    Worrell had been on house arrest after court records show he complained about the treatment at the Washington D.C. jail. The federal judge allowed him to await sentencing while on house arrest.

    Maybe stop treating right-wing terrorist extremists with kid-gloves?

      The cops moved barricades for these terrorists. They took selfies with the terrorists. The cops held the hands of terrorists who were leaving the capital so that they didn’t fall while they were going down the stairs.

      During the BLM protests in Pittsburgh we were on our knees with our hands in the air when the cops started shooting.

      The reason the system didn’t support Trump’s overthrow of democracy is that in Biden they saw someone who was competent enough to get us through the pandemic and back to working for the masters but would never give us any sort of actual power. Trump was bad for business unless you were in his inner circle.

          They probably don’t mean with lead. The cops had a fondness for pepper spray balls, which incidentally they also shot at peoples faces when they’re supposed to shoot the ground. Many people lost eyes or other things to police violence during those protests.

            I’m so glad there is a ‘block this person’ option on jerboa. It’s no use trying to reason with these people, just block and let them talk to the void forever.

    What a wimp and a coward. I had forgotten that he was under house arrest after he whined about jail being full of meanies. Aww! (I’d normally sympathize with jail conditions being terrible, but this is a guy who votes for the people who want to make those conditions even worse, so…)

    I love that the judge gets to sentence him after this stunt. It’ll be hard for the judge to maintain a straight face when this asshole inevitably reads his prepared statement about remorse and personal responsibility.

      I wouldn’t get my hopes up. The same judge gave a domestic terrorist house arrest. I think “I think he learned his lesson” is a likely sentencing excuse here

        I won’t… but hopefully the judge is the kind who gets really mad when people betray his trust! 😈

          Easy with the Justice boner, it’s not an attractive look no matter how right or wrong you are.

            That piece of shit tried to help overthrow democracy. I’m pissed, and I don’t care whether people think it’s “attractive” or not

              Classic Golden Rule. Stooping to their level doesn’t do you any good nor does it do the country any good nor does it do your fellow citizens any good so cut it out.

                  When you stop acting like a child people will stop treating you like one. It isn’t rocket science.

        Not mafia. All names I said are separate.

        They are more like boogaloo… sovereignty…

        It’s a group of men that believe in brotherhood over government and are willing to defend it.

        Where I live stolen goods mysteriously show up near their lodges but no one ever gets arrested. It’s a nation wide click of sovereign citizens whether they are crims or not the badges on the blazers get you easy connections nationwide. Free work free connections.

        Useful for criminal networking.

          Are you sure you’re not talking about the Hell’s Angels?

          Because the Masons definitely aren’t organized crime. They’re a formal society with silly secret handshakes. They haven’t been relevant politically since the Enlightenment.

          The organizations most-opposed to the Masons in the last century have been the Catholic Church, LDS church, and Nazi Germany (hundreds of thousands of Masons were killed in the Holocaust).

          They do have a problematic history with race and gender, which is why I have decided not to join them (I do have Masonic friends and family), but overall they’re pretty much the most-innocuous “secret society” there is.

          Yes, being a Mason can get you an inside scoop on a job opening. But that’s just how networking works. You can do the same thing with church connections, bowling leagues, alumni associations, professional organizations, and more.

          The masons are just a bunch of old men who get together to hang out and sometimes do charity work. They aren’t evil or really that mysterious. If you go to a lodge and ask for a tour they’ll likely show you around. They’re basically just weird churches. The one I’ve been to just had a large hall for ceremonies and a few other rooms. The foyer had a very large bible under glass IIRC, but its been more than a decade since then. They’re basically dying out because young people want nothing to do with that crap.

    Worrell is from Naples, FL, which is in Collier County, so he was still local (as opposed to being fully “on the run”). I’m curious to know the circumstances of his excuse for absconding, where he was located, and who (if anyone) was harboring him.
