The one that's really wanted is this guy.[1] This is someone in the Senate chamber with zip-ties. This is not the retired USAF officer who was arrested with zip-ties.[2] The person in [1] is thinner, in good shape, and wearing completely different tactical gear, along with a Punisher logo on an American flag.

They don't seem to think what they did was wrong - but they also didn't seem to understand it was serious. There is a youtube video of a young woman expressing her utter shock and dismay at being maced as she literally tried to storm congress and disrupt the national democratic process. It is amazing to watch, just for how weirdly naive and entitled she is while right up saying they were trying for a revolution. What…
They think Law Enforcement and the military are on their side and that this protects them from consequences.
Reality comes at you fast.
I'm surprised they didn't just issue a geolocation warrant. Sure seemed to be a lot of phones out from the videos I saw.
funny how all the #resistance and #defundthepolice folks are actively working with the feds and law enforcement and cheering them on
I know this one guy who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who definitely had something to do with it. He's kinda orange and has small hands. I would make a report, but I have a feeling it won't do any good:(
Not a lawyer, but if he literally instructed the crowd to "march into the capitol chambers" then it seems like there might be a case, but if he just said something like "march to the capitol" it doesn't sound like enough to prove responsibility. Similarly "fight" could be claimed as a metaphor (e.g. college fight songs) rather than a literal incitement to violence. Etc..
But he did - Spend two months riling them with his grievance fantasies Call all patriots to gather for a rally Spend 70 minutes telling them their votes had been stolen and they needed to FIGHT! Tell them to march to the capitol.
It's a very fine line, and the outcome very predictable, even if he didn't explicitly tell them to invade it.

I don’t think these people had or have any interest in being anonymous. They are standing up for what they believe in. A public display is an important part of this all, it’s part of their statement as Americans in America.

Anyway, for another example of "they also didn't seem to understand it was serious," the quote from the feet-up-on-the-desk guy:
> "I'll probably be telling them this is what happened all the way to the D.C. jail," Mr. Barnett said.
He's glib about it the same way you might be about spending a night in the drunk tank after getting a little too crazy at Mardi Gras.

Is downvoting to censor comments something that should be against the guidelines or not?
Sorry, I downvoted because t*rr*r is a common tr*gger word for some folks. If a corporation is not morally responsible enough to censor irresponsible comments, then the community must feel empowered to do so.
This is a post about an attack that killed at least 5 people.
