Sentencing The Insurrectionists -- Mr. Incognito

 

Another MAGAt insurrectionist gets his comeuppance:

A Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol rioter who smoked marijuana in a senator’s office was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison on Thursday. 

New York state native Brandon Fellows, 29, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden to 37 months in prison, plus five months for a contempt of court charge. 

He was convicted by a jury last August for a felony misdemeanor offense of entering and remaining in a “restricted building,” disorderly and disruptive conduct on restricted grounds, and disorderly conduct in the Capitol building, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). 

Fellows, a chimney repairman, entered the Capitol building during the Jan. 6 riot through a broken window. After briefly entering a congressional conference room, he got to Sen. Jeff Merkley’s (D-Ore.) office where he smoked marijuana. He then joined other rioters walking through the Capitol Crypt before later leaving the “same way he came.”

“There’s just a whole bunch of people lighting up in some Oregon room,” Fellows reportedly said at the time, according to DOJ. 

Fellows called Judge McFadden a “modern-day Nazi.” 

“In all my years as a judge, and before that as a litigator, I have never seen such contemptuous conduct,” McFadden said during Thursday’s sentencing, referring to many times he interrupted and insulted the judge, according to the Washington Post

“There is no grand conspiracy here against you,” McFadden said. “It’s time for you to grow up.”...

That would be good advice for anyone capable of comprehending that they're living in a MAGAt sucker bubble.  By the way, nifty disguise that didn't accomplish anything except confirm what a dumbass you are.  

We've followed this Fellows fellow from his arraignment in September 2021 (!).  He's a hardcore MAGAt who'll spend his time in prison blaming others for his bad, moronic decisions.  But, better there than walking the streets.

Let's bring more of these treasonous insurrectionists to justice. The FBI is still looking for January 6 insurrectionists, and they continue to be arrested, prosecuted, and jailed.  If you recognize anyone not yet apprehended, do your country a favor and pick up the phone.
