Antony Vo, 32, was sentenced to nine months behind bars and ordered to report to a federal prison on 14 June 2024, but instead he fled to Canada.
Vo, from Indiana, was convicted at a jury trial in Washington of four counts of entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct related to his actions.
“I knew Canada has a history of being welcoming to refugees, from Vietnam war draft-dodgers to the people who hid Edward Snowden in Hong Kong,” he told AFP.

It costs him nothing, but it also gains him nothing tangible. Instead, he will ask for direct payments before pardoning any of those folks.

He’s already got these dopes buying gold shoes and trump bibles, every time he pulls some outrageous bullshit sales go up. There will be some commemorative coin minted for the release of these patriots that will get sold and net him a few more million.
