QAnon-believing Indiana hairdresser sentenced to jail for MAGA riot — after begging judge to let her off easy
On Tuesday, WFYI reported that Dona Bissey, a hairdresser from Indiana who promoted QAnon conspiracy theories on social media, has been sentenced to jail time for her involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot.
"U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan instead sentenced her to 14 days of incarceration and 60 hours of community service, stressing she did so because Bissey had celebrated and bragged about her participation in what amounted to an attempted overthrow of the government," reported Michael Kunzelman.
"'The fact that she subscribes to bizarre conspiracy theories, that's her right. That's something she is allowed to do as an American,' Chutkan said."
The QAnon conspiracy theory, which borrows from centuries-old anti-Semitic propaganda, asserts that the federal government and U.S. society are under the control of a cabal of Satan-worshipping sex traffickers who consume the flesh of children — and Donald Trump was fighting to stop it.
"Justice Department prosecutor Joshua Rothstein said Bissey appears to be an avid consumer of other conspiracy theories, including that the coronavirus is a 'hoax pandemic' and that the COVID-19 vaccine is part of a Jewish plot to murder people," said the report. "She also appeared to believe the pandemic was foreshadowed by 'predictive programming' during the opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympics in London."
Bissey pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and had begged the judge for leniency, claiming that she is being ostracized in her small Indiana town and her salon has suffered a collapse of business. She specifically requested probation in lieu of jail time, in part because she was unvaccinated and was afraid she would catch COVID and die in a correctional facility.

MAGA rioter 'weeps' in court as defense lawyer says he was a 'victim' of Trump's lies: report
On Tuesday, WHAM reported that a New York man "wept" at his detention hearing for his alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot.
"Cody Mattice sat quietly weeping in court Tuesday, his head down, resting on the table in front of him, only lifting it to whisper to his attorney," said the report. "The 28-year-old is accused of taking part in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Prosecutor Brett Harvey said he has enough evidence to put him away for at least 20 years.
Mattice was arrested in Hilton, New York last week, with the help of internet sleuths who knew him as "Cody from Rochester." He allegedly helped break down barriers at the Capitol and pepper-sprayed Capitol Police officers to allow others to break through the line.
At the center of the case are text messages that Mattice and fellow rioters sent to each other in which they confessed to committing multiple crimes during the January 6th riots.
One text message from Mattice boasted that "we took the capital, bro ... I yanked the gates from the cops. I also maced a cop." Another text from Mattice justified his participation in the riots by saying that "Trump told us to because of the fraud."
Mattice's defense attorney, Wendy Abdallah, cited that last text message to argue that her client and his allies "are victims of our president - our former president."
Mattice's hearing comes as many other rioters, like just-sentenced Indiana hairdresser Dona Bissey, have begged for leniency. According to NBC4 Washington reporter Scott MacFarlane, however, there are signs that judges plan to throw the book at many remaining defendants even if they cooperate.

I don't even know how you owe $100,000.
You gotta be white to even get that kind of credit.
If you're black and that rent is paid on the 11th, they already got an eviction warning on your door by the 12th.
