1/6 Suspect Asks Judge for 'Right to Defend Himself' From Prison Guards

[RandySF]

A suspect in the January 6 Capitol riot accused of assaulting several officers in the attack asked a federal judge for permission to defend himself against prison guards at a status hearing for his case.

In a tense exchange in court Thursday, Josiah Kenyon, 34, who was arrested in Reno, Nevada, asked Judge Carl Nichols to acknowledge that he has the right to defend himself if corrections officers try to assault him, according to Politico's Kyle Cheney.

Before his comment, Nichols warned Kenyon to consult with his attorney before speaking. "I have a high enough IQ range to not screw up there, boss," Kenyon shot back to the judge.

Nichols said he would not be "making any finding one way or another" about his right to defend himself while incarcerated. At the end of the meeting, Nichols asked if Kenyon had any other issues to raise.

"My wife and children [are] homeless on the street. Have a wonderful day," he replied.

1. The Pig really is the pied piper of malignant narcissists..

[Chainfire]

2. Why, I think that it is his Constitutional right to have a gun in prison.

The same as wife beaters and child abusers...

What an idiot.

[MineralMan]

3. Well, he is doing a great job of alienating that judge.

That's never a good idea, I suspect.

Why are his wife and children homeless on the street? Because he's a dickhead who isn't helping to provide for them, due to his actions in DC on 1/6. Moron!

[Chainfire]

4. Why, I think that it is the Constitutional right of an insurrectionist to have a gun in prison.

The same for axe murderers, wife beaters and child abusers...

What an idiot.

[CurtEastPoint]

5. He seems nice.

[Aristus]

13. Thanks for living down to all the stereotypes there, Cooter.

Makes it easier to laugh at your moronic ass...

7. I would have thought about how attacking the Capitol

would have affected my wife and kids before committing the crimes. But then I was brought up on the simple rule that actions have consequences.
Fuck off you lawless, entitled asshole.

[Solly Mack]

8. What.an.idiot.

[Beachnutt]

9. More than likely one of his buds

is taking care of his wife....

[vlyons]

10. ok so here's the way life works

"All experience is preceded by mind.
Led by mind.
Created by mind.
Speak or act with contaminated mind.
and suffering follows.
Like wheel of the wagon follows the hoof of the ox.

Speak or act with a peaceful mind,
and happiness follows.
Like a never departing shadow"

-- The Dammapada

Had Mr Kenyon stayed home on Jan 6, he wouldn't be in his current situation. Do you think it has ever occurred to him that he wishes he hadn't gone to DC. Hadn't been conned by the ConMan-in-Chief?

His smart ass comments to the judge leads me to believe that he hasn't learned squat.

11. Whose fault is it your family is homeless?

Yours, you freak.

[Scottie Mom]

12. Asshole, your wife and children are homeless because of you!

Try taking responsibility for your actions.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

14. Well, the dude does have some sack I'll give him that ...

But ... he's also a freakin' idiot ... it's like he's from the cast of Jackass.

[jaysunb]

15. Here's real deal

1)He's preempting getting his ass kicked by the guards.

2)Calling out for $$$ from the insurrection financiers.

#2 will probably work

#1....I don't think so. They'll put other inmates in position to take care of that..

Good luck asshole

[unblock]

16. So, in trying to avoid consequences for having hit officers, what's most on his mind is

if he can avoid consequences for hitting more officers....

Nice iq range you got there, boss!

[irisblue]

17. "My best thinking got me here." is a long time saying in recovery groups.

Dudes actions are causing his family problems.
Fool raises hands to a Corrections Officer, he will get hurt.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. I hope he gets 20 years just for his sense of superiority and

disrespect.

[bottomofthehill]

19. Maybe you should not have hit a cop in the head with a club

Your family was homeless with you and are now homeless without you. Hopefully without you they will be able to receive some help from the public. You on the other hand will be getting three hits and a cot for a while, and hopefully it’s a long while. You belong behind bars for a long time you fucking dirtball.

20. Stupid games, stupid prizes.

[tikka]

21. An excellent example of Dunning-Krueger
