Judge slams Capitol riot defendant for requesting Jamaican vacation on Jan. 6 anniversary

If Anthony Williams had his way, he’d be in sunny Jamaica later this month, vacationing with his girlfriend and impressing her family.

But Williams, a Michigan man accused of storming the U.S. Capitol a year ago in what he allegedly called the “proudest day of my life,” can’t travel outside the country without a federal judge’s approval. So on Thursday, the anniversary of the Capitol riot, he filed a motion to get it.

Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell denied his request within hours.

“This Court will not commemorate the one-year anniversary of this attack on the Capitol by granting defendant’s request for non-essential foreign travel when he is awaiting judgment for his actions on that day,” Howell wrote.

Some of the other judges that give light sentences, not so much. They could and should do better.
