On Tuesday, Jan. 19, Mark G. Sahady, 46, of Malden, was arrested and charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, the Department of Justice said.
Sahady’s alleged participation was discovered in photos of the Jan. 6 siege posted online by Sahady’s own group, “Super Happy Fun America.” On that day a pro-Trump mob tried to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s presidency - 5 people died in the mayhem.
In August 2019, Sahady’s group threw a “straight pride” parade in Boston to celebrate heterosexual culture and parrot annual gay pride parades. The event attracted 100-200 people and twice as many counterprotesters, according to Newsweek.
The charge of entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority provides for a sentence of up to one year in prison, one year of supervised release, and a fine of up to $100,000, the Department of Justice said. The charge of disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds provides for a sentence of up to six months in prison, one year of supervised release, and a fine of up to $5,000.
