It's super happy fun time for democracy as one of our local white-nationalist organizers is convicted for his role in the failed Jan. 6 putsch

Sahady probably not as happy as he was Jan. 6 on the Capitol grounds with fellow failed insurrectionist Sue Ianni of Natick.
A federal judge yesterday found Mark Sahady, who helped organize bus rides for fellow white supremacists and homophobes to Washington, DC on Jan. 5, guilty of four crimes related to his stomping through the Capitol the following day.
DC federal Judge Carl Nichols set sentencing for the Malden man for Nov. 20 on counts of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, court records show. Nichols found Sahady not guilty on ten other counts related to his participation in the activities on Jan. 6. Sahady had asked to be tried before a judge rather than a jury.
Nichols ruled that Sahady, who had spent most of his time awaiting trial in Massachusetts, could remain free on personal recognizance at least until his sentencing.
Before 1/6, the Army veteran kept busy with his groups, including one called Super Happy Fun America, organizing things such as a Boston Common protest a week after the Charlottesville riots and a straight-pride march down Boylston and Tremont streets. He has said he is not a Nazi and he didn't want Nazis to show up at his events, but they just keep doing so.
He organized buses from here to DC on Jan. 5, along with fellow "Super Happy Fun" organizer Sue Ianni of Natick. The two were photographed traipsing around the Capitol after the mob broke in. Prosecutors charge Sahady also spent part of his time in a paroxysm of joy, screaming "YEAH! FUCK YEAH! FUCK YEAH! PATRIOTS YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!"
Ianni was sentenced to 15 days in prison in December, 2022.
Other Massachusetts y'all quedaists have also been convicted for their activities in Washington, most recently former Boston cop Joseph Fisher, who got 20 months for attacking a Capitol police officer with a chair.
Sahady was one of the first local Trump fans to get arrested, just two weeks after Jan. 6, in part due to tips from people who knew him from Twitter, but his trial was repeatedly delayed as he kept switching lawyers.

Top five all-time Onion article
Number one remains "Dog Chastised for Acting Like Dog."
I disagree.
#1 has to be the one about the Special Olympics batting tee. You know the one.
I said "article"
I believe that was a mere headline.

Number one was
the one when Dubya was elected in 2000: "Our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is now over."
And it all came true.
So why do all those Nazis keep showing up?
Lock him up.

Hey might not be allowed out of his basement apartment before his sentencing. No big windows for him.
He's one of the defendants aided by the Supreme Court
One of the original charges against Sahady was obstruction of an official proceeding, a felony. But the Supreme Court upheld a decision by Judge Nichols, the only circuit judge who found this argument persuasive, that that law can only be used when the obstruction involves somehow interfering with documents. The laundry list of misdemeanors charged against Sahady are what the DOJ (weakly) substituted for the felony that was no longer available to them.
I remember his Common rally,
I remember his Common rally, wasn't that the one where you had about two dozen dimwits in the bandshell surrounded by thousands of counterprotesters chanting "Where's your rally?" That was a fun day.
Yep
Racists mill about the Parkman Bandstand for awhile, say nothing, are driven off Common in back of prisoner transport wagons.
And one of the people up on the bandstand was Shiva Ayyadurai with his loudspeaker, but it didn't work.
And then Doc Email sued Marty Walsh over his treatment on the Common and lost, as did this right winger and this one.
Whatever happened to "Pepe the Frog"?
He had a lot of representation at that rally. Don't see much of Pepe anymore.
The whole spectacle reminded me of "Braveheart". The counter-protestors were the Scots and the White Supremacists were the English Army. Good thing the BPD kept the Scots from launching an attack.
Super Happy Fun Times were had by all except the English.
Free on personal recognizance
This tick is getting the kid glove treatment.
