J6 rioter, pardoned by His Orangeness, arrested again for home burglary

[thewayne]

My heart is always lighter and my smile brighter when something like this happens.

Pardoned by El Presidente four months ago, he was arrested after being confronted by the home owner while breaking into someone's house. He fled, but was caught by police a short distance away, and is now being held pending charges, bail hearing, court appearances, all that good stuff.

He was one of the most violent J6 rioters and had an extensive criminal record prior to that event, including "...past arrests for residential burglary, grand larceny, assault, disorderly conduct, and vandalism". He was sentenced to eight years prison to be followed by 36 months supervised release. He was convicted of eight felonies and three misdemeanors.

Nobody was hurt, right?

As far as I can tell, he scarpered as soon as he was confronted and there were no injuries.

My response to this is basically Claude Rains in Casablanca: I am shocked! Shocked!

"Your winnings, sir."  A classic line and always great for a chuckle.  Oh, it spurs a great trivia question!  What movie features both a Renault and a Ferrari?  And you just named a line from it.  Have fun springing that on some friends!

It's not surprising to find out that some people who were willing to engage in an armed insurrection and riot against the government might turn out to be a person who would engage in other criminal activities if given the chance to do so.

No doubt.
