WUSA9
...In a new filing, Pezzolas lawyer, Jonathan Zucker, says his clients 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:
----
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 groups involvement in a series of violent incidents in Oregon and Washington, as well as its involvement in Unite the Right.

(2,636 posts)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.

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

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

I was wondering.
Flooring? It's almost as legit as roofing typically is.
