Brian Mock (right) and the son A.J. who turned him in
The sentence for the assaults is extremely low. Judge Boasberg seems to be showing signs that the RWNJ pressure and threats might be getting to him!
Sentenced 1) Brian Christopher Mock AKA Brian Mock, currently Wisconsin, formerly of Minneapolis Minnesota, Son turned him in. Kicked Fallen Officer, Shoved Police, Threw Flagpole at Officers, Knocked over a Capitol officer & busted the officer's elbow. Bragged he 'beat the s**t' out of cops. He picked up abandoned police shields and handed them out to others. Wrote on Facebook that he went to D.C. having said "goodbye to my 4 children, not sure I was going to come home." He said he was ashamed of the police for not backing “patriots” like him… who were “there to stand for the cause.” Mock says he fought with the ferocity and righteousness of a thousand angels. The person who sent in the FBI tip said, “He is home bragging.

2) Asking for permission to defend himself. (Which he now is) Has not accepted plea deal. Wrote a 43 page handwritten motion criticizing police and alleging brutality against the Jan 6 mob, interjected in court several times to call himself a "political prisoner." https://twitter.com/MacFarlaneNews/status/1462927470315847683 Calls Biden a puppet candidate… and looks as though he is copying news reports. All caps, no punctuation. https://twitter.com/MacFarlaneNews/status/1471529733540225024
3) "Being held in here, I cannot defend myself" "This place can't even get the food right"... says he can't get access to paper, "I've been locked up for six months... for two pushes" "I'm about to lose my house, my vehicle. I have no way for bringing in money, other than for begging for it" He keeps saying the feds' case is "fraud" In motion, Mock alleges "dereliction of duty" & "insubordination" of Capitol Police … Brian Mock has criminal history. He faced prior arrest (2009) for allegedly directing a gun to the heads of kids ... and confronting a Samaritan who tried to intervene. https://twitter.com/MacFarlaneNews/status/1471529981922664459
4) Brian Mock, who is accused of assaulting police on Jan 6, was released from pretrial jail recently. Per new court filing, police were called to Mock's home within first 72 hours for "domestic disturbance." Mock did the right thing and called it in… but is still living with the parents and brother… and says he is living in the garage to avoid him. https://twitter.com/MacFarlaneNews/status/1536516772295213058
5) The Bench trial of Brian Mock, representing himself, calls to the stand his own son who turned him in to the FBI. Tears ensued, which is likely his reasoning. When the law and truth are not on your side, spew conspiracy theories, blame the police and cry…
Guess who paid for the flight and accommodations of the son to DC? It worked... in that his son is now sorry he turned in his dad. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/jan-6-defendant-representing-questions-son-turned-fbi-rcna90621
6) “Jan. 6 rioter Brian Mock, who repeatedly assaulted officers on Jan. 6, told a judge that there should be “accountability” for politicians who made false claims about the 2020 election.” Beating up cops because tRUMP and Giuliani said the election was stolen is still left hanging in the air… but he is getting there…
