Judge questions if Capitol rioters are being treated fairly
By Jordan Williams - 10/01/21 06:22 PM EDT

A Washington, D.C., federal judge questioned whether alleged Capitol rioters are being treated fairly during a hearing on Friday.

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, who was appointed by former President Trump, suggested that the rioters were being treated harsher than rioters in D.C. last year following the murder of George Floyd, CNN reported.

“The US Attorney's Office would have more credibility if it was even-handed in its concern about riots and mobs in the city," McFadden said, according to the news outlet.

McFadden reportedly made the comments during a sentencing hearing for accused Capitol rioter Danielle Doyle.

Doyle, who worked ticket sales for the Oklahoma City Thunder from 2010 to 2020, pleaded guilty in July to illegally demonstrating inside the Capitol. She was identified after her coworkers saw her in a video from the riot and reported her to the FBI.

Doyle was sentenced to two months’ probation, according to a database from the Department of Justice. She will also pay a $3,000 fine and $500 in restitution.

During the sentencing, McFadden said that Doyle was “acting like all those looters and rioters last year,”  The Associated Press reported.

“That’s because looters and rioters decided the law did not apply to them," he continued.

Still, he said that Doyle’s behavior was a “national embarrassment,” and said that it “made us all feel less safe” like last year’s demonstrations, AP noted.

Interesting that "looters" was included in the description of her activities.

Did she, in fact, take anything not in a free brochure rack?

If not, the pejorative, which obviously figured in sentencing (or it would not have been mentioned) is misapplied.

That misapplication would certainly have bearing on the nature of the sentence.

Now, as for those co-workers...

It's The Hill, so it's likely the Judge's words were taken a mile out of context.

Maybe, maybe not.

But you are right about The Hill spinning counter-clockwise.

If that's the case, that they acted like the looters and rioters last year why the hell are they in jail instead of having been released and charges dismissed? All this clown has done is prove that these protesters are being discriminated against because they are Conservatives.
I really doubt that the very few that actually did take something, like Queen Nancy's fermented medication, can be put in the same class as people looting luxury goods and arson or arson with the premeditated intent to murder police officers. And yet no National Guard were deployed to protect law abiding citizens in those communist run cities that were in total anarchy, only our  representatives who were afraid of being confronted by American Citizens with a legitimate grievance.

Has anyone dared say the words, "Pretrial publicity"? Probably the only place in North America they might have a chance to have a fair trial is in Nunavut.

Distillation of the story:  Judge asks if 1/6 peaceful protestors are treated differently than the BLM/Antifa rioters, says indeed they are, and he thinks that's just great.

Congratulations, Judge McFadden.
Why did it take you NINE MONTHS to figure this out...?
