That is serious shit and risked injury to anyone inside. And he could not know what would happen because he had someone else do the deed for him.

Already served 7yrs. for a previous crime. I guess he's just trying to pad his resume for a future Congressional run as a Republican candidate.

Candelaria said, however, Pena still needs a pardon, and that it typically takes decades of good behavior before you can get a pardon.


Attending the J6 riot and shooting at Democrats does NOT qualify as "good behavior."

And NBC and CNN have stories on it too. And when the shootings happened it was national - several DU threads on it, and national reports on the shootings and then 1st arrest:

Yes, the Party of Law and Order. In a pig's eye, Malaise.

As for the national media? They'd rather follow the "The Scandal" du jour than rake the terrorists/sociopaths over the coals. Strange that because if the Magats get what they want (or think they want), journalists would be the first group marched off to the Gulag. You would think self-preservation would kick in. But no. With a few exceptions, the press rather follow the next bright shiny object.

To the detriment of us all.

Did he research his options as an arrest, I wonder? A 50-point loss and he refuses to concede? A 50-point loss and he then sends a hit squad to what? Kill or intimidate office holders, people who actually won their elections.

A true Magat! When a result in life is unpleasant, you burn everyone's house down.

Hope he enjoys his jail cell.
