Lawyer for Tommy Webster, retired NYPD cop accused of beating an MPD officer with flagpole on #J6, says his client is in a "dormitory setting" with people serving time for "inner-city crimes" - "for a middle aged guy whose never been arrested before this has been a shock for him"

Webster has a "sparkling record" with the NYPD which led to "the lofty assignment of protecting the mayor," attorney says - but if he won't be released he wants him moved back to jail in upstate New York

(He's not in D.C., where riot detainees are in a separate wing, causing friction on both sides -- like others arrested elsewhere he's been moved around the country on the way to D.C.)

1. Oh boo hoo hoo

[Sneederbunk]

2. The learning experience is complimentary.

Will serve him well when he goes to the Big House.

[2naSalit]

10. K&R

[forgotmylogin]

42. I think the kids these days have a saying? It goes something like "Fuck around and find out"? n/t

[malaise]

3. Consequences Mofo

that is all

[gratuitous]

4. Oh dear!

Tommy has suffered a shock at being treated like a common "inner-city" criminal for his criminal activities. How distressing it must be for him.

Just a moment, Imma search my Big Bag of Fucks . . . Nope, I am totally out of fucks to give for poor Tommy Webster. But if he's looking for sympathy, I'd suggest he search his Funk & Wagnalls between shit and syphillis.

[LakeArenal]

23. Oh no, insurrection beats inner city crime by a treason.

[lagomorph777]

26. He committed insurrection in the inner city of DC, so...

(No the Capitol is not a slum area, but it is in the middle of town.)

[aggiesal]

40. Here you go ...

[Escurumbele]

49. So good...should be played to the insurrectionists demanding more comfort

Thank you

[ZenDem]

5. Imagine the shock...

...of your 'fellow officers' as they were getting beaten with American Flags and a slew of other weapons, pepper sprayed, spit on, sworn at, beaten, trampled, punched, eyes gouged, ridiculed and humiliated...damned whiny snowflake.

In fact, I think this ass should be given the opportunity to ask those officers for their opinions on his current scary housing situation.

[Claire Oh Nette]

51. Right?

How would he want a perp treated who beat the shit out of one of his fellow officers? Bet he'd be in there helping with the beat down.

The Baretta Theme is playing on loop in my head.

Seems more and more that whole Golden Rule thing is really good advice. Too bad none of these insurrectionists understand what goes around, comes around.

Karma is making a big comeback in 2021.

6. The audacity of these racists

"Your honor, all I did was assault a police officer while invading the U.S. Capitol Building in an attempt to overturn the results of the presidential election because I've become convinced that I'm going to be 'replaced' by black people. And now I'm in prison with all these black people! Surely there must be some mistake!"

[superpatriotman]

9. The Audacity of Dopes

as it were...

[vlyons]

15. yes get used to it

He will be replaced by blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, Moslems, Buddhists, women, and his grandchildren will present him with beautiful mixed race great grandchildren.

[dalton99a]

7. He means 'for a middle aged WHITE guy'

[nycbos]

8. As Mr Krabs would say

[soothsayer]

11. Translation: "There's Black people in here..!"

[dalton99a]

36. Bingo.

[MagickMuffin]

12. "sparkling record" until he beat a MPD officer with a flag pole

and I'm assuming the flag was still attached!


He deserves what he signed up for.

So, Tommy Webster don't be such a snowflake. You should know that jail is a determent, yes! You brought this on yourself. I hope the Officer you beat with a flagpole is grateful you are where you are and need to be, locked up.

[LaMouffette]

13. Insurrections have consequences!

[dclarston13]

14. Diesel Therapy

Its a way of breaking them down.

[Grasswire2]

18. yes -- they tried it on Susan McDougall, remember.

She was treated like shit because she wouldn't testify against Bill Clinton in a civil case. Chained her to the toilet in her cell, shackled her when out in court, long periods of solitary, ran her on the diesel circuit where male prisoners would verbally assault her...

