FFS you don’t bury the evidence in your own backyard, dummy.
Besides it’s not like he was trying to get rid of a corpse. There must have been literally millions of trash cans between D.C. and New York where the guy could have discreetly ditched the thing without drawing attention to himself.

Clearly they worship these things from 1/6 ala Bannon’s insurrection flag worship at a recent Virginia rally for gQp candidate Youngkin. The shield was destined for some sort of cult shrine.

Did the defense prove the victims were actually looting? If not, how does that work?

It’s the upside-backwards accountability (that is, the opposite of accountability) that the coup plotters and participants now capitalize upon: fame and/or notoriety, the oddly specific virtue-signalling and dog-whistling, the questionable motivations in the name of The Public Good (if they bother to name it at all) that drive these people to try for governmental office.

To become mini-Trumps.
Mini-disrupters.
I suppose they all have to start somewhere. /s
Gosh and golly, I wonder what would happen were these people to be elected to “serve” the public. And who would be complicit. And who would “contribute” to their political campaign funds.
I simply can’t trust such ardent political candidate newbies for… well… what I hope are perfectly obvious reasons.
Not that the U.S. has much of a functional government (legislative, executive or judiciary) in most departments these days. Merrick Garland seems to be missing in action:

I was about to cite the constitutional definition of treason, but damn if this is not a war for the survival of our country and he was providing tangible assistance to the enemy. Treason it is, then!

Ironically, the people who justified and funded the Jan6th insurrection qualify as aiding enemies “foreign and domestic” more than the actual enemies at (and inside) the gates!
