Capitol Riot arrests (2 Viewers)

[Bigdaddysaints]

Figured we should start a separate thread on the arrests and those involved in the storming of the Capitol. I know it has been talked about in the other thread a lot, but for the ones who just want to follow the ones arrested and/or charged, this will be an easier way to see updates on the investigations.

Link below is everyone who has been arrested. But we know there will be more.

Clearly he is a Trump-supporting White Nationalist ?

No doubt the FBI will be investigating the Nation of Islam movement ?

I mean...

 

[SystemShock]

He was a Nation of a Islam whack job. At least now we can all agree it’s terrorism.

I disagree. For what I've read the man had severe mental issues.

 

[GMRfellowtraveller]

I disagree. For what I've read the man had severe mental issues.

He seemed to have found NoI through their ‘black self reliance’ teachings
He was trying to develop financial planning for his community
Covid seemed to expose issues that might already have been present and something happened in the last few months that quickly accelerated

If anything this guy seems kin to the Nashville car bomber

 

[Saint by the Bay]

I disagree. For what I've read the man had severe mental issues.

I was being facetious about the insurrection or not debates. He was clearly mentally ill, but since the word Islam is there you know the “not an insurrection” folks that want to delve into the nuance of what an insurrection is will quickly lose all those vast skills of analysis and scream terrorism.

 

[Roofgardener]

Imagine being someone in this thread demanding they end the lockdown of the Capitol because they’re just “exaggerating the threat.”

WEll, they have a point. I don't believe that the Capitol Bulding has been the target of many attacks since .. well.. perhaps 1998 ?

 

[Bigdaddysaints]

Do the threat of attacks count? how many of the Q crazies keep pushing back their crazy conspiracies about Trump taking back the white house? should we just dismiss them like they did before Jan 6th?

Very interesting breakdown of the arrests to date
==================

The Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol by a violent mob at the behest of former president Donald Trump was an act of political violence intended to alter the outcome of a legitimate democratic election. That much was always evident.


What we know 90 days later is that the insurrection was the result of a large, diffuse and new kind of protest movement congealing in the United States.


The Chicago Project on Security and Threats (CPOST), working with court records, has analyzed the demographics and home county characteristics of the 377 Americans, from 250 counties in 44 states, arrested or charged in the Capitol attack.


Those involved are, by and large, older and more professional than right-wing protesters we have surveyed in the past. They typically have no ties to existing right-wing groups. But like earlier protesters, they are 95 percent White and 85 percent male, and many live near and among Biden supporters in blue and purple counties.


The charges have, so far, been generally in proportion to state and county populations as a whole. Only Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Montana appear to have sent more protesters to D.C. suspected of crimes than their populations would suggest.


Nor were these insurrectionists typically from deep-red counties. Some 52 percent are from blue counties that Biden comfortably won. But by far the most interesting characteristic common to the insurrectionists’ backgrounds has to do with changes in their local demographics: Counties with the most significant declines in the non-Hispanic White population are the most likely to produce insurrectionists who now face charges......

Put another way, the people alleged by authorities to have taken the law into their hands on Jan. 6 typically hail from places where non-White populations are growing fastest.........

And is it a proportional response to build walls around the capitol, and man them with 26,000 national guard troops ?

Of course not, but then, that's not really close to what's happening either.

 

[Bigdaddysaints]

I'd like to see these "walls" and the proof there 26k NG troops there. but again, you probably got your info from a Facebook post from someone who is a Q type person..

Looks like there were 25K there between January 6th until the inauguration and there are currently 4600 with plans to take it down to 2300 in May.

Members Of Both Parties Want National Guard Sent Home From Capitol

The top Democrat and Republican on the House Armed Services Committee said they’re “deeply troubled” by the Capitol’s security situation.

www.forbes.com

BIG NUMBER
2,300. That’s how many National Guard troops will remain posted at the Capitol until late May, about half the number currently assigned to guard the building, according to the Pentagon. By comparison, more than 25,000 troops were stationed in Washington in the weeks between the Jan. 6 riots and President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

imagine that, RG using fake news, who'd thought it.. lol.. but he says main stream media can't be trusted, but it he saw it on Facebook, that's a trusted source. smh.

 

[V Chip]

What about the constant talk about an armed insurrection? The FBI didn't seize a single gun from the Capital and not a single Trump supporter fired a weapon.

There was concrete and marble in those buildings.

Oh yeah, and bats and flagpoles and wood and boots.

What about how we now know that nobody brought zip ties in with them so they could kidnap someone? They found them on a desk or in a drawer in the Capitol.

Right.

 

[RebSaint]

Right.

Not to mention the fact that a bunch of loons had planned to kidnap the Governor of Michigan WITH zipties. To completely ignore that piece of context is just, well being intellectually dishonest at worst, at best, just ignorant.

The siege at the U.S. Capitol was similar to what happened in Lansing this spring

The extraordinary images of supporters of President Donald Trump storming the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday were shocking but not surprising, at least to us here...

but we also know that not many were arrested that day. so you really can't say one way or another if they had guns or not. you really think when they were finally arrested they would just admit they brought weapons with them? I guess the bombs that were found aren't considered weapons?

I'm wondering if the reason for few arrests could have been that the security at the Capitol wanted to avoid a gunfight. With that many people in and around the Capitol, arresting everyone later was probably the correct way to handle this.

 

[GrandAdmiral]

It's going to be interesting to see the results of the DOJ's work in flipping some of these rioters. Arrestees flipping on the Proud Boys leadership. Now, if those guys can flip on others even higher, oh boy.

Capitol riot defendant flips against Proud Boys | CNN Politics

At least one of the Capitol riot defendants has flipped against the Proud Boys, agreeing to provide information that could allow the Justice Department to bring a more severe charge against the group’s leadership, according to an attorney involved in the case.

I think that's exactly why they showed as much restraint as they did (not to mention that they were severely outnumbered).
