According to a report from the Sun-Sentinel, a Polk City, Florida man will be allowed to roam free while awaiting trial for participating in the Jan 6th Capitol riot so he can appear at his wedding despite violating the terms of his release by being in possession of a weapon.

Reporting, "Joshua Doolin, one of five people from Polk County charged in connection with the U.S. Capitol riot, faced the prospect of being jailed less than two weeks before a celebration of his wedding," the Sun-Sentinel added that U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols of the District of Columbia shot down a bid from prosecutors to incarcerate Doolin after FBI agents discovered a rifle in his home.

In the video hearing, Nichols also allowed co-defendant Joseph Hutchinson III to travel with Doolin to Lakeland, Florida for Christmas and then to Doolin’s wedding where he will serve as best man.

I just got to to ask if this judge knows a Capital Police Officer that died one day after the insurrection that will not be at the dining table....

Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick

1. These traitors are being treated with kid gloves,

while black and brown defendants on a daily basis for far simpler crimes receive far harsher penalties.

A black woman in Texas mistakenly voted (once) and was sentenced to 5 years in prison:

After being arrested, Crystal lost her job at Santander, an auto-finance company where she worked in quality assurance. Her son left his first year of college to be closer to home, losing his football scholarship. Her home currently faces foreclosure.

The more time that passes, the less the whole ordeal seems to make sense to Crystal. For one, Crystal did not even vote in the November election; she submitted a provisional ballot that was not counted. Moreover, the state’s claim that Crystal knew she was ineligible to vote was full of holes, resting on extremely speculative evidence. The state’s case rested on the account of two witnesses.

2. And what was wrong with a jailhouse wedding?

Time to make examples of these cretins!
This is why a second insurrection attempt is inevitable!

Backlash should be swift and merciless.

5. No surprise. Judge Carl Nichols is a trump appointee

7. Judge Nichols is a Trump appointee, for what it's worth.

8. Fuck him, fuck his wedding, fuck his dumb ass future wife. n/t

9. Oh, FFS.

They're getting slapped on the wrists and told to go away to jail for a few months. Some of them will learn from the experience and come back with a better, possibly successful insurrection.

Is the guy with the horns still getting his special diet, the poor baby?
