Guess they’ll immediately call for a ban on ink pens. 😜
I like the cut of this criminals jib. I wish more had it.
Great idea, maybe it will catch on.
Like that Tide pod thing.
No repeat offender there.
You have to admit, The guy did us all a favor.
Sounds like a much needed new movement in the horizon 👍 save tax payers money and take your worthless life!
More likable dead than alive I reckon. His last deed was his best?
Good thing the FBI is investigating.
Sounds like court security personal will take it in the butt for their lack of diligence. Atleast taxpayers are only stuck for his disposal.
I hope this catches on......just think of the money he saved tax payers.
Slashing costs to the taxpayers..........

Not to mention the courthouse cleanup.
Good thing the FBI is investigating.
Of course they are. Biden lost a voter.

Federal courthouse. No one else has jurisdiction I believe.
Article says the court officers attempted life-saving efforts. It would be funny if one of those efforts was a tourniquet!
Slashing costs to the taxpayers..........
... with one stroke of a pen.
Carried out his own sentence.
Maybe he was truly innocent and couldn't bear the thought of going to prison?
Those Fox links never open for me.

I doubt it!
He’ll vote Democrat forever now!
I like that everybody assumes the dude really was guilty.
"The pen is mightier than the sword."
Got some liebturd dimocommies on the fire could do the world a favor likewise. They prefer being a locust thorn on this site and nations side.

They probably tried the beloved first aid method, CPR. CPR is BS 99 percent of the time and it never works for trauma cases where the patient has lost half of the blood in his body. I bet those court officers were a bloody mess doing CPR on that dead body.
No evidence whatsoever as to what the charges were or what the sentence was. Some are saying the guy had no criminal record but no confirmation. If he was a career criminal and belonged to the right racial demographic, coverage would be more thorough if not more accurate. GD
You know the verdict ain't favorable when the judge wants the defendant moved to the drop cloth before its announced.

My department is pushing the “render aid” thing real hard. We do training every 6 months on trauma care. We do scenarios that usually require the bad guy to get shot and there being bystanders, etc etc. I “shot” the dummy in the head during the scenario and the instructor told me to render aid. So, I wrapped a tourniquet around the neck and pulled it tight.
If they would just license and register such implements it would be physically impossible for such incidents to occur.

it may have been a liberal kangaroo court..
fargo is about as close as you can get to Minneapolis while remaining in a free state.
Townhall says "he was found guilty on terrorizing-related charges"
also: "reckless endangerment and assault for repeatedly running someone over with a vehicle."
it seems that he was acquitted of this though.
Seven years in Leavenworth for brandishing a firearm at a teen ager? Seems a little excessive to me.

Turtle Mountain Descendant Dies by Suicide After Guilty Verdict in Federal Court
BY DARREN THOMPSON MAY 17, 2021
FARGO, N.D. — Minutes after a jury returned a partial guilty verdict for an incident that happened two years ago on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in north central North Dakota, the convicted man died by apparent suicide on Monday, May 17. The jury had just been escorted out of the courtroom.
Jeffrey Sahl Ferris, 54, of Belcourt, N.D., was not identified initially, but his case was the only one scheduled in the Quentin N. Burdick U.S. Courthouse in Fargo.
According to the United States Marshals Service, Ferris slit his throat with an object that appeared to be a pen or a plastic shank. Sources speaking to Native News Online on condition on anonymity confirmed that Ferris grabbed an envelope opener after U.S. District Judge Peter Welte denied Ferris’s request to be released for 24 hours before returning to jail.
Ferris was initially charged with terrorizing in the Rolette County District Court in May 2020 for the 2019 incident, but his case was dismissed. He was then later charged faced federal charges for which he was convicted by the jury today.
Judge Welte presided over Ferris’ trial, in which Ferris was found guilty of the use of a firearm in the presence of a minor.
The incident that led to Ferris being charged began with him chasing several youth near an abandoned house in the proximity of his home. He chased them away with his vehicle at high rates of speed, all while in possession of a 9mm handgun.
While Ferris pursued the youth, one minor crashed on a dirt bike. Ferris got out of his vehicle, pointed his firearm at the youth while the youth was still on the ground and threatened to kill if the youth ever came near the location again.
Ferris was a former emergency medical technician (EMT) for the Belcourt community of Turtle Mountain. He was not an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, but was a descendant.
According to several people familiar with the case, Ferris was facing a minimum of seven years for the use of a firearm in the presence of a minor. All of the victims of the case are minors and their identities are protected by law.
More information on the incident will become available on Tuesday, May 18.

Yes that is interesting. Initially he was rung up on state charges by the local sheriff. State charges were dropped and he was then hit with federal charges. I wonder why that happened.
More severe punishment under Federal charges vs State charges?
Happy ending, family sues, gets rich!
Pretty messed up that he got charged for protecting property.
Good thing the FBI is investigating.
Of course they are. Biden lost a voter.
