Judge apologises to Trump’s attempted assassin

ABC reports:

U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui held a hearing Monday afternoon to discuss the treatment of suspect Cole Tomas Allen, after stating in a court order he has “grave concerns” about Allen’s treatment, which he described as seemingly unprompted solitary confinement over several days.

The judge apologized at the beginning and the end of the hearing in response to Allen being held in the safe cell, which he said was tantamount to solitary confinement. 

So the guy tries to kill the President, and the Judge apologises to him because he has been in solitary confinement.

Politico reports:

Faruqui, who played a role in hundreds of cases stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, said Allen was being treated more harshly than those defendants, despite similar allegations of political violence aimed at members of Congress and government leaders. 

This is an idiotic comparison. The January 6 defendants basically barged their way into a building without permission. What they did was wrong, but you can’t compare that to a guy who tries to charge past the Secret Service with a shotgun so he can shoot the President.
