Taake had been on pretrial release for a pending child-solicitation case in Texas when he went to the Capitol ready for violence

Court documents show that Taake portrayed himself to his would-be paramour as little more than an innocent bystander. “Safe to say I was the very first person to be sprayed that day … all while just standing there,” he added.

When he was arrested on Jan. 2021, the FBI recovered three loaded guns from Taake’s residence even though he was barred from having them due to his status as a felon, authorities said.

They said that based on reports from his pretrial detention, he has “taken to using violence against other inmates to relieve his frustrations with his self-inflicted predicament.”

The party of law & order. The party of personal responsibility.

Taake had been on pretrial release for a pending child-solicitation case in Texas

Yet another person who QAnon thinks were going to help them "save the children."

A sentencing hearing broke down this week over a disagreement about a sentencing enhancement for a self-employed handyman from Texas who admitted to using a metal whip and unloading a can of bear spray on officers during the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Taake had been on pretrial release for a pending child-solicitation case in Texas when he went to the Capitol ready for violence, armed with bear spray and a metal whip, prosecutors said.

Only the best people.

Taake had been on pretrial release for a pending child-solicitation case in Texas when he went to the Capitol ready for violence, armed with bear spray and a metal whip, prosecutors said. He sprayed officers trying to hold the line with “bear-attack repellent spray” four times. He attacked an officer with a metal whip and threw a water bottle at the police line before scaling a wall, authorities said. He entered the Capitol through the Senate Wing Door soon after its initial breach and wandered around the building for 20 minutes, brandishing his metal whip, prosecutors said.

Dude is a real winner.

Jan 6th aside, The Dude works in people's homes, and there's at least enough evidence to change him with solicitation of a child.

Everybody has the right of innocent until proven guilty, but surely scary for any of his clients. Hope none of them have kids in the house.

The “haywire” has nothing to do with the solicitation.

The judge decided to tack on a modifier to increase the sentencing. It should be noted that a metal whip is a short length of a heavy twisted steel cable.

It’s not exceptionally flexible- but it’s flexible enough you can preload it and that it’ll also hit across more of its length than a baton.

Son, you got troubles.

I haven't read the article yet but judging from the comments, the term 'haywire' isn't just a devestating metal whip pun.
