Florida man accused in Capitol riot cites 'psychological burdens' of being in jail



A Florida man accused in taking part in the January 6 Capitol riot asked a judge Monday to reconsider keeping him jailed until trial, due to the “psychological burdens” of being in jail for the first time, according to a news report.

Graydon Young, 54, of Englewood says he was unaware of the “nefarious purpose” of the the Oath Keepers when he joined the organization, Newsweek reported Tuesday.

Prosecutors say Young and nine other members of the group “planned with each other, and with others known and unknown, to forcibly enter the Capitol” in Washington D.C. on that day, which left five dead.

At least 31 Floridians have been charged in connection with the riot. .............(more)

Is it the belief among white conservatives that they'll never be held accountable for their actions?

after they watch Rocky...”snowflake” after they pick a bar fight and get an ass whipping

Bravado when they watch a nascar race...snowflake after they wrap their 4x4 around a tree

It’s a childlike...syndrome?...that manifests in these daydreams and self-delusions around the excitement of being admired and tough and in charge...when the most exercise/training they have had in the last 5 years is mowing the lawn over a full weekend.

Hahahahaa..bitch, I've been aware of their 'nefarious purposes' for ten fucking years lol.

Pretty sure, those 'nefarious purposes' were why you signed up in the first place. Only other explanation is, someone gave you a sword and a couple of missing kids to guard. Fuck off.

There this internet site called the “Google.”

It has a small rectangular box that you type word or phase in. The results are ranked for accuracy and relevance.

He can go fuck off. The ignorance and victimhood of these seditious bastards is unreal.

Umm, have you spoken with any Oath Keepers? Gone on any of their forums? It is pretty apparent that the only Oath they keep is to uphold White Supremacy. If you are down for that, then be a grown up and just admit it.


I wonder if Brown people can try that defense. "Sorry your honor, I didn't know that the Mexican Mafia was a violent prison gang when I joined. I thought it was a social club".
