another one released to home detention in January 6 case....

[IcyPeas]

Judge has ruled Michael Foy of Michigan can be released to home detention in Jan 6 case

Foy's accused of beating police in head & neck w/ hockey stick

Foy is former Marine who argued he never intended to use stick as weapon

Feds say that's "insult to brave and heroic" police

U.S. District Judge Tayna Chutkan noted that while Foy's actions posed a "grave danger" to officers, his lack of criminal record and honorable discharge from the U.S. Marine Corp. last year justified releasing him while awaiting an unspecified trial date.

Foy, who also will be subject to GPS monitoring, is one of the more high-profile and violent cases among more than 500 people charged since January. So far, 11 people from Michigan have been charged with crimes.

Foy is facing eight felony and misdemeanor charges, including obstructing an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers while using a dangerous weapon. Both charges could send him to federal prison for up to 20 years.

1. Damn

Home detention for acts of violence.

2. He was watching the fighting, waiting for a hockey game to break out?

3. So... what changed? Why release him now?

The recordings and concerns over Foy's mental health were enough to push U.S. Magistrate Judge Patricia Morris to order Foy detained in January.

One wonders why the district court judge saw fit to overturn the decision of the magistrate judge. Don't even get me started on the fact that if Foy didn't intend to use a hockey stick as a weapon, he wouldn't have felt the need to bring it with him to a political rally he traveled all the way from Michigan to attend.

And people still think most of these people will be held accountable. LOL.

This country is a joke. And the joke is on us.
