A veteran who wore a gas mask when he broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6 now says he has regrets

A military vet who wore a gas mask when he broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021—and later posted a photo from the riot captioned “lol”—has told a court that he feels deeply ashamed of what happened.reports Jon Walden, 48, begged for leniency ahead of his sentencing in federal court Wednesday. “If I could take it all back, I would,” Walden told the judge. “I didn’t see a lot [of] what I saw on TV when I was there.

It was a terrible day, and I’m really ashamed of myself that I was a part of that... I wish I hadn’t been there, and I’m sorry that I did that.” Nevertheless, Walden was sentenced to 30 days of home detention, three years’ probation, and 60 hours of community service after he pleaded guilty to parading inside the Capitol building.

Oh well.

He's lying. He's just sorry he was caught

Too bad. LOL.

This guy is lying; he is not ashamed

Yeah he doesn’t want jail time!
