On Tuesday, WUSA9 reported that Robert Palmer, a man from Tampa, Florida who pleaded guilty to attacking Capitol Police with a fire extinguisher at the January 6 Capitol riot while dressed in a red, white, and blue Trump jacket, was in tears at his sentencing hearing, while his defense attorney expressed his client's regret for participating in the attack.

Cry me a river, Bobby.

[marble falls]

1. One river is easy. I want three. his lawyer got it right, his client regrets his actions, and ...

... he is fearful of what may happen to him in prison.

A little late for regrets, at any rate.

[Champp]

54. Free Clue for Republican traitors: Prison not as cozy as mom's basement

[marble falls]

56. No pizza pockets in the joint.

[Hekate]

68. I think he'll find quite a few white power thugs in prison. They can tell him they're innocent...

…of the charges of selling stolen goods and he can tell them he’s innocent of trying to overthrow the US government.

Kumbayah, guys.

[marble falls]

69. And then they'll be charging him for protection. I hope he brings cigarrettes, because they ...

... aren't prison currency anymore. I understand it's postage stamps these days.

[JohnSJ]

2. I have no sympathy for this jackass

[NurseJackie]

18. Here's a link to the ORIGINAL WUSA-9 video (without giving Rawstory any undeserved clicks)

[JohnSJ]

24. Thanks. Yes, there needs to be consequences

[jmowreader]

51. That judge looks like she never had any fucks to give

I do quibble with her first sentence though…the maximum jail time you can get for a misdemeanor is six months, and he should have received all of it.

[reACTIONary]

81. Thanks - I avoid raw story as much as possible. nt

[multigraincracker]

3. F**K his feelings.

Snowflake.

[OldBaldy1701E]

80. Yes

And, at the risk of sounding like an evil scientist... BWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[AllaN01Bear]

87. love your screen nick

muwhahehahahahaha.

[OldBaldy1701E]

90. Thank you.

[Midnight Writer]

4. He thought he would be a hero. He thought Trump would back him up.

Chump.

[empedocles]

5. .

[lagomorph777]

6. I'll bet he gets a week of probation...

...but suspended until after his Cancun vacay.

[secondwind]

13. The sentencing Judge is not a pushover....

I think he faces serious time.... hope I am right..

[lagomorph777]

19. God I hope you're right.

[onenote]

39. I'll take that bet.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

58. The very same judge highly unlikely to give lighter sentence to greater crime versus the youthful

offender whom she gave 45 days imprisonment for federal trespass, jumping he prosecutors strangely lenient recommendation, but the judge had full facts and full legal argument and some years of experience, and law school to boot. I would not quibble.

6 months to 1 year for the mature, should have known much better perhaps, and only so because did not directly injure a federal officer.

The fascist master minds in the militias, now that is talking serious time measured in years.

[lagomorph777]

59. Master mind time should be decades.

And for Trump, centuries.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

60. Yes

[Hortensis]

83. Recommended sentence 46-57 months in prison, in custody of U.S. Marshalls

until sentencing.

[lagomorph777]

84. Very promising.

I hope it sticks.

[Hortensis]

85. Yes, especially since this judge insisted on jail time

instead of the time in his recliner that had been recommended for that other insurrectionist. This one actually physically attacked the police multiple times.

[Johnny2X2X]

7. He's a traitor to his country

He tried to kill a police officer during an insurrection, this man deserves life in prison.

[Botany]

8. The man needs real prison time.

[Justice matters.]

21. What a bunch of stupid fascist thugs there!

What did they think would happen if they failed at their part of their orange terrorist's seditious plot (which happened)??

[RussBLib]

25. What did they think would happen.....?

That's a good question. It's hard for me, gratefully, to put myself in their shoes. But I suppose they thought that Pence could refuse to accept electors from enough states to allow Trump to amass more electors than Biden. And then what?

Whatever the fuck they thought would happen, it was not thought through very well. I question how well they can even "think". They all just became Trump's Chumps.

