Oh yes...Got another one...theyre dropping like flies

[Rustyeye77]

Federal agents on Sunday arrested a 62-year-old Hillsboro man in connection with the Jan. 6 takeover of the U.S. Capitol.

Reed Knox Christensen is accused of assaulting a federal law enforcement officer during the Capitol siege, federal prosecutor Paul Maloney told a magistrate judge.

An FBI video on the U.S. Department of Justice website shows him pushing past a barrier in front of the Capitol and grappling with several officers, according to a federal complaint.


Christensen made his first appearance Monday in federal court in Portland, becoming the third person arrested in Oregon tied by federal prosecutors to the insurrection in Washington, D.C. Another man was arrested in Vancouver last month.

Assaulting a police officer.... 20 years

Buh-bye

[Sanity Claws]

1. At 62, that means he will spend the rest of his life in prison

These idiots lived in a bubble of Fox News and QAnon and never thought that there would be repercussions.

[Rustyeye77]

2. "Your honor....I...I...I....didn't know."

"WHAT ???.... what do you mean 20 years ???

[Maraya1969]

3. He's only 62! He looks a lot older to me. Plus I'm 63 and I hope to hell I don't look

that old!

[Marcuse]

17. A lifetime of hate ages one.

[Progressive Jones]

32. Same here! I just turned 62. No way do I look as old as this guy. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

35. I'm 64

And I don't look that old either.
I don't look like a kid, but he looks like some of my golf crowd in their 70s. And, those guys do look older than me.

[Deuxcents]

4. He does look older than 62

I hope no sympathy for him come sentencing time.

[Rustyeye77]

5. I have no proof...

but he has the look of someone with dementia.

[Pepsidog]

6. That's what paranoia does to you and worrying about baby blood sucking Libs in pizza shops.

18. "was working as a design engineer for Intel Corp."

21. So much for my theory .

i'm a duh

[lagomorph777]

24. Intel must be scrambling to review his designs.

Who knows what he might have embedded in them?

[RVN VET71]

48. I'm 75 and could be his twin.

Seriously, a youthful looking 75 that guy is. But prison food may age him even faster. Unless he receives foolishly placed mercy instead of justice.

[NQAS]

7. Next step. . .

What I'm waiting for is for the pleas to begin and people start going to jail.

And trial being held and these terrorists being convicted and going to jail.

And, related to a press release from DHS yesterday, I want to see white supremacists and domestic terrorists within the USG rooted out and, ideally, indicted for any number of crimes and then tried and convicted. Though I am cynical that this will happen. If these domestic terrorists are domestic terrorists off the clock, then their vile beliefs and behavior will only count if they're caught. And you know that they are going to claim infringement of constitutional rights to combat efforts to toss their asses to the curb.

[hibbing]

8. I truly believe hardly any of these people will serve any time

So, I have not been getting very excited about it. I sure hope I'm wrong, but they are white and counter to some opinions, they all weren't a bunch of yahoos.

Peace

[Woodwizard]

11. I believe you are correct

A few high profile ones will get time, the rest a slap on the wrist and probation if that.

[FakeNoose]

15. A criminal conviction will do enough damage

Whether they go to prison or not ... well it's not for us to say. Some of these guys can afford good lawyers. If they're senior citizens with a "clean" record, they'll probably get probation.

[Claire Oh Nette]

16. Felons can't vote.

Or own guns.

They did it to themselves.

I think once the first Regular Joe gets sentenced to ten years in prison, there will be a rush to change their pleas. I see a lot of prison sentences of 20 years, with time off for good behavior, they may serve 5-12.

Prison has a way of sobering one up.

Screw the lot of them.

[LiberalArkie]

25. And while in prison can not get social Security

[ThatJustHappened]

31. You've got the wrong administration

-- Biden DOJ under Garland is prosecuting to fullest extent

-- 400 arrested already

-- Figliuzzi sources indicate 500+ to be charged

-- Many charged with conspiracy (20 years)


Per the previous poster, there will be very few trials. Vast majority will plead guilty. And looking at such long sentences, most will be doing multiple years.


97% of federal cases and 94% of state cases end via plea bargain.
https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/11/opinion/sunday/go-to-trial-crash-the-justice-system.html


The U.S. criminal code defines sedition as part of a broad category that includes treason. The actual crime is called “seditious conspiracy.” This involves using—or planning to use—physical force against the U.S. government, as well as efforts to “seize, take, or possess” government property, or “delay the execution of any law of the United States” by force. The punishment can be up to 20 years in prison.

9. See ya later agitator.

I wouldn't want to be charged with assault on a police officer. Time to put your affairs in order before leave.

