‘Jan. 6 choir’ member sentenced to 7 years in Capitol attack
“I am not some crazed maniac,” said the crazed maniac at his sentencing.
As easy as it is to set aside, if this is what these guys think and see in themselves, then what is wrong? Why don't they see it, at least eventually? Dismissing his statement is the easy part. And I don't mean to get anyone down about that either. Have at it. I'm just very curious how anyone, let alone many someones, could do such things and then believe they haven't done the thing opposite to what they are saying. And if it's delusion, sure, but why and how did it happen.
Shane Jenkins, 46, acknowledged in D.C. federal court that he had an “extensive” criminal history and apologized “for all the pain and suffering I’ve caused.” But, he added: “I love this country. I’m not some crazed maniac.”
Using a tomahawk he brought with him from Texas, Jenkins was the first to smash a window on the West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol, and was caught on video shouting “we paid for it, it’s our f---ing building.”
Uhhhmmm. Ok, buddy.
I really try to think of myself as being nonjudgmental, apparently not in regards to the folks.
I have read/skimmed most of the articles about these people every time another is sentenced, every single time, at the end of the article, a voice/my conscience automatically chimes in, internally, "wow, pathetic".
So many of them have essentially whined, "I had a bad childhood/youth. I shouldn't be punished for trying to overthrow the government :(". Take responsibility for your own actions.
