Assault on the Capitol (DC)

‘QAnon Shaman,’ horned and face-painted ‘very image’ of Jan. 6 riot, released from federal prison to halfway house

The right-wing bubble is crediting Carlson for this, but:

“Mr. Chansley’s projected release date from custody is May 25, 2023, via First Step Act release,” [a BOP spox] also said, referring to the Trump-era criminal justice reform legislation. Under the law, certain offenders have the opportunity to earn a potential early release for not only good behavior but for participating in classes and programs that prepare them for post-prison life.

So Chansely is out of prison (but still in BOP custody) due to ... bipartisan prison reform.

NEW: Former Boston police officer Joseph R. Fisher has been arrested and charged with assaulting a USCP officer on Jan. 6.

Don't confuse him with former Pennsylvania police officer Joseph W. Fischer — also charged w/ assaulting police on Jan. 6.

Can Chansley mess up and end up back in custody? He's itching to mess up.

“After serving eleven months in solitary prior to his sentence being imposed, and only 16 months of his sentence thereafter, it is appropriate this gentle and intelligent young man be permitted to move forward with the next stage of what undoubtedly will be a law abiding and enriching life,” attorney Albert Watkins said in a statement.

This "gentle" man used to stand in parking lots yelling at and trying to intimidate people.

This "intelligent" man has shown no signs of intelligence.

"Enriching" life? He's been a wannabe actor for years with few if any takers.

I didn't know 35 is "young." It's not old but it's not what I would call young. He's not young but he is immature, which is pathetic at 35.

I have words for his attorney but I won't use them.

It is a matter of perspective. In the greying of America where the kids of Thirthsomething boomers are now, thirtysomething, and the cast is, uh, older.. we find 35 to be lower than the US median age (38.10ish).

Remember Jonathan Taylor Thomas, MacCauley Caulkin, and Melissa Joan Hart are all in their... wait for it... 40s.

To put it another way, Lindsay Lohan is a year older than Shaman-dude.

What all the well-bred tourists do

[Kendra]

Feds have arrested David Elizalde in another of the newest wave of Jan 6 cases. Per charging documents, Elizalde was stationed at USS Harry Truman on Jan 5, 2021 when he departed for DC-area

Naval Criminal Investigative Service was part of the investigation, per court filings

Reminds me of the old joke.....

What DO you say to the potential Academy Awards nominee ....... " Could I have fries with that?"

[Kendra]

Jan 6 defendant Richard Bigo Barnett's motion to extend a sentencing deadline...... is *denied* by Judge Christopher Cooper

[Kendra]

Feds to seek 88-months prison in Jan 6 case of Josiah Kenyon, 35, of Nevada.... arguing "Kenyon used a table leg with a protruding nail to strike an officer in the leg & then to strike a 2nd officer on the head such that Kenyon’s weapon became lodged in the officer’s face shield"

[bill_g]

Table legs with embedded nails are all the rage with tourists these days.

Just catching up on this thread…

I read in a Military Times article that Elizalde is an E-6 with 5 Navy Good Conduct Medals. The Navy awards those every three years, so he has at least 15 years in, but probably not 20.

My prediction - (if it hasn’t already) the Navy will take the path of least resistance and boot him with a General Discharge. If they do that, he’s not entitled to a Board, and he’s not retirement eligible. I hope it was worth it.

On the other hand, he’s an Aviation Structural Mechanic. The Navy spent a lot of money training this guy, and he could probably get a job with Boeing or some other airplane manufacturer, even with these misdemeanor convictions on his record.

So he’ll probably land on his feet no matter what happens.

Amateurs!

The real Dark Age professionals used this

[Kendra]

Initial appearance at 1pm in Capitol riot case of Thomas Casselman of South Carolina. Feds allege he googled "statute of limitations for assault on a federal officer" after Jan 6

And they allege he deleted social media & cut his hair to avoid identification (they include photos)

The ones in the gift shop are junk though, you have to bring your own to really experience it.

I dunno. I'm pretty sure than aviation A&P jobs usually require a security clearance if you have anything to do with military aircraft or if your work involves being on a flight line at an airport. Even if they have some work at say, Boeing, that would let him not do work that requires it, why take the one applicant out of 5 for the job that won't be able to get a clearance?

[Kendra]

At sentencing scheduled for tomorrow, prosecutors recommend 71 months prison for Jan 6 defendant Shane Woods

In sentencing memo, feds allege Woods sent message forecasting Jan 6 would be "biblical".. and telling friend "I know DC is gun free. I'm bringing blade"

That's where I started at in the business.....

Manufacturing [Production as we call it in the biz] is feast or famine...a lot of layoff and rehire cycles....

Airlines aren't going to take him without an A&P certificate, and he'll have to either get around 30 months OJT or go to a 14CFR 147 FAA approved program [my route]...

MROs [Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul facilities my first aviation job] are an option, however they come with low pay, that's the benefit of airlines parking their aircraft there, low labor overhead, as the other costs will still remain the same...

So landing on his feet will be a maybe....

For military aircraft, yes sec clearance, civil, no, flight line jobs just has to pass the necessary background check to qualify for a SIDA badge. However I should note, that as a 15 year sheet metal man doesn't give him enough qualifications need to take the FAA A&P exams...

I wondered if "structural" meant "body shop guy". I'm positive it is more important than the paint and ding guy. Probably more along the lines of inspecting and servicing all the flight surfaces and joints.

You inspect and overhaul the entirety of the aircraft's metal structures, skins, frames, and such...if it's made of metal and on the aircraft, it's your wheelhouse...

I was going to ask about that, because I thought "If I were one of the world's foremost names in military aviation contracts, would I really want to hire this guy?"

But I'm currently on a temporary duty assignment away from London, with only a small laptop, and so I've been mostly skimming TFB on my off-hours. Today being a local holiday, I have more time to get in the weeds.

"For completeness," U.S. v. Fischer:

The question raised in this case is whether individuals who allegedly assaulted law enforcement officers while participating in the Capitol riot can be charged with corruptly obstructing, influencing, or impeding an official proceeding, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2). The district court held that the statute does not apply to assaultive conduct, committed in furtherance of an attempt to stop Congress from performing a constitutionally required duty. We disagree and reverse.

It is a 1 - 1- 1 ruling: Pan (a Biden nominee) writing; Walker (TFG nominee) concurring in part; and Katsas (TFG nominee) dissenting.

It could go en banc, but I assume it'll just go to SCOTUS.

The crux is in the concurring opinion. Walker argues the statue's use of “corruptly” means “an intent to procure an unlawful benefit either for himself or for some other person.” The district court's dismissal at the pleading stage was error, Walker reasons, because the evidence at trial could show the defendants did assault with the intent procure a benefit for someone else, i.e., the 2020 loser.

In his sentencing memo, Patrick MCCAUGHEY (who helped pin
@SemperWry
in a Capitol doorway) reveals that probation has recommended a sentence between 108 and 135 months, a range that puts him in contention for the longest Jan. 6 sentence to date. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap ... .608.0.pdf

But if I'm following this correctly, that Office Hodges who was pinned in the door. Good.

We will see how much time McFadden will give these people. He's a Trump appointed judge who likes to equate protesting against police brutality with the Capitol insurrection and has been quite lenient with sentences. I don't expect this guy to get much, McFadden will opine that he just held the cop down while others beat on him.
