2 men accused of using chemical on officer Brian Sicknick at the Capitol riot to stay in jail, judge

Source: CNN

Two men accused of spraying police with chemical spray, including on Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, in the Capitol riot will stay in jail as they await trial, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday.

The long-awaited ruling from Judge Thomas Hogan of the DC District Court comes in one of the most closely watched cases related to Trump supporters' violence against police during the insurrection.

The two Trump supporters spraying toxic chemicals at police during the riot "wasn't just out of the blue," Hogan said on Tuesday. George Tanios and Julian Khater "had a plan to use those devices as weapons at the Capitol," Hogan added.

Tanios and Khater have pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of assaulting police and other charges.

The Medical Examiner for DC says otherwise. I am not a Medical Doctor but I find it hard to believe that a healthy young police officer died the day after being involved in a mid evil battle on the west front and was exposed to chemical agents, that said, the ME saw it differently than I do. Still, they clearly assaulted a police officer as part of an armed insurrection against the United States and they should go to Jail for a long time

Assaulting a police officer isn't enough here. They brought the chemical to the Capitol riot with the full intention of using it on police officers. Keep them locked up.
