He's a criminal, Belarus can have him.
Capitol riot suspect who fled to Belarus granted asylum, state media says
A man on the FBIs wanted list for his alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot has been granted asylum in Belarus, the countrys state media reported Tuesday.
. . .
In a video posted by state-owned television network BelTA on Tuesday, Neumann is pictured signing a migration document and shaking hands with a police official, who, according to English subtitles posted with the video, says: Now you are completely under the protection of the Republic of Belarus.
. . .
Neumann was identified from the body-cam footage by an anonymous tipster identifying themselves as a family friend, according to the criminal complaint. Investigators also compared the footage to a 2018 TV news report in San Francisco on his arrest for violating orders not to enter a disaster area after a wildfire. Neumann was interviewed during the report.

From an earlier thread from November 2021: [link:https://upload.democraticunderground.com/100216077027|
At approximately 1:45 pm, NEUMANN removes his gas mask and begins speaking directly at the line of officers, including J.M. NEUMANN says that J.M is defending the people who are going to kill your fucking children . . . they are gonna kill your fucking children, they are gonna rape them, they are gonna imprison them, and youre defending the people that are going to do this to your children. NEUMANN then continues to verbally abuse J.M and the other officers. NEUMANN also refuses orders by police to move away from the barricade, telling the officers no, you cant tell me what to do, you piece of shit.

Hell is a cell built of bars of one's own making; forged and mortared by one's desires, choices, prejudices and bad habits.
Ignorance is not the lack of knowledge.
Ignorance is the evidence of bad decisions.
