WASHINGTON (AP) — A Maine man who joined rioters at the U.S. Capitol was convicted Tuesday of 11 charges including assaulting, resisting or impeding police officers.

Kyle Fitzsimons, 39, of Lebanon, charged to the front line on Jan. 6, 2021, and assaulted officers including three from the Metropolitan and Capitol Police Departments who testified against him. He also charged the line twice while wildly swinging his fists, prosecutors said.

Fitzsimons faced the most serious charges stemming from the attempt to stop or delay the counting of electoral votes. A widely shared photo captured him with a bloody face on that day.

One of the officers testified Fitzsimons pulled back his gas mask so fellow rioters could attack him with chemical spray. A second officer said she was hit by a bow that prosecutors say Fitzsimons brought from Maine and threw at officers. A third testified Fitzsimons jerked away his shield, damaging his shoulder, necessitating surgery.

9. I hope there is enough room in the jails

They should be sent to different prisons so they cannot conspire together.

[ancianita]

15. No worries. For profit prison corporations always make sure there's always room.

In this particular line of work, rethugs can rightfully claim to be job creators.

[NBachers]

10. This is the face of the republican party.

[TheRickles]

12. It's hard for me to imagine someone genuinely having such a strong emotion, not just acting. Yikes!

[Brainfodder]

18. Harder still for me, that it is all for the grifting clown, his word, his propaganda, no BS detector

Perfect storm with these political IQ challenged wizards?

[edbermac]

19. You left out the best sentence of that article.

“The seven felony charges carry a maximum of penalty of 91 years in prison, prosecutors said.”

[prodigitalson]

21. if stacked consecutively, which is unlikely

he'll probably get the max (or close to it) on the most serious charge with the rest running concurrently.

[rockfordfile]

22. good

[Evolve Dammit]

23. And El Bloato wants to pardon them all... Where the F are we? Joe asked this recently as well.
