So.... This accused US Capitol attack defendant is disrupting court and yelling on the phone to get court’s attention. Something about his mask. His hearing hasn’t begun yet. Clerk responds, “we can’t have these interruptions”

ALERT: Initial appearance has just begun for Landon Copeland of Utah. Feds say Copeland assaulted and toppled police on Jan 6. Copeland is joining hearing by phone and has already yelled at courtroom clerk trying to get heard as call was established. Standby...

This is getting out of control. Defendant is now yelling at judge “Is any of this negotiable? I used to be a free man... until you locked me up”. Copeland’s hearing is still several minutes away, he’s disrupting court ... and appears rattled by pretrial detention

!!! Oh good god. Copeland just screamed “I object” in *another* defendant’s hearing when a defense lawyer criticized Donald Trump. Court then silenced his phone


Scott MacFarlane
@MacFarlaneNews
And he interrupted again when a defense lawyer for another defendant blamed Fox News for alleged radicalization of Insurrectionists

!!!!!!!! Copeland is screaming. At judge. “How long can I postpone this? I’m a vet. You owe this to me. You’ve all f***ed this up. You’re a robot to me. You can’t come get me if I don’t want you to!”

This accused Capitol Insurrectionist is using brutal vulgarities at judge and warning her “you can’t get me if you want me. You can’t kill me if you want to”

“I’m a vet. You owe this to me”.... says accused US Capitol rioter. In DC court hearing just now

[Faux pas]

1. I'm

beginning to think "the others" are all some kind of speed freaks, ya know?

[mopinko]

16. i have zero doubt.

roid rage. speeders. meth. oxy.
all rampant in the red states. and w cops, etc.

[Faux pas]

24. Thank you

for thinking the same thing. It's the only thing I could think of that would cause mass insanity. I think we need to be drug testing all politicians. It's illegal for us, it's illegal for them.

[bottomofthehill]

2. Too bad, so sad

Go directly to jail, do not pass go, and do not collect your 200 dollars. In other words, go fuck yourself.

[asiliveandbreathe]

3. Copeland looking for a mental defect ..insanity plea..???

Go to jail scumbag, coward, insurrectionist POS!!!!

[Arkansas Granny]

7. I wondered that as well.

8. Well it's ongoing, to be fair. He's live tweeting it.

It’s why to *love* Twitter

[Nevilledog]

9. McFarland was live tweeting.....

[FakeNoose]

12. Thank you

There's no mention as to why this guy even had a phone. It should have been confiscated before facing the judge, am I right?

Plus, this behavior in court should have put him in cuffs and leg irons.

[Nevilledog]

15. He's appearing by phone. For his court appearance.

[soothsayer]

18. I think he's on zoom or dialing in remotely

[Volaris]

5. 'You cant come get me if I dont want you to'

Court response: Challenge ACCEPTED.

Dumb motherfucker. Drag his seditious ass into local county in shackles on a federal fuck warrant. See how far his sovereign citizen ass gets with that bullshit.

[prodigitalson]

35. He's already in jail

That's the hilarious part.

[IcyPeas]

6. from Utah. it still amazes me that people came from far and wide to come to the insurrection.

[Haggard Celine]

29. That in itself is the evidence that this was all

encouraged and planned from the beginning. Trump had been telling them for over a month to come to Washington on Jan.6, and they always understood that their job was to stop the electoral college count by any means necessary. It was planned at the very top and Trump knew that his little followers would do whatever he told them.

[gratuitous]

10. Sounds to me

Sounds to me as if Mr. MacFarlane is about to get a lesson in civics that he should have learned a long time ago.

[Hortensis]

42. Extremely slow learner. Imagine inviting

his buddies to join him in a righteous verbal riot at a court hearing.

MacFarlane says the court's about to order a competency exam. Wish they'd do that for all trumpist voters, weed some out for sure.

[hatrack]

11. Somebody's got a puffy sense of entitlement the size of the Graf Zeppelin . . .

. . . though so far, things seem to be going a bit more like here sister ship, the Hindenburg.

[soothsayer]

20. O the humanity! Did I see today is the anniversary?

[hatrack]

22. Yep, May 6th . . . "We take you now to Lakehurst, New Jersey . . .

Landon Copeland, caught on video brawling with cops at the Capitol, has been interrupting hearings for other Capitol defendants. His case has finally been called, and it’s not going well.

“I’M GOING TO TELL THE TRUUUUUTTTTHH,” he yells at the clerk.

Two f-bombs so far. Make that three. Make that four. This isn’t going well. Read @pbmelendez for the rundown on what happened so far.

44. Or like the many marinated in the same delusions.

I'm surprised he didn't try to make a citizen's arrest of the judge.

Judge says the appropriate next step is to refer Copeland to behavioral health authorities for a remote competency screening and then set another status hearing. Finds him eligible for court-appointed counsel.

[soothsayer]

39. He's getting a competency hearing. Sounds like the right thing to do

They’re figuring out can it be in Utah where he lives, or in dc

[hatrack]

17. How old is this clown, 12?

He looks to be at least 40 years old - you'd think he would have learned something about manners by this point in life.

[spooky3]

23. Let me guess--he's white. And as an added bonus, the judge is female,

So he doesn’t have to be respectful or anything.

[Buns_of_Fire]

25. He is obviously filled with the Spirit of the Holy Trump.

Or maybe he's just filled with spirits.

Or maybe he's just a garden-variety loon, looking for free bed and board for the next ten years.

[Blue_Tires]

26. God, I love seeing Trumper tantrums when they actually face the consequences of their actions

[RockRaven]

27. Judges are very tolerant of, and not at all negatively influenced by, such behavior...

[MustBeTheBooz]

28. Oh...So he's an asshole. Quell surprise. K/R N/T

[RegularJam]

30. Hold him in contempt, set another hearing in two weeks, and let him think about it. nt

[11 Bravo]

37. Pretend he's black, and give that jackass the full Bobby Seale treatment.

For those who don't remember, that would be bound, gagged, and chained to a fucking chair.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

41. Yet another entitled

Narcissist/ sociopath
Piece of shit acting out to get attention.

Wish he'd get the death penalty. That would shut him up forever.

Being a crazy asshole won't get this bozo off the hook.
