Capitol Rioter Asks Judge if He Can Fight His Prison Guards

“A suspect in the January 6 Capitol riot accused of assaulting several officers in the attack asked a federal judge for permission to defend himself against prison guards at a status hearing for his case,” Newsweek reports.

“Josiah Kenyon asked Judge Carl Nichols to acknowledge that he has the right to defend himself if corrections officers try to assault him.”

Before his comment, Nichols warned Kenyon to consult with his attorney first before speaking, but Kenyon shot back: “I have a high enough IQ range to not screw up there, boss.”
