WASHINGTON — A member of the pro-Donald Trump online forum "The Donald," who espoused violent rhetoric and advocated for overthrowing the government, was convicted on 10 counts Wednesday for repeatedly assaulting law enforcement officers at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Jose Padilla, who was arrested in Georgia in February 2021, was convicted after a bench trial before U.S. District Judge John Bates. Video shows Padilla repeatedly attacking officers on Jan. 6, 2021, including by pushing up against officers and hitting an officer with a flagpole. He has been held in custody since his arrest.

I don't support anything this person did, but I also dont support making anyone sit in jail for three years+ waiting for trial.
That doesn't reflect well on anyone. Was it a case backlog due to Covid?

"We would have been in the Seat of Power. All we would need to do is declare our grievances with the government and dissolve the legislature, and replace it with Patriots who were there. Then simply re-adopt the Constitution with amendments added to secure future Federal elections," Padilla wrote.
I am confused how this would work. Weren't all those people there ANTIFA pretending to be Trump supporters? Or were they FBI agents luring them in?
Note: This comment is satire, pointing out how those in support of the events on January 6th constantly change the narrative to make it appear MAGA-heads are reasonable people.

Apparently little known fact to all the "Patriots": the Declaration of Independence does not, and has never had, the force of law.
It's a nicely written bit of polemic, but that's it.

Hilarious...the party of "law and order" or was it "family values", or the "military"...I hope all these assholes lose whatever job they hold, go broke and end up homeless. I have zero sympathy for these assholes.

These people are mad. Holy shit. There are no rights given to us in the Declaration of Independence. It is a political statement, not a legal document.

Companies like Reddit and Facebook should held liable for refusing to curb extremism on their platforms.

Zuckerberg gets rich off of chaos that he helps create. Then he builds a bunker to protect himself. May it never be used by him.

I wrote a short story about the final hours of Zuck's life when the society he enriched himself by dividing finally crumbles around him. He retreats to his billionaire bunker and prepares to huddle down until things either stabilize or he dies of old age among his lush gardens and endless forms of on-site entertainment.
First thing his considerable staff of cooks and cleaners, carpenters and plumbers do is boot him outside the walls. It's a short story because after that, he doesn't last long.

He does have MMA training. Perhaps he'll fight for his food in the future.

Can you imagine how many people would line up to be the dude who beat Zuck to death with their bare hands?

Jose Padilla? I had to Google to make sure this wasn't the same Jose Padilla who wanted to set off a radiological dirty bomb) during the W administration. Now serving time at Florence SuperMax in CO.
(It's not the same guy.)

This is even funnier than a lake full of trump dipshits funneling themselves and their pinhead buddies to the muddy depths.

I’m not surprised he doesn’t know how constitutional amendments work.

"He insisted that the violent rhetoric he posted online about the Capitol attack wasn’t reality-based but was for “internet cool points.” He said that exaggeration was part of "gaming subculture" and that he engaged in "heated political rhetoric" because he liked to "shock people." He said he was trying to fit in with the community of Trump supporters."
So, what they say in that forum isn't truth.

There's another Jose Padilla who is also a horrible person, a murderer. I just found articles about him when I looked for more pics of this AH.

"I would liked to have gone up to the Capitol, yeah, and protested where we eventually were," he testified, referring to the scaffolding that had been set up for Joe Biden's presidential inauguration. He testified that when he called officers at the Capitol oath breakers, he meant that he thought they were breaking their oath by not allowing rioters to go inside the building."
So you were confused they were doing their job? Fuck off.
