Any pretrial detainee or prisoner with a gluten intolerance should be appropriately fed, but it’s remarkable to see how willing far-right politicians have been to associate themselves with Capitol rioters caught on camera viciously assaulting cops on Jan. 6.
Chief Judge Beryl Howell on the “overwhelming" evidence: "photos and videos show defendant enthusiastically participating in the riot, physically assaulting at least ten different police officers, including with his fists, a stolen riot shield, and the dangerous MK-9 OC spray."
"The nature and circumstances of the offense heavily weigh in favor of detention. Defendant is charged with three felonies and faces up to 20 years imprisonment…” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Chris Quaglin, on video, to police officers on Jan. 6: “You don’t want this fight. You do not want this fucking fight. You are on the wrong fucking side. You’re going to bring a fucking pistol, I’m going to bring a fucking cannon.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
“If I’m wrong, so be it, bro. I don’t care. I don’t give a shit about being wrong.” — Chris Quaglin’s attorney huffpost.com/entry/tucker-c….
A thought experiment: Imagine the coverage from some media outlets if a Democratic member of Congress used their platform to demand a gluten-free diet for a criminal defendant caught on video repeatedly assaulting cops during a riot in the summer of 2020.
Should mention that back in June, the circuit panel of Henderson (Bush 1), Wilkins (Obama), and Rao (Trump) upheld Quaglin’s pretrial detention: “he discharged MK-9 OC spray at police officers, including directly into the unprotected face of one officer.” cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/judgm…
