Judge to US Capitol rioter: 'You've disgraced this country in the eyes of the world'
CNN
A federal judge erupted at a Capitol riot defendant as he pleaded guilty on Friday, chastising him for participating in an "attack on our government" and warning him to stay on the "straight and narrow"
"You've disgraced this country in the eyes of the world, and my inclination is to lock you up," Judge Reggie B. Walton said to defendant Anthony Mariotto, who pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor charge moments before. "I found it outrageous that American citizens would do what you did."
"To see someone destroy, or try to destroy, the Capitol is very troubling to me," Walton added.
