Worrell had been on house arrest after court records show he complained about the treatment at the Washington D.C. jail. The federal judge allowed him to await sentencing while on house arrest.
Maybe stop treating right-wing terrorist extremists with kid-gloves?
The cops moved barricades for these terrorists. They took selfies with the terrorists. The cops held the hands of terrorists who were leaving the capital so that they didn't fall while they were going down the stairs.
During the BLM protests in Pittsburgh we were on our knees with our hands in the air when the cops started shooting.
The reason the system didn't support Trump's overthrow of democracy is that in Biden they saw someone who was competent enough to get us through the pandemic and back to working for the masters but would never give us any sort of actual power. Trump was bad for business unless you were in his inner circle.
Like the song goes "Some of those that work forces, Are the same that burn crosses"
He was so proud he had to bravely run away.
Good Sir Robin?
Now I wonder if he was clacking coconuts and galloping the whole time he was on the run.
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Oh yes, the southern pride and white flag waving strikes again, haha.
What a wimp and a coward. I had forgotten that he was under house arrest after he whined about jail being full of meanies. Aww! (I’d normally sympathize with jail conditions being terrible, but this is a guy who votes for the people who want to make those conditions even worse, so…)
I love that the judge gets to sentence him after this stunt. It’ll be hard for the judge to maintain a straight face when this asshole inevitably reads his prepared statement about remorse and personal responsibility.
I wouldn't get my hopes up. The same judge gave a domestic terrorist house arrest. I think "I think he learned his lesson" is a likely sentencing excuse here
I won’t… but hopefully the judge is the kind who gets really mad when people betray his trust! 😈
Easy with the Justice boner, it's not an attractive look no matter how right or wrong you are.
Zoinks! You can't put me in jail, its full of c-c-c-cr-criminals! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE SCOOB!!!!
Now let's see who the criminal really was the whole time... ME?????
He and his chin are in custody.
"Him are?"
Fair. Fixed.
Ooo. The judge ain't gonna be so kind to Captain Hapsburg here
How chin you make a joke like that.
Reminds me I should read Bruce Campbell's autobiography again.
FO phase has begun.
What does that mean?
It's the phase after FA. Fuck Around- Find Out.
It's annoying that there's no mention of the consequences for running away
Well, he absconded before sentencing. I'm sure that will affect the sentence handed down.
Prosecutors had sought a 14 year prison sentence for Worrell.
Let’s hope it’s enhanced for running away.
Probably because it has to be charged as a separate crime.
That's fair
I’m fine with not knowing the consequences yet. Compare it to a meal that you know will be good: this is just the appetizer.
Comfort yourself with the knowledge that he’s shitting his pants in prison every minute, while we wait for news. In our homes.
Realistically they haven't been applied yet. Give it a few days
From another article:
“They discovered the 52-year-old unconscious and immediately provided medical attention,” the release said. “Worrell was transferred to an area hospital where he remains at this time.”
Sounds like he tried to commit suicide. I'm glad he was found.
The Master Race everybody.
Hey man, why the long face. Chin up, proud boy!
Fuck proud boys bloods, Mason, and oath keepers. Modern day mafias. Call em out.
Wait masons are mafia? They never covered that part in National Treasure.
Not mafia. All names I said are separate.
They are more like boogaloo.. sovereignty...
It's a group of men that believe in brotherhood over government and are willing to defend it.
Where I live stolen goods mysteriously show up near their lodges but no one ever gets arrested. It's a nation wide click of sovereign citizens whether they are crims or not the badges on the blazers get you easy connections nationwide. Free work free connections.
Useful for criminal networking.
Are you sure you're not talking about the Hell's Angels?
Because the Masons definitely aren't organized crime. They're a formal society with silly secret handshakes. They haven't been relevant politically since the Enlightenment.
The organizations most-opposed to the Masons in the last century have been the Catholic Church, LDS church, and Nazi Germany (hundreds of thousands of Masons were killed in the Holocaust).
They do have a problematic history with race and gender, which is why I have decided not to join them (I do have Masonic friends and family), but overall they're pretty much the most-innocuous "secret society" there is.
Yes, being a Mason can get you an inside scoop on a job opening. But that's just how networking works. You can do the same thing with church connections, bowling leagues, alumni associations, professional organizations, and more.
The masons are just a bunch of old men who get together to hang out and sometimes do charity work. They aren't evil or really that mysterious. If you go to a lodge and ask for a tour they'll likely show you around. They're basically just weird churches. The one I've been to just had a large hall for ceremonies and a few other rooms. The foyer had a very large bible under glass IIRC, but its been more than a decade since then. They're basically dying out because young people want nothing to do with that crap.
Worrell is from Naples, FL, which is in Collier County, so he was still local (as opposed to being fully "on the run"). I'm curious to know the circumstances of his excuse for absconding, where he was located, and who (if anyone) was harboring him.
