Famed Painter's Son From Athol, Who Said Jan. 6 Riots Were 'Fun', Found Guilty Of Ramming Cop With Shield During Attack

Submitted by HoldenGambles t3_zwo0nw in WorcesterMA

Vincent Gillespie was found guilty earlier this month of several charges stemming from the Jan. 6 attacks.

He showed no remorse or attrition for attacking an officer with a riot shield during the fight for the Lower West Terrace tunnel. Jury forewoman said he testified he thought the riots were "fun and enjoyable." He even spoke with an AP reporter during the riots and gave his full name and where he was from.

He turned down a plea deal last month that would have sent him to jail for about 4 years, but now he faces a potentially longer sentence following his conviction.

Edit: His dad is Gregory Gillespie. Forgot to add that

A traitor is due a traitor's punishment. These lowlife ass corpuscles disgust those of us who cherish democracy (such as it is). He should be hanged.

Remember all gun control is racist and any human being belongs in prison who destroys or injures government employees, property, other people. Weather it’s the Jan incident or the 2020 summer of love social justice protests. Have fun with the new Governor..

I prefer a republican governor to be honest to balance the power. Your gun nut bullshit is just weird.

He should go to jail along with the rioters that trespassed and destroyed the federal building/ Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse in Portland, Oregon. Those leftist terrorists belong in prison just as much as this guy. Anyone involved in the capital incident belong in prison

BLM was not a Democrat political conspiracy lololol It was a social justice issue. What about that do you have such a hard time accepting? Thousands were arrested during BLM. Biden denounced the violence. Wtf bruh
