Judge denies release for Jake Angeli, Phoenix man who raided Capitol wearing horned hat

A federal judge denied a request Monday to release from custody Jake Angeli, the Phoenix man whose elaborate tattoos, face paint and horned fur hat made him one of the signature figures of the Jan. 6 raid on the U.S. Capitol.

Judge Royce Lamberth said in his ruling that he heard no new information in a hearing last week that would compel him to revisit his March order that Angeli be held while awaiting trial on six federal charges relating to the incursion on the Capitol.

On Jan. 6., Congress was meeting in a joint session, presided over by then-Vice President Mike Pence, to officially certify the election of President Joe Biden and the defeat of former President Donald Trump.

Angeli and scores of others stormed the buildings in what became a mob takeover that sent lawmakers scrambling for safety. Angeli, in footage captured by a journalist with The New Yorker, strutted into the U.S. Senate chamber, posed for pictures on the dais and left a note for Pence.

as it is said on social media
Fucked Around, Found Out


edited to add, from the cited article..."Angeli, who was charged under his legal name Jacob Chansley, has since been held in what his defense attorney said was solitary confinement, which has done damage to his mental well-being."

I don't give a fig about his mental health.

Society is safer with him locked up so his mental problems are not demonstrated at our expense. Besides, maybe he can get some needed help and return to society at some point in (the far distant) future a more balanced person.

He, Ashli Babbit and a few other “famous” ones will be in the history books and documentaries. So he did manage to be someone, just probably not who he imagined.

There was a 16-year-old kid named Kalief Browder held in Rikers Island for three years, two of them in solitary, for stealing a backpack, a petty theft for which he wasn't even guilty. But he had been on probation for another crime that he probably didn't commit either. The theft charges were eventually dropped. Two years after his release, the kid whose former teachers had said was smart and fun-loving hanged himself. Kalief Browder never tried to overthrow the government, and I don't think his jailers ever served him organic meals.
