Robert Sanford, 55, was arrested Thursday morning on four federal charges, including knowingly entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, civil disorder and assaulting officers engaging in their official duties. According to the charging documents, the extinguisher bounced off the heads of three officers, two of whom wore helmets. Sanford, 55, traveled by bus with other people to the Capitol, according to documents. He told a friend when he returned home that he had been on the grounds for 10 minutes before leaving but did not mention throwing anything at officers, authorities said. Sanford was identified after a longtime friend of his contacted the FBI in Pennsylvania and said they recognized Sanford from photos put out by the FBI. The fire extinguisher struck several police officers during the US Capitol riot. The friend said Sanford "had gone to the White House and listened to President Donald J. Trump's speech and then had followed the President's instructions and gone to the Capitol." Sanford appeared in a federal court in Pennsylvania for an initial appearance on Thursday afternoon. He was denied release and will remain in custody of the U.S. Marshals until he is transferred to Washington, D.C. The defense argued Sanford was not a flight risk or a danger to the community, noting that he has no prior arrests, is married, and has three children. The defense added that allegations that he traveled to D.C. to commit crimes are inaccurate and he is not part of any extremist groups. Prosecutors challenged that claim, saying authorities found a t-shirt associated with the far-right group Proud Boys at Sanford's home after executing a search warrant. Maybe he thought his life was in danger. Capital cops shooting protesters, just because they were protesting. If that is what you really think, you are even dumber than I had envisioned. Peaceful protesting is perfectly legal outside the Capitol building. That's not where he was and not what he was doing.

Sanford was identified after a longtime friend of his contacted the FBI in Pennsylvania and said they recognized Sanford from photos put out by the FBI. The fire extinguisher struck several police officers during the US Capitol riot. The friend said Sanford "had gone to the White House and listened to President Donald J. Trump's speech and then had followed the President's instructions and gone to the Capitol." Sanford appeared in a federal court in Pennsylvania for an initial appearance on Thursday afternoon. He was denied release and will remain in custody of the U.S. Marshals until he is transferred to Washington, D.C. The defense argued Sanford was not a flight risk or a danger to the community, noting that he has no prior arrests, is married, and has three children. The defense added that allegations that he traveled to D.C. to commit crimes are inaccurate and he is not part of any extremist groups. Prosecutors challenged that claim, saying authorities found a t-shirt associated with the far-right group Proud Boys at Sanford's home after executing a search warrant. Maybe he thought his life was in danger. Capital cops shooting protesters, just because they were protesting. If that is what you really think, you are even dumber than I had envisioned. Peaceful protesting is perfectly legal outside the Capitol building. That's not where he was and not what he was doing. And even in riot situations, the cops are not allowed to shoot looters and trespassers. So because they are in the Capital building, uninvited, they are allowed to be murdered? === Being shot by an armed guard who is being paid to protect members of congress is not exactly murder. And being "uninvited" is not exactly the same as being at the front of an unruly mob trying to break down a locked door leading to a congressional chamber. What do you suppose would have happened to a gang of thugs who crashed the gates around the White House, smashed into the White House, and were running through the halls looking to kill the POTUS? What happened at the Capitol was no different than that. Bull****. As usual, you are wrong. § 1047.7 Use of deadly force. (a) A protective force officer is authorized to use deadly force only when one or more of the following circumstances exists: (1) Self-Defense. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to protect a protective force officer who reasonably believes himself or herself to be in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm. (2) Serious offenses against persons. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the commission of a serious offense against a person(s) in circumstances presenting an imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm. There are other conditions, but the above two apply to the overrunning of the Capitol. Oh, there is no requirement to fire warning shots. Which one of those covers killing an unarmed women stuck in a window? The first is I imminent danger. None here. The second. Where was the offense against a person? Yeah Harry and Wayne both seem to gloss over that "imminent danger" part. === The "imminent danger" part seems self evident to me. You've got an unruly mob of maybe 50 to 100 people, screaming for blood, and trying to break down a locked door being defended by 3 or 4 cops. What could possibly go wrong? Supposedly Pence narrowly escaped being caught up in all that. Please note that I did not lump you and Harry together. The cop was not in imminent danger with a woman halfway thru a window. And folks had started leaving the doors before the woman tried to climb through. At the moment of the shot, the cop was *not* in imminent danger. Even if she'd gotten through the window she'd have had to get through the barricade on the other side of the door. === Ultimately it will be decisions by the legal system and the courts to decide all that. Our internet opinions will carry little weight in those proceedings. My late maternal grandmother would have had an answer however: "If she hadn't been there it wouldn't have happened." Her logic in such things was always irrefutable. I could say the same thing about Trayvonn, George Floyd, Michael Brown and Freddie Gray. All that said, I'd be very surprised if the cop even gets a reprimand let alone prosecuted or convicted. Have any of you "law and order" types considered the irony of your defense of this womans behavior? I just want the same standards to apply. If they can shoot a woman trying to get into an empty office, shop owners should be able to shoot looters. === In a "stand your ground" state you are allowed to use deadly force to prevent a forcible felony. You may very well have to defend that position in court however if the case becomes politicized or the facts are in doubt. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0700-0799/0776/Sections/0776.013.html It didn't work for George Zimmermann. He spent a half million in lawyer tax to exert that right. === Zimmermann was a questionable case in my opinion. He was not exactly a poster boy for responsible gun ownership, and in my opinion, probably provoked the assault by Trayvon Martin. I think he was lucky to have been acquitted but was glad to see "stand your ground" ultimately upheld in court. BTW, quick geography lesson. The Capitol is in DC and that is an "Obligation of Retreat" jurisdiction. Just a hint about how they feel, there is a guy in the news who was charged with possessing unregistered bullets. Wayne, this line, "...probably provoked the assault..." sounds like it came right from CNN! === Maybe "sounds like" but it wasn't. You'll notice that my statement was prefaced by "in my opinion." If your opinion is otherwise that's fine with me. You've been sounding a bit confrontational lately John. Anything bothering you? I stand corrected. I should have said, "Your opinion that (he) probably provoked the assault..." sounds like it came right from CNN. Confrontational? Because I disagree with much of the leftist bull**** you and Harry are pushing? === I don't consider myself the slightest bit leftist but this is one of those rare times that Harry and I agree on some things. It's important to realize that being anti-Trump doest not equate to left or right political leanings. I'm against Trump because he's a scum bag, lying scoundrel - and that was before he tried to steal the election and overthrow the constitution. I have no problem at all with your being against Trump. But you've been spouting the leftist crap like CNN (and Harry). === OK, I'll play. Please cite an example or two of leftist crap that I have spouted. |
