A New Jersey electrician who repeatedly attacked police officers during the Jan. 6, 2021, siege at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Friday to 12 years in prison by a judge who called him “a menace to our society.”
Christopher Joseph Quaglin argued with and insulted U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden before and after the judge handed him one of the longest prison sentences among hundreds of Capitol riot cases.
“You’re Trump’s worst mistake of 2016,” Quaglin told McFadden, who was nominated to the court by then-President Donald Trump in 2017.
“What an outrage. What a disgrace,” the judge said.
Quaglin complained about his jail conditions and pushed conspiracy theories about the Jan. 6 siege during his rambling remarks in the courtroom. He also took issue with labeling the Jan. 6 attack as an insurrection.
Quaglin complained about his jail conditions
I absolutely love how republicans all think prisons are insufficiently cruel, then suddenly become prison abolitionists, but only for Trump and Jan 6ers.
Like nah they’re treating you with kiddy gloves. People got decades for non-violent crimes during the George Floyd protests.
Trump, the guy who said that police should rough up people they arrest, can’t take the temperature of the courtroom (which isn’t even cold). He complains about it constantly.
But prisons are supposed to be cruel?

No, prisons are not supposed to be cruel. They are supposed to be safe places of learning that rehabilitate those society has failed. We have a bunch of sadistic toddlers running the place sadly, so here we are.
Who got decades for non-violent crimes during BLM protests? Do you have names/sources?
I’m certain I saw something about someone getting 10+ years for burning police cars back in 2020, but I can’t find it.
I could be misremembering and it was just the prosecutor asking for it, or google could just be complete shit now.
Ok serious question, what part of arson seems non-violent to you? And I can find you an example of two individuals who threw moltovs at a NYPD Van, They both pled out to less than 2 years.

Where is all this caviler attitude to setting fire to something with possibly 20 gallons of accelerant in it’s belly on a public street coming from. Can not speak to other states but NY literally has justification of murder if you see someone setting your residence on fire, you are fully authorized to kill them under law, NYPL 35.20(2) and thats New York (Including NYC). The risk to grave physical injury is so high in a fire that it is okay to kill to stop it. Trying to say literally trying to torch something with a belly of gas on a public street is okay? Do they not still teach about the Great Chicago fire and San Francisco Earthquake Fire in school anymore?

Same amount of attention to detail and grasp of readily available facts as his Dear Leader, I see…

They’re not bright, remember the guy crying about Obama not doing for Katrina? The scariest part of the right, is the lack of education they have. It’s a cult of stupid and it’s hard to fight stupid.
Now do Trump.
I highly doubt he will learn much after getting out. He will probably be even more radicalized after.
Maybe he’ll learn to not do it again, or it gets the prison scentence.
Also a bunch of years without that idiot running around in society.
Oh he wont get out. Someone this stupid is gonna go up to the wrong person, full of undeserved bravado, and get shanked.
One can only hope. If he doesn’t have kids, I want to nominate him for the Darwin Awards.
You already know he’s a racist pussy. He’s going to be someones bitch until they get tired of him and shank his dumbass.
Remember when they said, “They can’t charge everyone.”

This dude is a traitor and should be in jail a long time

I love that judges act like God sprouted them out of the earth directly into their courtroom.

Good. Fuck this guy straight to hell.
No quarter for fascists or their enablers.

Can’t even get his insults factually correct.

You see judge, I was actually an antifa agitator, not a right-wing shithead trying to interfere with an election certification. You don’t understand my case at all!
You see, they’re only insurrectionists if they’re from Afghanistan. Otherwise they’re sparkling freedom fighters.
“Did i say 12 years?? I meant 21, apologies for the mistake, now go rot in hell you pile of shit traitor.”
#1 on the pardon list if Trump is re-elected…
