Prosecutors seek jail term for Capitol rioter who wore ‘Camp Auschwitz’ sweatshirt
[IsraelTimes] Robert Keith Packer told FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...agents he wore antisemitic sweatshirt "because he was cold,’ expressed no remorse for taking part in storming of US Capitol Federal prosecutors on Monday recommended a prison sentence of more than two months for a Virginia man who stormed the US Capitol wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt. Photographs of Robert Keith Packer wearing the sweatshirt with the antisemitic message went viral after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. When FBI agents asked him why he wore the sweatshirt, he "fatuously" replied "because I was cold," prosecutors said in their sentencing memo. "Without expressing any remorse for being part of the rioting that day, Packer continually said it was ’hard to tell’ which side people were on," prosecutors wrote. More than 100 coppers were maimed when a mob of Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... supporters attacked the Capitol while Congress was holding a joint session to certify President Joe The Big GuyBiden ...46th president of the U.S., who gives the term geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan.... ’s 2020 electoral victory. US District Judge Carl Nichols is scheduled to sentence Packer on May 23. He faces a maximum sentence of six months imprisonment after pleading guilty in January to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. Prosecutors asked Nichols to sentence Packer to 75 days of incarceration followed by three years of probation and 60 hours of community service. The words "Camp Auschwitz" were above an image of a human skull on Packer’s sweatshirt. It also bore the phrase "Work Brings Freedom," a rough translation of the German words above the entrance gate to Auschwitz, the concentration camp in Poland where Nazis killed more than 1 million men, women and kiddies. Packer, 57, of Newport News, Virginia, is a self-employed pipe fitter and a nonlicensed plumber. Prosecutors say he has a lengthy criminal record, with approximately 21 convictions, mostly for drunken driving and other motor vehicle violations. Packer told the FBI that he was about 10 to 12 feet away from a rioter, Ashli Babbitt, when a police officer fatally shot her. "He told the agents he heard the shot and saw her fall back from the window she was trying to climb through," prosecutors wrote. FBI agents arrested Packer a week after the riot. He has remained free pending his sentencing hearing. Packer was evasive and minimized his actions when FBI agents interviewed him, according to prosecutors. "He was more interested in relaying how he received hate mail and how he was ’hounded’ by the media for interviews," they wrote. Posted by: trailing wife 2022-05-18 |
