J6 Rioter Gets 57 Months For Beating Cop With Baton

June 16, 2023 Extremists, Trump cultists

From the Justice Department:

A Florida man was sentenced today for a felony charge for his actions during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. His actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the 2020 presidential election.

Mason Joel Courson, 27, of Tamarac, Florida, was sentenced to 57 months in prison for assaulting, resisting, or impeding a law enforcement officer with a dangerous weapon.

Courson pleaded guilty on Nov. 30, 2022, in the District of Columbia. In addition to the prison term, U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras ordered 36 months of supervised release, and restitution of $2,000.

During the violence, at approximately 4:27 p.m., another rioter, Jack Wade Whitton, climbed over a railing and began striking an officer with a crutch, also kicking him.

Whitton then grabbed the officer and, along with Logan Barnhart and another rioter, dragged the officer down the steps and into the crowd. Courson, who was at the bottom of the steps, beat the officer with a police baton, as other rioters struck him with other objects. The officer sustained physical injuries, including bruising and abrasions.

Courson is among a group of nine defendants named in an indictment in this case that was returned in the District of Columbia. Justin Jersey, Jack Wade Whitton, Logan James Barnhart, and Peter Francis Stager have all previously pleaded guilty in this matter.

From Coulson’s GiveSendGo money beg:



At only 27, after being denied bond, Mason has found himself languishing behind bars since December 14, 2021 in horrific conditions. The government has yet to produce any evidence supporting their charges against him.

The biased media has repeatedly and inaccurately portrayed the details of his arrest and circumstances regarding the charges against him. Due to their lies and defamation of his character Mason has had his life threatened and suffered terrible treatment inside Northern Neck Regional Jail, in which he spent almost a year.

Despite this horrific situation Mason remains a firm believer in God and his Christian values. His love for his country and fellow patriots does not falter.

He is strong and positive but does need as much support as possible. Prayers, letters, and donations are greatly appreciated. Mason has lost everything financially including his ability to support his son and contribute to his family.

Thank you for reading about him and sharing his story. Most of all thank you for believing in men like Mason who went to DC with all the right intentions, whose lives have been destroyed because they wanted to support their president that one historical day. God bless.
