Seattle man has been charged with assaulting a federal police officer during the siege of the U.S. Capitol.

Mark J. Leffingwell, 51, of Seattle, was also charged Thursday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia with entering a restricted building and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

... "Leffingwell was released on his personal recognizance to a third-party custodian -- his wife."

No mention of bail or bond or anything in the article. Undoubtedly just swept up in the moment, a moment of White passion (sarc)

These fuckers are going to get off with a slap on the wrist.

Yup. I've been watching this for nearly 2 months in Minnesota regarding bars/restaurants that refused to stay closed in violation of Governor Walz (D)'s order closing all bars & restaurants for indoor dining. A lot of court injunctions and even some fines, but no enforcement at all, so they just stay open. I'm been following three of these bars/restaurants Facebook pages on a daily basis, and it appears nobody has even asked for payment of the fines.

Meanwhile Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) pathetically pleadingly wrote the Ramsey County District Court about the inadequacy of a $250/day fine, given that she (Havens Garden, Lynd, MN) has raised like $80,000 at the time via crowdsourcing, and that more action needs to be taken. That was like at least 2 weeks ago, and I see no signs that anything has been happening. But I see endless media articles making it sound like they are really suffering serious consequences.