[calimary]

41. The operative word here is "think."

These jerks didn’t lead with the head on their shoulders.

[PatrickforB]

89. LOL, what is that old Foreigner song? 'My mind is wasted, but my body's in the lead!'

That is the Trumpists, the Qs, the antivaxxers and all the rest of the losers.

[jaxexpat]

52. You would suspect you were in his shoes because it has no laces.

No laces, no belt, nothing but freedumb in jail.

There are, across the universe, many black holes, representing the whole political and light spectra, gravitating in total shock, unable to acknowledge that, in disobedience to physical laws, those MAGAt's concentrated before the capitol on 1/6/2021 were, cumulatively, denser than they, cumulatively. But it happened. Despite the best intentions of untold and underpaid American public school teacher's efforts to elucidate reality upon their charges there still was enough spare, swinishly arrogant and slothfully incurious ignorance left to create a disruption in the gravitational forces of the universe. A disruption of the natural order caused by this mass of "bozo" particles not only rare but, in fact, the first known and confirmed material singularity to maintain a cumulative total IQ of an incalculable negative value ever to occur in, at least, the last 14 billion years. The whole of universal history.

In fact, 99.7% of all scientists qualified to speak to this phenomenon agree, "it's pretty weird".

[Lonestarblue]

53. Those who thought about it at all probably thought Trump would immediately pardon them.

Remember when Trump told Border Patrol to break the law if they needed to and he would give them a pardon? The problem is that the insurrectionists failed in their mission of preventing the certification of the vote. Trump doesn’t reward failure, thus no pardon. Plus, he is reported as saying that they all looked low class, another mark against them.

[Ilsa]

9. this judge is making him do time!

None of that house-arrest-watching-Netflix bs!

[Thomas Hurt]

10. Deluded himself into thinking he was a hero, instead of a gullible chump who got used.

[MissMillie]

11. I would hope that part of his sentence...

...is to apologize to the Capitol Police officers he attacked.


(Probably too much to ask for a judge to order that, but if he's so regretful that he cries in court, he should be able to look the officers in the face and apologize.)

[Wingus Dingus]

12. Multiple assaults on police officers. Wonder what the sentence was?

Should be pretty lengthy. What a sniveling piece of shit.

[secondwind]

14. He was taken away....... sentencing is in December....

Faces serious charges.

[BeyondGeography]

15. We need more Judge Chutkans

He’s going to jail for many months. If she handed down 45 days of prison time to someone who simply entered the building (DOJ recommended three months of home confinement), Palmer hasn’t shed his last tear.

[Skittles]

66. agreed

"there has to be consequences"

SHE GETS IT.

[NurseJackie]

16. I like it when they cry.

[lagomorph777]

20. I know, it's so satisfying.

[calimary]

42. I do, too.

And I will NOT provide comfort. Or sympathy.

You do the crime? You do the time.

[Salviati]

17. He's gonna have to face it...

... he's addicted to hate

[senseandsensibility]

28. I see what you did there.

[Harker]

43. Ooh. Nice touch! n/t

[Scrivener7]

22. He better get a real sentence.

[Bristlecone]

23. Where is my Treasonous Loser Tears coffee cup?

[FakeNoose]

26. Hey Robert Palmer

Chump lost and you're an asshole. Now you're a convict to boot!

[Swede]

29. He's got a bad case of loving Trump.

nt

[Harker]

45. Can't come up with a third one. Well done! n/t

[left-of-center2012]

30. News video

[ZonkerHarris]

31. Today he cries for himself, like I cried for America on January 6

[bucolic_frolic]

32. Waitng for some of these sentences to match local or state level jurisdictions

I don't think there would be much sympathy or leniency in most cities and towns for similar actions.

[Traildogbob]

33. Allow him to wear his jacket

In prison. Not a lot of minorities in prison are trump fans. But the WHTIES will have his back. But POC far outnumber the white boys. He may get a cheap Trump tat as a tramp stamp.

