A man without a single thing on his record, a man who has
served his country his entire adult life, has been in solitary confinement for
over a year and now sits on a prison term of over five years.
My husband, Thomas "TJ" Robertson was an off-duty
law enforcement officer who was present at and entered into the U.S. Capitol on
January 6, 2021 to retrieve his friend from the crowd. He was attempting to do
the right thing from the start. He left all weapons in his car before attending
the protest. TJ has attended several protests which were all peaceful. This include
the protest in Richmond, VA, where thousands gathered and not a
single issue arose. The government has alleged that my husband essentially was
part of some conspiracy to commit riotous (and violent) activity. This is
simply untrue. TJ is not only a proud supporter of peace and protesting, he has
actually attended and secured protests on the opposing political views while on
duty. He believes strongly that every American has a right to voice their
opinion. He does not care where you came from, or what color your skin is. He
has spent his entire life supporting America as a Police Officer and as a
Soldier in the United States Army. That day at the protest TJ did not hurt
anyone or destroy any property. He was just attending peacefully. The
government had one argument, he was carrying a walking stick, a so-called
deadly weapon. He was carrying that walking stick because while overseas he was
blown up, literally. He barely survived, and when he returned to the states it
took over a year before he could even try and get back to normal activity.
With his retirement just a few years away, he was swept into
the system. The very rights he has given so much to protect were taken from
him. He has spent over a year in solitary confinement. He has just
been transferred to a new facility and I am waiting on a phone call
to know he is okay. A man with a heart the size of the moon is sentenced to
years in prison for simply walking into a building to find his friend. I ask
that if you wish to help, please send donation here and not to the jail. He has
been disciplined for having numerous things sent to him. He is the
definition of an American. He stands tall for those who cannot stand, he speaks
for those without a voice, and he now is imprisoned for those actions. THANK
YOU ALL for your love and support.
