N.J. gym owner charged with storming Capitol, punching cop set to plead guilty

The New Jersey gym owner, who can be seen on video punching a law enforcement officer during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, will plead guilty for his role in the attempted insurrection, according to online court documents.

Scott Fairlamb, of Stockholm in Hardyston Township, Sussex County, will enter a guilty plea in federal court Friday, becoming the first person from New Jersey to admit their part in the violent attack at the Capitol. His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment, though he told the Huffington Post that Fairlamb was set to plead guilty to to one count of obstruction and one count of assault.

Fairlamb had been indicted on 12 charges earlier this year, including assaulting a federal officer, entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds with a deadly weapon, and acts of physical violence on the Capitol grounds, among other charges.

“He wishes to assume responsibility for the things that he did,” Harley Breite, Fairlamb’s attorney, told the Huffington Post. “He wants to make amends for them and move on with his life.”

1. Better be some prison time for this seditionist!! Damn well better.

[Chainfire]

3. These people aren't like you and I

Where we would be horrifyingly humiliated to have to spend a single day in jail, for these folks, many of whom would not be jail virgins, to serve a few months will only solidify their revolutionary credentials and raise their status in their criminal organizations. The courts have to send a message that the terrorist's behavior will not be tolerated.

11. Sheesh. You're right. I need a drink.

[Probatim]

9. 2x-3x the prison time a minority would receive for "resisting arrest" would be appropriate.

I don't have any hopes that he'll see any significant time.

10. I'm hoping for 5 years.

who knows.

2. At this point it

wouldn't surprise me if he gets sentenced to foot massages and cookies.

Hope I'm wrong.

[Vinca]

4. This deserves prison time.

[HAB911]

5. don't trust a thing he pleads to

he only wants another chance to do the same thing. fuck him.

[Rustyeye77]

6. He's got that great QANON BEARD going on.

16. They store food there

for the winter.

7. Has the meaning of "bite the dust" changed recently?

The meaning I've always known is "die": this is the second post I've seen here recently in which the author seems to think it means "face the consequences of his actions" or "do prison time". While I hope he is tried, found guilty, and incarcerated I'm not sure I'd go as for as hoping for his demise.

8. Poetic License.

No trial..he plead guilty.

12. It's Been Used Less Strictly, For Years

I've seen it used as a metaphor for failure, for quite some time.
As in, a team getting eliminated from a tournament "just bit the dust".
Nobody on the team died, the team is not dissolving, but they're done in that tournament.
It was even used in the Scripps Spelling Bee that way.
So, it is used more liberally now.

13. Thank you.... you said it better than me.

[GoodRaisin]

14. Good. He can assume responsibility in prison.

No way this assaulter can be allowed on our streets.

[Rustyeye77]

15. Most of these who plead guilty offer to flip.

Will be interesting to see what he has to offer, if any.

[Brother Mythos]

17. Lock him up.

After a nice, long stay in the Big House, he can move on with his life.

And he will lose his business.

21. Hey, he just "wants to move on with his life".

Unlike those who died.

These negotiated pleas, considering initial charges, are NOT going well.

22. Then don't read this
