I know l've mentioned this before, but during my trial i was found not guilty on the use of mace charge after I was able to prove I deployed my mace against the proud boys in self defense and defense of property, and that I was assaulted first.

I know l've mentioned this before, but during my trial i was found not guilty on the use of mace charge after I was able to prove I deployed my mace against the proud boys in self defense and defense of property, and that I was assaulted first. When I was first assaulted by PBs, I was filming a flag burning and it was entirely unprovoked. I did however get found guilty on felony riot just for being there, despite all the evidence showing why I was there and what I was doing. The prosecutor still painted
me to be the ring leader of antifa and "leading chargers" that day against PBs. The trial itself was absolute hell. The time leading up to it was hell. They sent me to jail where I spent two weeks in maximum security and I now am on 2.5 years of probation.

Earlier this week, local Proud Boy Berry Johnson plead guilty to his charges stemming from that same day before his trial was set to begin. Although during my trial the prosecutor argued that the definition of someone "participating" in a riot included just simply speaking to people who may have different intentions, Berry did not receive this charge. By that definition, anyone present would have been a "participant." The fact that a few dozen publicly identified proud boys who were there and brutally assaulting people who received no charges aside, Berry Johnson was only charged with a misdemeanor. Not only was he acting violently throughout the day and instigating violence, but the situation he caught charges on he assaulted an older gentleman and pulled a knife on him along with tearing up his banner.

Mind you after I had my lawyer tell them I would *only* possibly entertain noncooperative plea deals, in the three years of dealing with this case before it went to trial I was only ever offered one plea deal- which was to plead guilty to all my chargers and do a month in jail lol.

Fully fascist state, full stop, masks off. They’re saying the quiet part out loud. I’m not surprised by this, but going through it is beyond dystopian.
