I know its superficial but Vitali Gossjankowski doesn't exactly sound like the White American name you'd expect from one of these "patriots"

He looks like one of those alt-right incel people. I don't think he's realized it yet, but his privilege card just got revoked. Also, let's see:

Sent harassing and threatening messages to a DC Police detective assigned to the FBI task force that worked on Gossjankowski's case, including antisemitic, homophobic and racist epithets and suggested the officer should be violently sexually assaulted

Instagram posts referring to FBI agents and law enforcement in antisemitic and homophobic terms and called them "animalistic subhumans." The posts also contained the names, email addresses and phone numbers of prosecutors, law enforcement and even court staff involved in the case. At least one post urged Gossjankowski's followers to "inundate" Valentini's inbox with messages.

Defense lawyers argued that the defendant was just venting ....

He looks like Tucker Carlson in that pic.

Maga is not the old right wing nut job. It's a whole new breed.

Frankly, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

[-] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

I think it doesn't because most recognize they'll likely get more time added onto their sentences.

They're completely remorseful and teary-eyed in court until they get out then they're the same old maga-morons

It happens once a week in criminal court. Not necessarily to this extent. Every day there is a moment where the marshals and cops all lean in toward the defendant because it feels like it's about to jump off. Marshals seem to be out recovering from bite wounds more than any other profession I'm aware of.

Watch him get a slap in the wrist despite this

[-] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

For trying to topple our democracy I think they're all getting a slap on the wrist.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think that's the point. Gotta send the message that it's a low-risk activity, or you won't get more.
