Brandon Fellows, who has called incarceration “awesome and very fun,” wants to push back his sentencing until the Supreme Court rules in a case that may affect one of his charges.
Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to deny a Jan. 6 rioter’s request to delay his sentencing, arguing that the defendant may be seeking to remain incarcerated.
Brandon Fellows was convicted last year after representing himself at trial, where he told jurors that Jan. 6 was a “beautiful day” and that he liked “the fact that those senators and congressman were in fear for their lives.”
“We had to take the election back. It was stolen,” Fellows testified, adding outside the presence of the jury that he was in a “kangaroo court” and referring to the judge as a Nazi.
Before that, Fellows was among a small percentage of Capitol attack defendants who were held in jail before their trials. He has been incarcerated since July 2021, with a sentencing hearing scheduled for Feb. 29.
Prosecutors are seeking 37 months in prison, with sentencing guidelines ranging from 30 to 37 months of incarceration.
Probably likes the neo-Nazi friends he’s made. Also though, some guys like having their life setup and planned for them each day. It’s why a lot of guys enjoy their time in the military and then continue to follow the rules even after getting out.
Reminds me of this classic that still makes me laugh.
They really could’ve taken this up a notch if he was standing in front of a corner store at the beginning instead of the prison.
That was brilliant.
Shut up! I make my bed every morning because I like it that way! For some reason…
I believe I may be autistic.
Here is why:
When I was a teenager I refused to get new shoes unless they were the exact Reebok classics I already had. When I couldn’t find them in my size any more, I bought them anyway until they were so big I looked like I had clown shoes. This did not stop until I couldn’t find them any more.
I hated (still do, but to a lesser degree) how my feet felt on the floor. I never took my shoes off. I slept in my shoes. I did not stop until i developed problems as a result and those problems were not worth dealing with. I stood on the sides of my feet in the shower to avoid how it felt when they were flat on the tub.
I can’t touch anything after I wash my hands. I’m not as bad these days, I can power through the feeling (the pandemic finally forced me to just figure it out because of frequent washing). As a kid though, I’d walk around with my hands up in the air until I could tolerate how it felt.
I slept with the same blanket from the age of 6 until I was about 26. I could not handle how any others felt. I finally retired it when it was so thin and full of holes that it wasn’t keeping parts of me warm anymore.
I could go on and on. From obsession to obsession.
I haven’t been diagnosed with anything, and I’m not gonna say I’m this, that, or the other until I know for sure. I wouldn’t be surprised though.
Another sign of autism is info dumping.
With my adhd (which has overlap with autism) I could either go on and on and on about some topics but give the most bare bones “details” about others
I like to describe a normal Brain as a light bulb with a dimmer switch and a lens. You can use the dimmer switch to accommodate for low energy or if you wanna save energy for later, and use the lens to focus attention or habits very precisely or broadly
My brain with adhd is like a high power Death Star laser either on or off, also I can’t aim it and I’m like 99% sure a hamster is at the helm
So basically I have no idea what your talking about, clearly no relationship between adhd/autism and over sharing, nope, none at all
Seems like: 1. He doesn’t get to decide, and 2. He doesn’t get a free lunch, time served and you’re out. Hell if he wanted back in, I’m sure he’d find a way.
