These "airhead" MAGAts (are there any that aren't?) got off lightly, stupidity being the last refuge of insurrectionists:
The mother and son duo who helped a Jan. 6 rioter steal former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s laptop was sentenced on Wednesday to 12 months and 18 months of home incarceration, respectively, according to WUSA9.
Maryann Mooney-Rondon and her 25-year-old son, Rafael Rondon,
were taken into custody in Oct. 2021 after they were identified by
Sedition Hunters, the online community that looks into Jan. 6 rioters
using publicly available footage and videos posted on social media
websites. These internet investigators referred to the pair as
“AirheadLady” and “AirheadBoy” after they were recorded leaving the
Capitol with stolen escape hoods meant for members of Congress and their
staff.
NBC News reported that the pair were pinpointed by a Sedition Hunter comparing facial recognition to Facebook photos after the FBI
incorrectly raided the residence of Marilyn Hueper in Alaska. Agents
mistook Hueper, who was on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6 but did not
break into the building, for Mooney-Rondon.
On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb said she was giving the
pair a “significant break” and explained, “I just think that they were
acting very stupidly.”
Rafael
Rondon confessed to the FBI in August that he helped an unidentified
man disconnect cables out of Pelosi’s laptop. Ahead of his sentencing,
he said, “I made a stupid mistake. I realize that.”
WUSA9 stated
Rafael was handed a 14-month prison sentence in July after pleading
guilty to possession of an unregistered firearm.
Meanwhile,
Mooney-Rondon admitted that she gave the thief gloves so that he
wouldn’t leave any fingerprints. Prior to the ruling, she apologized to
the court and said, “I was the adult in the room and I failed. I have
brought embarrassment to my family.”
But when asked about why she
committed the act, the mother claimed that the man who stole Pelosi’s
laptop was working in an organized group and she only participated
because it was the “easiest thing to do.”
The man in question has not yet been arrested.
Maybe it was this pinhead --
This violent MAGAt Proud Boy is going back into the slammer:
A Texas man who shot toward sheriff’s deputies who were making a welfare call to his house on the day he had agreed to surrender on charges for taking part in the in the U.S. Capitol riot was sentenced to two years in prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to illegally possessing a firearm.
Nathan
Donald Pelham, who was charged with being a felon in possession of a
firearm, entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Dallas. Pelham was
accused of firing the shots from his rural home on April 12, the day he
was told he was charged with four misdemeanors for allegedly
participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack.
Prosecutors say Pelham
had agreed to surrender on the Capitol riot charges when he was
contacted by an FBI agent. Later that day, though, a deputy from the
Hunt County Sheriff’s Office was sent to the house about 50 miles (81
kilometers) northeast of Dallas in response to a welfare call made by a
relative. A child was sent out of the house and deputies began to hear
gunshots, according to court records. The Justice Department said no law
enforcement officers were injured.
Investigators say Pelham
entered the Capitol wearing goggles and a hat with the Proud Boys’ logo,
but later denied affiliation with the extremist group. He allegedly
stayed inside the Capitol for about seven minutes. About two months
later, Pelham was stopped while attempting to enter Canada and told
Border Patrol agents that he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6, court records
show.
He was sentenced to time served in the Capitol riot case in September.
Turns out time served wasn't enough to clear his empty head.
