A 72-year-old AL man is asking a judge to show mercy on him for his role in the Jan. 6 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol. Molotov cocktails and loaded guns were found in his truck that day, but he says he was just looking for the truth of the 2020 election.

“When I realized just how unrealistic it was for me to think I could get close enough to anyone who would even listen to me, I walked around on the outskirts of the event briefly, then left and started back to where my vehicle was parked.”Coffman lived in Falkville up until his arrest, which was just hours after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

Surveillance footage showed he parked the truck near the Republican National Club, a few blocks from the Democratic National Committee Headquarters, both targeted for reports of explosive devices, about 9:20 a.m. that Wednesday. “At my age, one of the most precious things we possess is time, and I have wasted almost a whole precious year,’’ he wrote. “I suppose it hasn’t been a total waste. I learned a very important lesson about traveling with firearms and certain other items that I should not have had.”

That's easy don't listen to Trump or his supporters

something tells me he wasn’t going to show mercy to whoever he was gonna target with those cocktails!

Lonny Coffman should get the same sentence that a twenty-year-old Black man would get if convicted of the same offenses.

Throw the book at him. They knew what they were trying to do.

This was an act to injure and to kill innocent people but this man, now being capture, asked for mercy, but only because he was caught.

Throw the book at him!!

Nope - no mercy.

Looks like he fck*d around & found out.

No way!!!

NO MERCY!

Looking trouble not the truth. 72 years old or not a thug is a thug.

Pffft, he is definitely old enough to know better. Let him die in prison.

10-20 minimum. They know the truth but insist on lying. Add another 5 for that and let him rot.

We still don’t have it.. let him slide

linda3_4 Mercy for treason? Hardly.

Why should he get any leniency at all

If your looking for the truth you don't take lethal weapons!

No.

🤦‍♂️

The Lord will give him the judgment he deserves. He could be getting some of his judgment right now: health problems, family problems, etc...

He equipped himself to kill many, many people. That’s not how you find “truth.” It’s how you commit mass murder. His age is not a mitigating factor. I’m his age and really don’t think I should be able to violate the law because I’m older.

Nope. Don't you have anything else to post? Anything?

I know the first thing I pick up when I want to do research is a firearm. I went to the library, hoping to find some information on Alabama cryptids, with my AK and 300 rounds of ammo.

Can’t wait till BML go on trial for burning the govt building in Seattle

Lock. His. Ass. Up. For a long time. Don’t care how old he is.
