    *An Indiana man convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 with his mother has reportedly applied for asylum in Canada — and is already living there, apparently — after failing to report to prison over the summer to serve his sentence.*

    *Antony Vo, a former Bloomington resident, was supposed to spend nine months behind bars after being found guilty of multiple charges last year, including entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, violent entry or disorderly conduct in a Capitol building or grounds and parading, and demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.*

    *But he went to Canada instead, according to the CW affiliate WISH.*

    *[…] According to WISH, he’s currently living across the northern border with his mother — who got hit with federal charges in August for her alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 riots — as they seek refugee status.*

    *Vo’s application for asylum describes his conviction as being part of a government conspiracy and “purely political persecution,” WISH reports. He told the outlet this week that he wants to use his proposed refugee status to stand up for his rights.*

    It’s funny how all these assholes would instantly have bashed Canada for being a land of overflowing liberal woke, but all of a sudden when they got in trouble it’s all “sAvE mE frOM thE oPPResSION! i nEEd poLiticAL asYlUm!”

    Are you kidding me, Antony Vo? Running to Canada to dodge a nine-month prison sentence after storming the U.S. Capitol, and then claiming political persecution? This isn’t a Netflix drama; it’s real life. Let’s break down the absurdity here.

    First off, you got convicted because you entered a restricted federal building, engaged in disorderly conduct, and paraded through the Capitol like it was your own personal playground. Actions have consequences. That’s not political persecution; it’s the justice system doing its job.

    Second, claiming you were “entrapped” or that the police were “letting you in” is the weakest excuse in the book. The footage and testimonies from that day tell a very different story. The chaos, the violence, the vandalism—don’t pretend this was some peaceful kumbaya moment. You weren’t “exercising your constitutional rights”; you were participating in an assault on democracy.

    And let’s talk about your “asylum” claim in Canada. Seriously? Canada isn’t your escape hatch because you don’t feel like owning up to your actions. The asylum system exists for people fleeing actual persecution—people who face imprisonment, torture, or death in authoritarian regimes. You’re running from a fair trial and a light sentence in one of the world’s most democratic nations. The sheer entitlement is staggering.

    Oh, and this fantasy that Trump is going to swoop in and pardon you? Delusional. Wehn he does return to office, do you honestly think he cares enough to waste political capital on you? You’re just another name on a long list of people he barely acknowledges.

    The fact that you’re dragging your mother into this mess too—wow. She’s now facing charges, and instead of taking responsibility and helping her, you’re hiding out and using her as a prop in your self-serving narrative.

    So no, Antony, you’re not some noble freedom fighter. You’re a convicted criminal avoiding accountability while misusing a system designed for people in genuine peril. I hope Canadian authorities see right through this nonsense and send you right back to serve your time. Because if you’re so big on “standing up for your rights,” maybe you should start by standing up for the consequences of your own actions.

    Oh yay, another foreign trouble-maker looking for asylum. Just what we need!

  6. I just looked him up on twitter – he is celebrating the fact he received a notice of receipt – ie we got your nonsense paperwork and we will deal with this thru the proper procedure letter. He seems genuinely delusional.

    Wow: a Trump cult member seeking asylum in the 51st state! How is that gonna work? By the way I apologize to each and every Canadian I have known or ever will know, friends, family, acquaintances and total strangers…

    Refugee status? From *legal* prosecution against you for … breaking the law? And for a few months, it’s not like you’re headed to the electric chair
    GTFO

    Send him back then. We don’t need people that turn on their government here.

  12. Difficult-Dish-23 on

    Is this shithead also going to be out up in a fancy hotel for a few years while they “review his claim”?

    You can’t apply for political asylum from the states.

    **we have a fucking extradition treaty with America**

    Sure we’ll let you in, but if America asks for you back we’ll send you gift wrapped with a nice little bow no hesitation. It’s the only country on the planet we don’t accept terrorists from.
