This is not exactly the same thing as the death of Ashli Babbitt. Suicide is a choice and it is a choice no one should ever make.
But the man would not have committed suicide if it were not for the persecution by the Liz Cheney Sanhedrin.
A Lycoming County man awaiting sentencing for illegally entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has died.
The death Wednesday of Mark R. Aungst, 47, of South Williamsport, was ruled a suicide, Coroner Charles E. Kiessling Jr. said.
Aungst pleaded guilty June 27 in District of Columbia federal court to a charge of demonstrating or parading in a restricted building. His sentencing was scheduled for Sept. 27 before Judge Reggie B. Walton. He could have been sentenced up to six months in prison and fined $5,000.
Aungst and co-defendant Tammy A. Bronsburg, who pleaded guilty to the same charge, traveled by bus to Washington on Jan. 6, 2021 for President Trump’s “stop the steal” rally. They then joined others and marched to the Capitol.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mona Furst said the prosecution had evidence showing Aungst and Bronsburg entering the Capitol through the Senate fire door by the parliamentarian’s office approximately 2:45 p.m. and leaving 30 seconds later. Twenty minutes later they re-entered the building through the Senate wing door, and took photos and videos on their cell phones as they walked through the Capitol and into Senate Room 145.
Bronsburg later posted a video she took in the Capitol on Facebook and when Aungst returned to the bus he showed others his pictures, said Furst.
Neither assaulted a police officer nor stole or damaged government property, the prosecutor had said at a previous court proceeding.
Aungst, a gas field well service technician, is survived by his mother, a daughter and three siblings.
Survived by a mother and a daughter. That is rough.
I wonder how much media coverage this will get in comparison with the media coverage that the completely fake event of Brian Sicknick getting beaten to death with a fire extinguisher got?
There is so much to talk about, it is hard to know where to focus my attention – but imagine that the media completely fabricated the story of that cop getting beaten to death with a fire extinguisher. It literally did not happen. And that’s not something that is an accident. Someone had to have purposefully made that story up, and every media outlet that covered it had to have purposefully failed to verify it.
That is the most egregious possible type of fake news – just making something up, outright, on purpose, and not even hiding it behind “sources say.”
There is all kinds of fake news that is spread, primarily by the New York Times, using fake sources. That is just totally common practice. But it can’t ever be proved (at least not without subpoena power, and even then, they can say they got it on Signal with self-deleting messages). So although fake “sources say” news is often or usually completely falsified whole cloth, there is no way to prove that the source wasn’t just wrong.
With Sicknick being beaten to death with a fire extinguisher, someone could figure out the origin of this claim, and prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that someone – either in the government or the media – made it up outright. Some person had to think that story up, and then purposefully spread it, knowing that it would eventually be proved false when his family came out and complained about them lying about the death of their loved one.
No Justification for Suicide – BUT
People make decisions. Individuals have to be held responsible for their individual decisions. I feel very strongly about this, and I’m tired of people claiming “I’m really messed up because of my childhood so I can’t fix my life.” Everyone’s life is their own responsibility, period. And things are tough all over.
That said – that having been said – you can absolutely say “this person was driven to suicide.” The phrasing of that could be better, such as “this person was put in a position where he decided suicide was his best option.”
I don’t think sodomy is justifiable. But you can say, in probably almost every case, “this person developed a sexual attraction to men because they were molested as a child.”
There is no totally defined either/or when it comes to human decisions. You have to always, no matter what, say “this person made the decision and he is responsible for the decision.” But at the same time, saying “he wouldn’t have made this decision if it was not for external factors” can also be 100% true.
The only time that taking one’s own life is justifiable is either when you are doing it to protect someone else, or to kill enemies. That is:
- Jumping in front of a bullet to save someone, or
- Pulling the pin on a grenade when the enemy has you surrounded and you’re going to take them out with you
Both of those are split-second decisions. I would argue against Islamic suicide bombings or Japanese kamikaze flights.
I would also argue against that French guy who went into the Notre-Dame cathedral and shot himself in the head in protest of gay marriage. Though I also think that was awesome, and the saints and angels would have to deliberate on the fate of his soul.
I’m probably not against euthanasia in the case of terminal illness. But I don’t have a hard opinion on that. I do have a hard opinion that the state shouldn’t be allowed to decide, or to cooperate. (However, in most cases, that isn’t suicide, and is a decision made to “pull the plug” while the individual is unconscious.)
It’s important to me to say all of this, because there’s a certainty that someone reading this right now is going to be put in a position where they are considering suicide because of something the government is doing to them. It’s never okay.
That said: Liz Cheney and the Department of Justice do hold responsibility for this man’s death, and the family should sue the government, and Liz Cheney personally.
Obviously, this man wasn’t being prosecuted by Liz Cheney, but the Liz Cheney Sanhedrin is the reason that the DOJ is able to get away with giving these people insane sentences for trespassing and “interrupting the Congress.”
David Hogg recently interrupted the Congress.
The guns in Parkland, Buffalo, El Paso, didn't come from Mexico. They came from the US, and the shooters were inspired by racist, anti-black, anti-immigrant manifestos that rhyme with GOP talking points. pic.twitter.com/0D4QbHvu1t

That was a Senate hearing he rushed into. At time of writing, he’s not being charged with anything.
Then you recently had all charges dropped against a team from the Stephen Colbert (Coal-Bert – he is Irish, not French) Show trespassing in Congress.
Colbert Crew charges dropped who were doing exact same thing as J6 hostages. DISGUSTING. Free the J6 hostages. Colbert makes me ill.

If it was not for the media hysteria, which is being justified by the Liz Cheney Sanhedrin, there is no possible way the DOJ could get away with viciously persecuting the 1/6 protesters and driving them to suicide.
This is in a lot of ways much more ridiculous than the “show trials” of the USSR, because the USSR was not putting up a pretense about what was going on. Openly calling people “enemies of the revolution” is a morbillion times more honest than hoaxing an insurrection.
Also: what about AOC admitting the cops let them in?

Imagine: the media didn’t even cover that.
She said it was an inside job and the police opened the doors.
No one can get into the Congress unless they want to let you in. It would be like robbing a bank. They have thick steel magnetic barriers they can use to close every door and window.
And what about those fake pipe bombs?
This is all just completely absurd, but is it even worth saying that when we have child trannies?
