“Mr. Chrestman was receiving disability and [being] treated by the Veterans’ Administration,” attorney Peter Cooper wrote. “His current detention status places him in danger of losing those significant benefits.” But a response filed by DOJ prosecutors contends that Chrestman’s alleged back issues didn’t stop him from wielding the axe handle he swung at police at the Capitol.

“Interestingly, the defendant’s back pain did not prevent him from storming the United States Capitol while armed with an axe handle, threatening law enforcement officers, and attempting to prevent Congressional proceedings, among other conduct,” Justice Department lawyers wrote, adding that he took an “active role in leading the co-defendants in his conspiracy and the crowd writ large in the attack on the Capitol.”

1. Let him rot where he is.

The snowflake should have thought about the consequences BEFORE he decided to be a traitor.

2. Pull that wagon riding welfare cheats benes

Get a job asshole

Yup

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Actions have consequences, jackass. On your knees with your bad back begging for those...

benefits to be restored.

The VA should have its own special hell for beneficiaries who dare to be in an insurrection.

4. He really stepped on his d**k. NT

7. Unfortunately, weenie sprains aren't covered.

Maybe he should try prayer. Just send a "love offering" to Mar-a-Lago. Emperor-God Donald will get right on it.

9. Yes! I read a little more on this fool. He has 6 kids. Really brainwashed.

10. Thoughts and prayers to him.

5. Taking benefits while trying to overthrow our government

That same government, funded by taxpayers for his back pain. He is a collective pain in our ass. No more benefits. No sympathy. No get out of jail. Rot there is my view, also.

6. Quite Rich

Guy on disability hates our current form of government so much he violently participates in an attempted coup.
Guy on disability!
Now he wants special favors because of his back pain.
My wife (not on disability, but retired) has chronic back pain from bilateral stenosis.
Know where she was on January 6? At home. This criminal moron should have stayed home.
Simple solution. No loss in disability, no prison, no felony record.
He just had to keep his dumb ass home!
He went 1,200 miles looking for trouble. He found it. Good!

8. And had he been a union guy I wonder?

an injury Chrestman suffered in 2010 while employed as a sheet metal worker resulted in “long-term chronic back pain.”

——
I guess not necessarily. But he would have earned more if he were, I just read (25% more on average it said).

15. He Didn't Look Disabled To Me When He Was Swinging That Axe Handle nt

[ProfessorGAC]

17. My Wife Couldn't Do That

The hip twist would buckle her knees!
But, given our experience, I'm reluctant to doubt anybody with back problems.
Also, our experience says gaming the system is really, really hard.
His back might just prevent him for doing what he did for a living.
Disability doesn't require someone to consider a career change because of injury or chronic problems.
If it's provable that one cannot do what they did for a job, one qualifies.
Not that I'm defending this tool.
He could be legitimately disabled from sheet metal work. He's still a criminal.

11. take away his bunk and let him sleep on the floor......

A hard surface will be better for his back.

He's welcome.

12. Those damn videos!

They're always getting in the way of the insurgents' lies that they weren't there or they were peaceful or that -- in this case -- the disability they had before (but not during) the riot has suddenly reappeared. Life was so much better for these yoyos when no one could call them out on their lies.

[louis-t]

13. He's gets treatment from the Socialist VA?

Sorry pilgrim, blue lives matter.

[onethatcares]

14. 6 kids while on disability

leaves me wondering if he wrote screeds about welfare queens with 5 kids collecting SNAP and driving cadillacs.

[ashredux]

16. Back pain? LOL...LOL..LOL....FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!

[YDogg]

18. Fuck that son of a bitch.

Sorry, not sorry.

[Botany]

19. Back Pain?

Well, it didn't stop him from carrying an ax handle to beat people on 1/6/21.
