Marine Corps veteran sprayed in face during Capitol riot dies
Washington Examiner ^ | 27 September 2021 | Tori Richards, Investigative Reporter

A Marine Corps veteran who vigorously fought charges against him in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot has died of undisclosed reasons in a Florida hospital.

John Steven Anderson, 61, died Tuesday in Jacksonville while awaiting trial on seven counts, including civil disobedience and “assaulting, resisting or impeding” police. Anderson was not among the group of protesters who have been detained for more than six months and allege beatings and brutality in jail....

...Sixteen media organizations sided with Medvin in federal court, demanding the judge to order the release of a 30-second video that shows Anderson’s interaction with police. Prosecutors had withheld the clip from public dissemination, arguing it was “highly sensitive.” The clip was ordered to be released on July 29.

Photos from the clip show Anderson being pushed along with the crowd but not assaulting anyone. At one point, he held a police shield, which he said protesters passed along the tunnel. The brief time he held the shield prompted some of the charges, Medvin said.

Shortly before his death, prosecutors asked Anderson to plead guilty to a single felony with a maximum of five years in prison...

Satan’s children are running our government straight into the ground, and I sense they are joyful at this news.

May they all get everything they have coming from Almighty God.

This is insane.

Now the guy is dead. Circumstances of death not disclosed. My guess is suicide having had his life destroyed by the jackboot Feds with their overcharging.

Overcharge Trump supporters, refuse to charge Trump haters. Sounds legit.

Took your comment to be in response to the DEATH of this Patriot Marine. Pardon would be a tad late.

Oh okay, that makes sense. I agree with you there.

No, I’m talking about the guy in the brig vs Milley walking
around in pubic.

Take care.

I can see why you responded that way now.

I apologize for posting it to your comment.

I meant to post it to a comment about the guy that was tossed
in the brig, and made a mistake directing it at that post.

I respect the guy that died, and I wish I hadn’t done that
by accident.

I honestly thought that you were hoping for a posthumous pardon - which is completely sensible.

A posthumous pardon would be a public declaration that this man did no wrong, and that he died an innocent man.

The possibility of that taking place appeals to me also, and
to be honest it didn’t occur to me at first, but it does fit.

Thanks for mentioning that.

I’d like to see that done.

I’d like to have Trump come in and absolutely clean house of
these tripe charges of all of them.

That being said, if some folks did actually dust up with the
officers in the House physically, there might be some
justified charges.

For the most part, I think they’re playing a very dangerous
form of bogus political pay-back here.

It’s uncalled for, and the FBI damn well knows it.

ANTIFA broke in, and they don’t even address that. Officers
later on invited people in. Those that went in then should
have no charges brought against them.

This is fraud on a grand scale.
