Home confinement for Jan. 6th traitor (guy on stairs). Thought he was in the White House.

Trump rioter, QAnon supporter Douglas Austin Jensen thought he invaded White House, not Capitol, video shows

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/13/trump-rioter-douglas-austin-jensen-thought-he-invaded-white-house-not-capitol.html

One of the most notorious defendants charged in the Jan. 6 riot by Trump supporters thought that he and other rioters had invaded the White House, not the U.S. Capitol, newly released video reveals.

“This is me touching the f------ White House, this is why we’re here,” bragged Douglas Austin Jensen as he was on the Capitol grounds, according to a selfie video from his own cellphone that day.

Jensen’s lack of awareness about where he actually was played a role in the decision Tuesday by Washington federal court Judge Timothy Kelly to release Jensen after six months in jail into home confinement in Iowa.

After pushing inside, he led an enraged mob that chased Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman through hallways in the Capitol complex as the cop lured them away from the Senate chamber.

Soooo many videos of them thinking the Capitol is the White House, and Congress works in the White House.

He was there to deny the will of the people by use of force. A lengthy stint in the license plate factory is demanded. I always believed ignorance was no excuse. If he was a minority the police would have killed him on the spot. Hell, If it was BLM, the authorities would have employed deadly force.

Getting brutally mocked on national television by Stephen Colbert. The fun starts at around 6:40, although the rest is worth watching:

Not running around loose (even if theoretically in his house). He's dangerous.

Why are judges ignoring reality? Some of these thugs have already been caught with pipe bombs after getting sprung on bail.

Yeah Judge he’s so stupid he thought that was the White House.

Maybe the Judge wants to get keep the population down in the jail.