[gab13by13]

10. I hope these traitors

lose their guns. Goodbye binkies.

[calimary]

13. LOL!!! You nailed it!

“Goodbye binkies”!!!

[bottomofthehill]

12. "Old enough to know better" my mother would say

The Officers almost don’t know what to do with the old fool.

[BobTheSubgenius]

14. I worry about the felons in this case choosing a jury trial,

hoping for that one juror who agrees and won't vote for a conviction no matter what. What are the odds that, in the 12 people randomly selected for jury duty, at least one isn't an insurrectionist at heart?

[calimary]

19. Hopefully there's a shunning that will follow.

These jerks deserve to be shunned by society, especially if they somehow escape the legal penalties they’ve earned.

For them: No justice? Then no peace.

[BobTheSubgenius]

42. I'm totally with you.

They are little short of monsters, if at all. They deserve whatever society and the criminal justice system mandates.

[ThatJustHappened]

33. Don't Worry Be Happy

Only 3% of federal cases go to trial

[BobTheSubgenius]

41. True, but it's the defendant's choice.

Jury trials are a Constitutional right, as I'm sure you know. I also think it's a viable defence strategy, from their POV. Hate it, but there it is.

49. The chances of a MAGAt rioter

Choosing to go to trial
AND
Getting a hung jury
Are quite remote

D.C. voted for Biden over Trump
Percentage 92.15% to 5.40%


So at a 3% chance of going to trial
AND
A 5% chance of an acquittal juror

That puts the odds at about 1 in 660

And with ~500 being charged, one or two might beat the odds, but even they could be retried.

So, yeah, thankfully they're all fabulously f#cked, all 500 of 'em.

50. You know, I really hadn't considered the venue.

Great point. The numbers are not at all in their favour, which makes me happy.

Is that wrong?

Thank you for the useful response!

[Hassler]

20. So much winning, episode 300+

[rsdsharp]

22. Why do you never see this guy and Ron Johnson together?

[Rustyeye77]

23. Hmmm...good pickup

[SeattleVet]

26. What is it they always say?

Oh, yeah - "If he'd just complied with the police..."

[spanone]

27. When are they going to arrest the man who called them all to arms?

[kentuck]

38. They are too scared to open that can of worms...

Even though everybody knows his is guilty.

And contrary to popular myth, he is above the law.

That's how I see it.

[spanone]

43. You are probably right, but it's not what the country needs....imho

[oldsoftie]

28. After 300-400 arrests WHEN are they finally going to start getting those Antifa!?

I've been told it was THEY who were the REAL troublemakers that day.
Wait, all these arrests are just a smokescreen for the REAL arrests that will be coming!! Thats it!

[Rabrrrrrr]

44. Yes! These are just the patriots willing to sacrifice themselves. Once the antifa starts getting

arrested, we'll also then see gathering proof about how the election was stolen from Trump!

This is all part of the plan for Trump to own the goddamn libtards of this country!

[oldsoftie]

47. And by waiting so long, nobody will see it coming. nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

51. That's right!

just like I saw numerous Trump supporters post - and I'm totally not lying - Trump is playing 5-, 6-, or 7-dimensional chess while the dems are playing checkers.

Seriously, I saw local MAGAts post that multiple times on-line.

The delusion of Trump's genius runs terrifyingly deep.

[dchill]

30. Quite the amateur grappler!

He must be so proud.

[ailsagirl]

34. Good riddance to bad garbage

[kentuck]

36. Did he turn himself in?

Or was he trying to hide out from the Feds?

Unless he is guilty, I would think he would want to clear his name as soon as possible?

[ProfessorGAC]

37. This Quote Sticks In My Throat

From the linked article:

“I’m a little surprised that I’m losing my critter weapons ... when I haven’t been convicted of anything,” Christensen told the judge.

He's been indicted, arrested and is being arraigned for charges that include attacking a cop. But, this drooling moron thinks he should still get to have his guns.

[Rabrrrrrr]

45. And while still thinking, I would be willing to bet money, that a cop executing a black kid

for non-compliance while being out after dark is super legitimate and appropriate.

"But, but, but, but, I never thought the injustice would affect ME! That's not fair!"

Goddamn snowflake fucks.

I so hate the death penalty, but I find myself very much in agreement that treason is the one thing that deserves it. A murderer is dangerous to a small part of the whole; a traitor is dangerous to everyone and everything.

[Rustyeye77]

46. I hate to admit it but...

I agree with you 100%.

[czarjak]

39. BLM and Antifa assholes are so obvious, huh, rubes?

[colsohlibgal]

Maybe come back to the real world while in Prison.
