Perna, who was initially charged with misdemeanors, later faced federal obstruction charges. He pleaded guilty, anticipating a sentence of six to twelve months in a federal prison camp. However, a ridiculous "terrorism" enhancement was scheduled to be added during his sentencing, which could have resulted in a significantly longer prison term.
Devastated by the thought of unjustly going to prison for years, Perna hung himself in his garage.
Gage the treatment of those arrested because of the over-inflated January 6th incident, with the behavior of a liberal reactionary judge over the conditions that the WHCD shooter Cole Allen was exposed to for just one week.
Allen, a resident of California, rushed through a security checkpoint armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and knives during a dinner on April 26, which was attended by the president and top administration officials. He faces multiple charges, including attempting to assassinate President Trump.
During the hearing on Monday, Judge Zia M. Faruqui criticized the Department of Corrections (DOC) for its treatment of Allen. Faruqui noted that he has handled numerous cases involving defendants who participated in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and he found Allen's allegations of mistreatment—including being fully restrained with a five-point shackling system—to be more severe than the treatment of those other defendants.
Taking a shot at President Trump, Faruqui said during the hearing, “Pardons may erase convictions, but they do not erase history.”
“He’s been treated differently than anyone I’ve ever observed.”
