An accused January 6 rioter who is on house arrest asked a judge to let him use websites and social media to find a job and look for a date.
Thomas Sibick of Buffalo, New York was charged with assaulting a police officer and robbery, among other charges in connection to the January 6 insurrection. A judge previously released him from jail to await his trial in home confinement with his parents, specifying that he cannot use social media.
On Christmas, Sibick's attorney filed a motion asking the judge to let him use some websites to search for a job and try to "interact with members of the opposite gender for the purpose of establishing a friendship," according to court documents reviewed by Insider.
Sibick is accused of stealing the badge of DC police officer Michael Fanone, who was knocked unconscious and suffered a heart attack during the riot. He has since issued statements saying he regrets the insurrection, for which he claimed former President Donald "Trump is ultimately responsible."

These people are not in contact with reality.
That, and our educational system has failed us.
I expect much worse now that MAGATs are infiltrating school boards.
As a boomer, I am grateful I missed this.

Nope. None. He's just so trustworthy.
Like any insurrectionists.

The judge should rule no; if only to protect members of the opposite gender.
