti-Muslim and misogynistic rhetoric. Proud Boys have appeared alongside other hate groups at extremist gatherings such as the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
----
The Proud Boys stage frequent rallies around the country. Many have descended into violent street riots where members openly brawl with counterprotesters. Indeed, as early as summer 2018, a document circulated by Washington state law enforcement described the group’s involvement in a series of violent incidents in Oregon and Washington, as well as its involvement in Unite the Right.

You lie down with lying, violent far right white nationalist, racist, sexist nasty you do not get to claim Nazi Buyer remorse...

His concern for his family and employees is touching. Would he have that same concern if he wasn't headed to prison?

Yes he is guilty but before he is sent off maybe he was so stupid he just got caught up in the moment.

Check the tats. Those take time and planning. He's steeped enough in white supremacy to have the tats. He knew what he was doing. He's a Marine. He chose to violate the Constitution, not uphold it. He chose to attack the Constitution, not defend it. He chose sedition over his oath as a Marine.

Reinstate him, discharge other than honorably, court martial him.
He gets no Veterans benefits for sedition. Gitmo awaits.

Even if that were true that doesn't make his crime any less, because only a criminal mind could have been so duped.

Several times I was in downtown Portland with my daughter when they showed up. There was always violence - they are terrorists plain and simple.

I find it hard to feel merciful for acts of terrorism. Republicans are all about law and order; lock him up.

until they were caught. That includes about a third of ISIS defendants.

If the U.S. can sentence a nun to 8 years for defacing military property, they can punish Pezzola for much more serious crimes.

At every rally you go to, you really can't declare the last one a mistake. I tried to find out what business he runs, I couldn't find any. I did run across that he had bomb making manuals, probably for his children's homeschooling

Apparently it is not incorporated since it does not show up on the NYS Department of State Division of Corporations search site.

Producing what? Selling what? Inciting insurrection?

It must be pretty bad if his attorney isn't going into details.