[llmart]

34. It's been said before, many times on DU...

these guys who like to put out an image of manly men who are brave and tough turn out to be sniveling cowards when they are caught and have to pay the piper.

Hope he never lives down the reputation amongst his cohorts of being a crybaby.

[Tomconroy]

35. These are the cases that will get several years in prison.

Taken into custody after entering his plea. That's what usually happens in federal court when you plead to a felony.

[Escurumbele]

36. Macho, macho man...not so macho anymore.

I keep saying it, republicans worst character flaw is they have no concept of consequences, they don't think ahead about what their stupidity can cause to them and other people.

They are like those horses who were blinders, they can't look to the sides, they can only look in front of them, then they ask "why is this happening to me?, a real patriot..."

[barbtries]

37. crying for his own ass,

that's it. you can't force a sociopath to give a shit about others.

[LuckyCharms]

38. I completely understand. I cry too.

But you can go fuck yourself with a rusty meat hook, Mr. Palmer.

[3catwoman3]

40. Boo-fucking-hoo.

I hope the judge dishes it out with a big spoon.

46. Robert Palmer? Really?

"Might as well face it, you're going to prison"

47. Right Wing police slogans:::::: Empty slogans

----------------------------------
A slogan that Trump's terrorists/tourists believe in:::

'Kill him with his own gun'

[LymphocyteLover]

48. he can cry all the way to jail... fuck him

[RVN VET71]

49. As if a Gestapo POS got stopped by cops at a failed Krystalnacht.

No socially excusable cause for what he did. Fascists love to be tge perps of violence when their leader sits on the throne. But this swine discovered that his Feurher really didn’t care about his Storm Troopers. Thug’s life is about to be over and done. Thug’s going to be surveilled until he dies — which may not be too far in the future.

[lindysalsagal]

50. just like the anti-vaxxers suddenly unable to breathe....

you exercised a little too much freedumb, and now you pay.

[Demobrat]

55. Cry some more please.

The libruls are not done laughing at you.

[Paladin]

57. I rejoice in his tears. I hope they never stop. (nt)

[Vinca]

61. But on the plus side, he'll always have the shaman to lean on in the big house.

[colsohlibgal]

62. Cry Me A River Loser

There can be a huge price for being that gullible and dumb.

[Maru Kitteh]

63. Aaahhhhh . . . setting sail on the sweet sea of MAGA TEARS . . .

It's a beautiful day.

[NBachers]

64. But he'll always have the MAGAT Woodstock . . .

[IcyPeas]

67. I'm so glad there are all these videos. they never thought there would be consequences.

[Hassler]

70. Enjoy the baloney sandwiches, snowflake.

[mnmoderatedem]

71. a moment of solace...

[Permanut]

72. Okay, so it's obvious he's real sorry..

so the judge should make him pay for the fire extinguisher, promise not to do it again, and send him home with a stern lecture.

[joetheman]

74. These traitors are really wimps without their guns and torches. nt

[joetheman]

73. I wish he could be sent to Rikers. nt

[Blue Owl]

75. He'll be sharing a cell with his girlfriend, Rosie Palmer

[GoodRaisin]

76. Stupid is a risky proposition.

For him, prison. If this judge gave the other moron got 45 days in jail for a misdemeanor, this one is toast.

[Tactical Peek]

77. "Leave poor Robert alone!"

[live love laugh]

78. Cry MORE you simp. nt

[twodogsbarking]

79. I miss the other Robert Palmer

He was simply irresistible.

[Scalded Nun]

82. Not one of these treasonous assholes are sorry for what they did

They are only sorry that they got caught and that there are negative consequences.

Should there be another 1/6 type of insurrection I fully expect to see most of these traitors back on the front lines, especially the ones receiving the wrist-slap.

[Dukkha]

86. He regrets getting caught. nothing more.

Fuck that crisis actor time to man up and take your sentencing.

[orleans]

88. "womp womp" nt
