WASHINGTON A jury convicted a staunch QAnon believer who stormed the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6 of all counts on Friday, deliberating for four before delivering their verdict.
Jurors heard two full days of testimony from witnesses about Doug Jensen, a Des Moines, Iowa, construction worker who traveled to D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, and eventually made his way to the front lines of the mob at the Capitol. Open source video showed Jensen was one of the first 10 rioters to enter the building through a broken window on the Senate Wing side.
Jurors deliberated throughout the afternoon Friday, and even asked U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly for an extra hour, before returning their verdict finding Jensen guilty of five felonies and two misdemeanor counts, as follows:
Civil disorder
Obstruction of an official proceeding
Assaulting, resisting or impeding police
Entering and remaining in a restricted building with a dangerous weapon
Disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building with a dangerous weapon
Disorderly conduct in a Capitol building
Parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building

(33,321 posts)Still waiting to see these charges added to an insurrectionist:
18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection
18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
18 U.S. Code § 2385 - Advocating overthrow of Government
What they did was serious shit. The consequences should send a clear message to future insurrectionists.

(8,810 posts)Maybe they are saving those charges for the top 200 who brought us this entire nightmare.
Russia corralled thousands of protestors months ago, transported them off somewhere? and disappeared them.......
No Judge, No Courts, No Judgements, just disappeared them....................
We wouldn't do THAT, but maybe a life sentence in Colorado's Super-Max.......????????/

All of the people who held off the mob and suffered for it are heroes. But Goldman's situation was extremely precarious, being alone with a large part of the mob and having the courage and clear thinking to steer them away from Pence and his family.

ETA: There are racists who won't resort to physical violence, but have no problem with verbal derision, degradation, and violence.
