Finally, the government has convicted Jan 6th insurrectionist Richard “Bigo” Barnett in prison to begin serving his 4.5 year sentence. He went in on August 1st. Barnett is one of those iconic faces of the insurrection. And if you know Bigo Asshole, Barnett was true to form with his last “Tweet.”
It was more than two years ago that Richard “Bigo” Barnett carried a high-powered stun gun into the nation’s Capitol and posed for a picture in then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office. Now, the Gravette man has traveled south — to a low-security federal prison in Oakdale, La. where he’s to spend the next 4.5 years.
Is he remorseful? Hardly.
In one of his last tweets before he surrendered to federal authorities on Tuesday, Barnett, 63, wrote, “Today Donald Trump officially became a J6er. Welcome to the club Mr. President. #Bigowasherebiatch”
You all may recall that Barnett left a bloody note on then Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desk that basically said, “Bigo was here Biatch.”
Given that Bigo Asshole was an asshole before, during, and after the trial, I’m hoping that the Bureau of Prisons will keep him in prison for at least the minimum 80% of the time. I have my doubts that Bigo Asshole will change his attitude or put on a phony act of contrition or remorse. And that will be a good thing.
I’m thinking about that other iconic Jan 6th insurrectionist Jacob Chansley who lied his ass off to the court and obviously to prison officials to get out of prison early. Chansley is back to being a Qanon follower and “shaman” and leading the good fight. /s.
But Bigo Asshole is too old and mean to put on a BS remorse act. And I am grateful that Barnett will continue with his righteous rage and misogyny. Better honesty than lies is what I say. Enjoy the time in prison you twisted old prick!
