Capitol insurrection: Rioter asks judge for a lighter sentence in order to 'walk his dog' econotimes.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from econotimes.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Daniel Egvedt, you may or may not remember, is the sociopath who went inside the Capitol building three times, fighting with police officers each time. He faces nine counts for his actions but wants to be released from jail because -wait for it- he s been the victim of police brutality. In one of the videos he claims the riot was justified because This is the people s house and it s been taken over. The constitution says to preserve and protect against all enemies foreign and domestic. Photos of Egvedt with Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Lara Trump, and Mike Pence adorned his social media so one assumes he s as MAGA as it gets. With any luck at all he ll get some serious jail time to account for his actions, and his devotion to all things Trump.
