Tuesday was the end of the tale of one of our “favorite” Capitol rioters as DC federal Judge Carl Nichols sentenced North Carolina MAGA asshole Matthew Beddingfield to 38 months in the big house for a single felony count of assaulting officers using a deadly or dangerous weapon during the insurrection – while he was out on bond for attempted murder, NBC News reports.

In 2019 at age 17, Beddingfield was charged with attempted murder after shooting another teenager in the head in Walmart parking lot during a dispute over an unspecified matter which we would feel comfortable betting was drugs because what the hell else would they be doing in a Walmart parking lot. The other teen apparently survived and it was probably a graze wound given that Beddingfield’s bond, initially set at $1 million, was bumped down to $100,000, and he was allowed to plead down to an unspecified lesser charge in August 2021. This of course was seven months after the MAGA insurrection, at which Beddingfield was caught on video outside the Capitol assaulting police, and then identified by Huffington Post reporters just three months later. For whatever reason this never came to the attention of the court in North Carolina prior to Beddingfield’s conviction for which he was only sentenced to probation. It took until February 2022 for the FBI to catch up to him.

Beddingfield laid low enough under pretrial conditions this time, except for that one Saturday night outing at Buffalo Wild Wings with his mom back last May. He won’t have her company in prison, but he’ll probably have better food at least. Pruno’s going to be pricier than the Miller Lite though.
