A federal judge lambasted a West Virginia man accused of carrying and using bear spray to attack Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick during the January 6 insurrection before ruling the defendant would stay in jail ahead of his trial.

In a Monday court hearing, prosecutors revealed new video of Sicknick and other officers reacting to being sprayed during the pro-Trump siege earlier this year.

George Tanios of Morgantown, West Virginia, and Julian Khater of State College, Pennsylvania, were arrested on March 14 and charged with conspiring to injure officers and assaulting federal officers, among other charges relating to their participation in the January 6 attack, according to the Department of Justice.

The agency said the two men were seen in video footage working together to "assault law enforcement officers with an unknown chemical substance by spraying officers directly in the face and eyes."

3. Someone that uses a bear spray against a fellow human being should be sprayed w/ it

in return, and/or face jail time. Extensive jail time, especially since they attacked a police officer. Disgusting. I hope that they get the maximum time allowed under federal law.

4. Well, under the UCMJ Sedition is punishable by death

If its good enough the the military its good enough for all of them.