[Grasswire2]

16. A preview of what we will hear when Ivanka tries her socialite shtick on the ladies in prison.

Lookin' forward to that, with great interest.

[EYESORE 9001]

17. Where is your white privilege now?

[RockRaven]

19. Strange but true facts: DC is a city, and the Capitol is in the inner region of it.

Sounds like those other guys are being held with someone who committed inner city crimes.

[PJMcK]

20. Really?!

His lawyer had the nerve to stand in court and make that claim?

I bet the judge had to call a recess so he wouldn't laugh out loud.

[LuckyLib]

45. Isn't it amazing. Judges in these cases must have to stifle themselves

non-stop to keep from emitting a huge guffaw. Most of them have seen it all -- but the whiny white folks really take the cake!

[Downtown Hound]

21. Would he prefer solitary confinement?

That's usually the only other option given to most folks. I will add that I find it strange that he is a former cop in general population, but hey, like I said, the alternative is...well, take your pick.

I would pay money to see his reaction back in the day to anybody he arrested complain that they would be housed with "inner city criminals." Who wants to bet that his response would be something along the lines of, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." Or, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." Especially if their crime had been beating a cop with a flagpole.

Like I said, genpop or solitary. Those are the options that would be given to anybody else, even those in there on much smaller offenses. Why should he be different?

[nykym]

22. Maybe

Gitmo would be a better placement for this insurrectionist.
At least he would be with his own kind a terrorist.

[kentuck]

25. Baretta theme song:

If you can't do the time -

Don't do the crime.

[Initech]

27. Let's see how much I care...

[jcgoldie]

28. "Inner city crimes"

Gee I wonder what thats code for...? 🤔

[yellowcanine]

29. He is the eye gouger. Let him rot.

[Scrivener7]

30. Jail's not supposed to be fun, Tommy.

(I'd bet my house Tommy has said that in the past when the topic of prisoners rights comes up.)

[UpInArms]

31. If you can't do the time,

don’t do the crime.

[The Magistrate]

32. No One, Ma'am

Feels the iniquities of our criminal justice system more keenly than a conservative, middle-aged white man in its toils for the first time....

[Justice matters.]

44. He shoulda thought of that before believing the biggest conman in History's big lie...

I bet he's (or was) a Fux $nooze viewer.

[marble falls]

33. Tell him to hold his breath and I'll work at squeezing out a tear.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

34. Boo Hoo

[Leith]

35. He wants to be locked up with better criminals?

Umm... yeah. They'll get right on that.

[DENVERPOPS]

37. He is fishing for

camp cupcake................

[Taylor Picker]

38. Looks like this dumbass is feeling the "inner-city pressure."

He'll never be a concert flautist.

[AllaN01Bear]

39. well wahhhhh. should not have attennded a innsurection u dern fool.

[monkeyman1]

41. ol' day's ,you would be hung for treason! keep that in mind !! fool.

[IbogaProject]

43. he is on his own

The inmates dislike that he is a cop. The guards hate that he assaulted cops. Oh well actions meet consequences.

[bottomofthehill]

46. If someone did the exact same thing he was caught on film doing to him when he was a cop

That person would be facing

Assaulting a police officer is a Class C felony punishable by 1-15 years in prison. If a dangerous weapon is used during the altercation, the charge escalates to aggravated assault and the punishment increases in severity to a 1-25 year term in state prison.

Now why would this asshole think he should be treated any different.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. This asshole is worse than many as he directly attacked an officer, and as a former cop (granted a different jurisdiction) he knows the punishment. Hope he is ready for a long stint behind bars. He has earned nothing less.

[Aviation Pro]

47. Did you commit a crime in an urban area, little boo-boo terrorist?

Then you committed an inner city crime, you fucking traitor.

[CaptainTruth]

48. I'm trying hard to care, but I just can't.

[W T F]

50. A privileged white criminal requesting a segregated prison.....

Yep, The DC insurrection was indeed, a race riot
