So he sprayed pepper gel on some cops, he was in jail but was treated poorly, put on house arrest because it was so bad and now disappeared. Weird timeline.

Here's a link to his pic and I'm guessing he's in Mexico, yeah? https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-siege/after-proud-boys-complaints-judge-calls-out-jail-warden-and-asks-ag-garland-to-investigate-potential-civil-rights-violations-of-jan-6-defendants/

Christopher Worrell of Naples, Florida, was supposed to be sentenced Friday after being found guilty of spraying pepper spray gel on police officers, as part of the mob storming the Capitol as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s presidential victory on Jan. 6, 2021. Prosecutors had asked a judge to sentence him to 14 years.

Worrell had been on house arrest in Florida since his release from jail in Washington in November 2021, less than a month after a judge substantiated his civil-rights complaints about his treatment in the jail. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth found Worrell’s medical care for a broken hand had been delayed, and held D.C. jail officials in contempt of court.

I’m pretty sure that pretty much anyone else that’s ever been “delayed medical care” has the been out on house arrest. Why wasn’t he moved to a different jail, fed if necessary? Why did all these traitors get special treatment? Iirc the shaman asshat wasn’t getting his mommies organic food so he threw a fit and got some kind of special treatment too. Plus all the ridiculously comically light sentences.
