Capitol rioter asks court to delay jail sentence so he can spend the holidays with family

On Monday, CBS News' Scott MacFarlane, a key journalist covering the Capitol riot cases, reported that one of the convicted rioters is asking the court to push back the start of his jail sentence — in large part because he wants to spend that time celebrating the holidays with his family instead.

The rioter, Anthony Mazzio, is also complaining that the facility where he is scheduled to be incarcerated is too far a drive from his family in Alabama.

"Forrest City, Arkansas is at least 478 miles from Dothan, Alabama, and requires a car ride of seven hours and twenty-five minutes, or a bus ride of sixteen hours and fifteen minutes," wrote his counsel in a statement to the court. "In addition, while all incarceration requires separation from family and poses a hardship, such distant incarceration will require Mr. Mazzio to be separated from his family on both Thanksgiving and Christmas of this year."

"Mr. Mazzio therefore requests the Court to delay his surrender date until after January 1, 2023 and to instruct the Bureau of Prisons to designate a facility close to Dothan, Alabama for his incarceration," the filing added.

Oath Keeper who stormed the Capitol says he thought Jan. 6 was a 'Bastille-type' attack

WASHINGTON — A member of the Oath Keepers convicted in connection with the Jan. 6 riot wanted to be a part of the attack on the Capitol because he thought it was similar to the 1789 storming of the Bastille, he said in courtroom testimony against other members of the far-right group Monday.

“I felt it was like a Bastille-type moment in history," Graydon Young told jurors in the seditious conspiracy trial of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and four other members of the organization. “I thought that I participated in something that was potentially a historically significant event."

Insurgents seized the Bastille, a fortress and political prison that represented royal authority in Paris, on July 14, 1789. July 14, known as Bastille Day, is a national holiday in France.

Young, who pleaded guilty to criminal conspiracy and obstruction of Congress and agreed to cooperate with the government, said during the trial's fifth week of testimony that there was "pandemonium" inside the Capitol when he entered on Jan. 6, 2021. “It was crazy,” he said.

They reason that if those officers didn’t feel she or the mob was a threat there was no reason for Byrd to think they were.

I’m still convinced that if she got through the mob would have gotten through and a lot of people would have been hurt or worse. But I don’t know how to counter what they say about the cops on the mob’s side of the door.

Well, think it through and decide why you believe that. You coming here asking for us to tell you what to say is no different than the Fox junkies just parroting each other. Your only posts are asking us what you should say. And then what? If you're just repeating words from another without having your own logic and opinion to back it up, then how will you support your position if pressed further?

When you can't refute them, insult them. Good grief. Trump level debating.

How can they claim the police officers crammed upon the doors were not feeling threatend by the mob? The point is that Capitol Poilice were unarmed iirc, they never pointed a gun at anyone during the storm into the Capitol. The guy behind the door inside was a trained body guard and did learn to assess dangerous situations and use his firearm.
