Another idiot Trump supporter.....lock his ass up and throw away the key!
MAGA rioter 'weeps' in court as defense lawyer says he was a 'victim' of Trump's lies: report

On Tuesday, WHAM reported that a New York man "wept" at his detention hearing for his alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot.

"Cody Mattice sat quietly weeping in court Tuesday, his head down, resting on the table in front of him, only lifting it to whisper to his attorney," said the report. "The 28-year-old is accused of taking part in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Prosecutor Brett Harvey said he has enough evidence to put him away for at least 20 years.
Mattice was arrested in Hilton, New York last week, with the help of internet sleuths who knew him as "Cody from Rochester." He allegedly helped break down barriers at the Capitol and pepper-sprayed Capitol Police officers to allow others to break through the line.

At the center of the case are text messages that Mattice and fellow rioters sent to each other in which they confessed to committing multiple crimes during the January 6th riots.

One text message from Mattice boasted that "we took the capital, bro ... I yanked the gates from the cops. I also maced a cop." Another text from Mattice justified his participation in the riots by saying that "Trump told us to because of the fraud."

Mattice's defense attorney, Wendy Abdallah, cited that last text message to argue that her client and his allies "are victims of our president - our former president."
Mattice's hearing comes as many other rioters, like just-sentenced Indiana hairdresser Dona Bissey, have begged for leniency. According to NBC4 Washington reporter Scott MacFarlane, however, there are signs that judges plan to throw the book at many remaining defendants even if they cooperate.

I really hate this defense because it makes the criminals look like they couldn't help but get caught up in it when every single one of them made the active choice to go to DC and do this shit.

I think they all thought the coup would succeed or Trump would pardon them.

Victims my ass, they are domestic terrorists who voted for Trump... and too stupid to know right from wrong! He knew what he was doing he had it on his face book account. Trump loves these morons who will do anything for him.

This board has many Trumpys who are completely conned and believe everything he says, even though he has lied thousands of times. They actually think a maybe billionaire cares about them. That Is not how it works. His tax cut was 85 percent for the wealthy. Trump exacerbated the wealth gap. Yet rights cannot see it. They have voted against their own interests for decades.

It seems like these MAGA fat asses did not actually believe the government was illegitimate or the republic was in grave danger; they were just whiny babies having a temper tantrum at losing an election.

Alexei Navalvy, who actually genuinely believes a criminal government is illegitimately clinging to power, stood in front of a Putin court and dared them to throw him in prison.
