Nearly a week on from the attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, more than 70 people have been charged, hundreds more are expected to face arrest and prosecution, and the FBI has been inundated with more than 100,000 tips, according to authorities.

Among those charged are some of the most recognizable faces from the attack, including a self-described "QAnon Shaman", and the man who was photographed sitting at a desk in the office of Nanci Pelosi, the Democratic speaker of the House, but in recent days, authorities have widened the net as they track people involved in the riot, with online tips helping to identify those who took part.
On Tuesday the FBI said more than 70 people had been charged over the storming of the Capitol. The agency said it had opened more than 170 case files in connection with the riot, and had received "more than 100,000 pieces of digital media" since 6 January.

These are only the beginning," the acting attorney general for the District of Columbia, Michael Sherwin, said at a press conference on Tuesday. "This is not the end."
In the neighboring New York City borough of Queens, Eduard Florea, a member of the far-right Proud Boys group was arrested on Tuesday, after he reportedly attempted to organize an armed caravan to travel to Washington. Florea is not believed to have taken part in the Capitol riot, NBC News said.

That's a lot of cases for doing something so stupid. It's like if I rob a gas station and I didn't wear a mask or gloves, most likely they'll find me and throw me in jail. Did they think that then walking into a no trespassing Zone and causing damage to government property without consequences?

The most common sense would be to wear masks and gloves. Keep your mouth shut and don't say a word. Don't bring your personal phone with you. And above all why would you post pictures of your crime on Twitter or Facebook on your personal account?

This should be the official stupid criminal award for the next hundreds of people who are about to get prosecuted in the near future.

So I should or shouldn't wear my work badge when committing crimes in the future?

So this asshole not only trespasses, he was also Covid-19 positive and was around so many people.

So even if you don't get caught by the FBI, there's a possibility you could be infected with covid-19. Well isn't that a double whammy.



Put some reward money behind the bringing more information to the FBI on who was there and I guarantee you that list will get twice as big upcoming weeks.

YYYyyyep.

I said it another thread and I'll it again here, I'm willing to bet a lot of these terrorists have family, friends, and co-workers that had zero problems tipping off the FBI about their involvement.

"Finally we can have a Thanksgiving without uncle Ron going off about how he thinks Hitler had some good ideas."

"Finally I can go into the break room and not be forced to hear Cleadus rant about the Deep State and Antifa."

Between an awkward intervention and turning them over to the FBI, I'd go with turning them over.

I think a lot of these guys are going to wish they had kept up on their child support payments...

Ironically had they followed covid mask guidelines they would've been harder to catch

Here's a short story of one of them

Openly gloating about getting ammo and encouraging other "Patriots" to do so.


Followed by going to the riot, kicking down Pelosi's door, claiming she'd do it again, then screaming she was "Just observing" when the FBI knocked and dragged her out.

I guess being part of an insurrection riot at Capitol Hill is a turn on for Conservative women?

How dumb are they? Nothing else to brag about?
On the dating app I use I can't filter out conservative women without filtering out women who don't post their political affiliation. As a result I get a lot of conservative women and let me tell you the stuff they post in their profiles are horrible. I haven't turned on the app since the 6th because I'm afraid of what I'll read.

I so would turn someone in the second I recognized their ass. After having to deal with Trumpers' bullshit and bite my tongue as they go off about stupid conspiracy for four years it would be cathartic.

They should have been loaded into police vans and locked up a week ago instead of being escorted out of the building.

i feel like this would work excellently as a movie montage where its like 30 minutes of doors being busted down and people being arrested. people with confederate flags, and ammo piled up to the ceiling -- they run into their boxes of ammo and they all open up and rain down on the floor etc etc

Yep. While it is immensely satisfying watching them go down, the FBI wouldn't have had to go to such lengths had the police presence that day (a) been appropriate in magnitude and (b) actually did their job.
