Accused U.S. Capitol Rioter Charged With Spraying and Prodding Police, Then Taunting Them About the Second Amendment
Reportedly in the crosshairs of a federal criminal investigation, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) shocked many by tweeting out hours before his party blocked an inquiry into the U.S. Capitol siege: “The Second Amendment is about the ability to maintain, within the citizenry, an armed rebellion against the government if that becomes necessary.”
A just-arrested U.S. Capitol rioter allegedly echoed similar sentiments to the police officers he allegedly assaulted on Jan. 6th.
“There is a second amendment behind us,” 34-year-old Sean Michael McHugh allegedly taunted officers, according to his criminal complaint. “What are you going to do then?”
Arrested on Friday, McHugh faces eight charges, including assaulting law enforcement with a deadly weapon.
I'll go further than "irresponsible." I will go to my grave believing that the coroner's determination was fixed in advance to get the prosecutors off the hook from having to charge anyone with murder of a federal law enforcement officer, which is a death penalty offense. I am thoroughly convinced that the DOJ during the transition did not want this already highly-political case to become even more so by having to sort through everything and attempt to prosecute and convict a capitol murder charge.DrIrvingFinegarten wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 12:23 am
I would say so. I also don't understand how the coroner could reach the conclusion that it was natural causes.
How could it be possible that he could be attacked like he was and die of something unrelated a day later? That makes no sense.
Know that the natural causes determination would be used to whitewash the insurrection, it was extremely irresponsible of the coroner to reach that conclusion.
Glenn Greenwald was at a time a good journalist. Then he fell off the rails. Senility?DrIrvingFinegarten wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 11:31 pm Why does Glenn Greenwald lie about Brian Sicknick's death and think his mother is fair game for this kind of smear?
'Course, Fogbow has been around almost 15 years. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
Suranis, I know you and I don't always see eye to eye, and that sometimes I'm a bit harsh to you. For that, I apologize. However, on this subject, you and I are in complete agreement. I don't think I will ever get over the shame of once thinking of Greenwald as a serious journalist. "Titanic knob" is exactly the right phrase for him.Suranis wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 3:04 am I pulled a search for Herr Greenwald on the Little Green footballs site, which should give you plenty of evidence that the guy has been a Titanic knob for the past 15 years.

If someone gets hit on the head, then throws a clot the next day and dies of a stroke, that's not "natural causes." That's homicide. Plenty of convictions have been secured upon less.
Our state allows a coroner's determination to be challenged in court. I'll bet DC has a similar law.DrIrvingFinegarten wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 12:23 am

Those hair washing basins at salons have been known to cause injury, especially to older women...but the back of the neck is especially vulnerable.
Wouldn't this be under federal law? I assume he was being charged in federal court, not DC Superior Court.SuzieC wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 10:34 amOur state allows a coroner's determination to be challenged in court. I'll bet DC has a similar law.DrIrvingFinegarten wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 12:23 am

Regardless of where tried, the coroner's determination is (to paraphrase the Dude) "like your opinion man." In any court case in which there's a dispute surrounding the cause of death, the opposing party may (and usually does) present a competing expert with a different opinion. In other words, the coroner's determination may carry a presumption, but it isn't preclusive.SuzieC wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 10:34 amWouldn't this be under federal law?

CNN)The Justice Department has added four new defendants to the federal criminal conspiracy case against Oath Keepers who allegedly prepared for and took part in the US Capitol riot, according to a new indictment made public in DC District Court on Sunday.
The newly named Oath Keeper defendants are Joseph Hackett, who went by "Ahab," Jason Dolan, who went by "Turmoil," and William Isaacs, all from Florida. A fourth new defendant's name and alleged actions are still redacted.
The Oath Keeper defendants are all accused of taking part in the conspiracy as well as entering the restricted grounds of the Capitol.
The case is the largest against any of the far-right extremist groups that participated in the pro-Trump siege on January 6. Prosecutors have gradually built out the case almost weekly, dropping additional details of how the group allegedly brought guns to a hotel in Virginia to back them up on January 6, and communicated during the insurrection.
Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes continues to be called "Person One" in the court records, indicating he has not been charged, and a few other unindicted co-conspirators also still exist in the case.
NEW: US Justice Dept has notified attorneys for Jan 6 defendant Michael Lopatic of Pennsylvania that it has compiled 19 pages of medical records of an injured DC police officer
Lopatic is accused of "pummeling" officer, throwing uppercut punches, assaulting officer in the head
