J6 Rioter Who Wore 'Camp Auschwitz' Sweatshirt Gets Jail Term

[Norbert]

A Virginia man who stormed the U.S. Capitol while wearing an antisemitic “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt over a Nazi-themed shirt was sentenced on Thursday to 75 days of imprisonment.

Robert Keith Packer, 57, declined to address U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols before he sentenced him during hearing held by video conference. The judge noted the “incredibly offensive” message on Packer's sweatshirt before imposing the sentence.

“It seems to me that he wore that sweatshirt for a reason. We don't know what the reason was because Mr. Packer hasn't told us,” Nichols said.

Photographs of Packer wearing the sweatshirt went viral after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. When FBI agents asked him why he wore it, he “fatuously” replied, “Because I was cold,” a federal prosecutor said in a court filing.

Packer’s sweatshirt depicted an image of a human skull above the words “Camp Auschwitz.” The word “Staff” was on the back. It also bore the phrase “Work Brings Freedom,” a rough translation of the German words above the entrance gate to Auschwitz, the concentration camp in occupied Poland where Nazis killed more than 1 million men, women and children.

75 days seems way light. This guy is a piece of work and is no stranger to law enforcement.

1. 75 days. He'll be out before the year ends.

What a joke of a sentence.

2. He'll Be Out Before Halloween

I doubt he serves more than 1/2 that sentence, perhaps even less.

3. Not long enough...

That is all...

4. Good. Fuck that douchebag.

Sentence is way to light. However, a loudmouth racist douchebag like that is definitely not going to do quiet time. Chances are good his sentence will be extended due to violent circumstance. Here's hoping.....
