"Jan. 6 Defendant Detained for Approaching Obama Neighborhood with Guns"

A federal magistrate judge has ordered the pretrial detention of Taylor Taranto, a Jan. 6 defendant who approached former President Barack Obama's neighborhood with firearms and ammunition. Taranto, who faces misdemeanor charges related to his participation in the Jan. 6 mob, was deemed too dangerous to be released. The judge criticized the lack of support for military veterans like Taranto and expressed frustration with the absence of accountability for elected officials who spread conspiracy theories. Taranto's attorney argued that his political views were protected by the First Amendment, but the judge expressed concern over his livestreamed threats and the potential for catastrophic consequences. Taranto is likely to appeal the decision.
