Proud Boy begs judge not to send him back to jail where other Capitol rioters are getting beaten up

[634-5789]

The legal team for the self-professed “Sergeant of Arms” of the far-right group Proud Boys is asking a federal judge not to send their client to jail, partly because other people charged and convicted for partaking in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 have allegedly been the target of abuse behind bars, Law&Crime reports.

Lawyers for 30-year-old Ethan Nordean cited recent reports detailing alleged assaults and poor treatment of Capitol riot defendants by jail guards. The specific article cited by Nordean’s lawyers was published by POLITICO, but has been deleted from the outlet’s website some reason. Insider points out that the POLITICO article detailed one defendant’s claim that another defendant “was severely beaten by correctional officers” and is now blind in one eye with a “skull fracture and detached retina.”

The defendant reportedly claimed that other accused Capitol rioters have experienced violence and threats from guards.

Nordean’s lawyers say they have personally learned of another Capitol riot defendant who face abuse from guards at a D.C. facility.

“Guards would snap photographs of the defendant with their phones without his consent, which they appeared to be sharing with other parties through their phones,” Nordean’s lawyers wrote in their complaint.

7. Prison violence is not justice. Prisons don't keep people safe.

21. Thanks for pointing that out

The consequence for committing a crime should not include physical violence. I just don't get why people, including some here on DU, cheer for prison violence and sometimes even make approving comments about prison rape.

22. People talk a lot about reform but really they want it so the system hurts only those they want

it to hurt.

These are the drones/hangers on of the movement.

The really vicious members won't be making silly videos but will encourage them
in order to downplay the dangerous members.

13. I bet these are some of the same people who used to say

what an easy life prisoners all had: three hots and a cot, plus health care. Usually the food is bad, rarely hot, they are for the most part desperately overcrowded and there's essentially no health care.

19. I was in briefly once (or twice), and there was a guy a few cells down that screamed all night.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

24. Yes, I'd heard of that sort of thing also.

No matter why a person is in prison, it's not a vacation.

16. They get to beat people, but they don't get beaten back? Maybe they should learn to STFU .....

... about the great replacement while in jail. Somebody getting smacked around in jail for free speech should be a badge of honor for these tweeks. Pretty weak tea, these "proud" boys.

17. Huh...I thought PB's were proud of their martial skills.

[luckone]

18. "article detailed one defendant's claim".. I notice it's all claims and reports of

These people have heads full of delusions to begin with it and I am sure are extra paranoid in jail

20. Just stand your ground and be proud, boy.
