January 6th Rioter Committed Suicide
About 40 to 5o of the people that have been arrested for the January 6th riot that happened at the Capital almost 2 years ago are STILL being held in Washington DC.
Some of them haven't even been charged with anything yet!
They are being held without having the option for bail. In solitary confinement. None of them have a charge worse than trespassing and they are being denied regular rights like medical treatment and not being shown the evidence being used against them.
One man named Matt Perna who was just 37 years old committed suicide last week. His family said that he died from a broken heart.
He had pleaded guilty after the riot even though he didn't break in or cause any damage or commit any acts of violence. The police in front of the Capital had ushered him in even!
But since then his court dates kept getting pushed to further dates on top of all the mistreatment he endured while being locked up just broke his spirit to the point of killing himself.
There are still others waiting in the same or similar situations from that same riot. And the big news medias are hardly touching their stories either.
Here are a few though -
Both sources mention the suicide but the 2nd one from The Hill goes into more details about Matt's story.
