It doesn't stop!

A heavily armed man has been arrested in Washington at a security checkpoint near the US Capitol, where President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated next week, authorities said.
Wesley Allen Beeler, of Virginia, was taken into custody after police found him with a handgun and more than 500 rounds of ammunition, shotgun shells and a magazine for the gun, according to a police report obtained by AFP.

He thinks he's better than his supporters


There are news reports that Trump was unhappy that the rioters looked to be low class. He does not like low class things to be associated with him. It tends to tarnish his “image” of being rich and successful.


A White House insider had claimed Trump said: "The virus is a good thing; now I won't have to shake hands with disgusting people."

Anyone notice how neither of them had on face masks? Let's hope they all get sick and die. Less white suprimists but sadly they multiply.

Those "disgusting" MAGAs have sacrificed their livelihoods to attend the klan rally at the capitol building. But I am sure they will just say its fake news.

Alas evil people seem to be the ones who controlled the destiny of America and the world for the past 4 years.

The funny thing is, the forty thousand maniacs who showed up at the capitol were hardly out of work minimum wage workers or hillbilly types. No, those sorts of people who are usually associated with Trump support couldn't afford to travel across the country for a massive act of sedition. Most of that mob was composed of middle and upper middle class people, many business owners. Goes to show you what Trump feels for what any other politician would drool to have the support of.

That also underlines the fact that one of Trump's biggest support groups is middle and borderline upper class white males who feel very insecure at the moment. Despite Democrat promises to only increase taxes for the ridiculously wealthy, these guys think they're going to lose money, power and status to blacks, mexicans, women and homosexuals. And they're not happy about it.

Well gosh... :(

I had no idea that we all looked wrong.

From now on...I will be sure to wear a gray flannel business suit whenever I attend a pro Trump riot...er...I mean ...rally... so as not to upset my idol! :)

We should have a strict dress code next time. No more of those camo caps from Pro Bass that make you look like a deer hunting hillbilly (even if you ARE that). Gotta wear tennis whites (even if it's winter)so you look like you are a member of a country club (whether you are that or not).

And I guess that...wearing a buffalo horn head dress is now... out of the question! What a buzz kill!

This from our favourite capitol rioters thread

Oh dear...lots of wealthy business owners, the CEO of a tech company, stock brokers, lawyers and other professionals identified among the rioters who broke US property.



My favourite is the wife of a multimillionaire who flew with her friends on a private jet to DC and can be seen breaking windows, She is openly calling for war against the government. I imagine her idea of war is sitting in her mansion with her wealthy Karen friends watching others die on her private movie theatre. She called the riot the "best day of her life".

The Toyota Rep, Roy Ball. was wearing his US flag in the form of a KKK cone hat. So I guess he was carrying on a time honoured tradition. The nostalgia almost (but not quite) brings a tear to one's eye.

I wouldn't be surprised if the KKK didn't wear that white gear and those pointy hoods to this day. In the US, such hoods would be offensive. If I tried to be a ghost for Halloween and it looked like the KKK because the top was all pointy, I would change my costume or else people might think I am a KKK and will find it very offensive.

The Trump thing that happened at capital hill was very similar and no different. They even had hate gear on them too, white supremist symbols, anti Semitism, one of them even had on a sweater saying Camp Auswitz. (sp)

Its not a bad analogy since the 1920 white robed terrorists were also doctors, lawyers, police, army, business owners and other middle/upper middle class folk.

Reporter’s Footage from Inside the Capitol Siege
Click on the linked article to see video

Quote:
When Luke Mogelson attended President Donald Trump’s speech on the National Mall, in Washington, D.C., on January 6th, he was prepared for the possibility that violence might erupt that day. Mogelson, a veteran war correspondent and a contributing writer at The New Yorker, had spent the previous ten months reporting on the radical fringe of Trump supporters, from anti-lockdown militias to fascist groups such as the Proud Boys. After Election Day, he interviewed Trump supporters who showed up at ballot-tabulation sites, and who believed the President’s lies that the results had been “rigged” and his victory “stolen.” At one post-election pro-Trump rally in D.C., Mogelson witnessed racist violence against Black residents of the nation’s capital. At another event, he watched the host of the white-supremacist Web program “America First” declare, “Our Founding Fathers would get in the streets, and they would take this country back by force if necessary. And that is what we must be prepared to do.”

After Trump’s incendiary speech, Mogelson followed the President’s supporters as they forced their way into the U.S. Capitol, using his phone’s camera as a reporter’s notebook. What follows is a video that includes some of that raw footage. Mogelson harnessed this material while writing his panoramic, definitive report, “Among the Insurrectionists,” which the magazine posted online on Friday. (It appears in print in the January 25th issue.) His prose vividly captures how the raging anger and violence of the initial breach of the Capitol was followed by an eerily quiet and surreal interlude inside the Senate chamber, where Mogelson watched people rummaging through desks and posing for photographs. Although the footage was not originally intended for publication, it documents a historic event and serves as a visceral complement to Mogelson’s probing, illuminating report.

Free bus ride to Washington DC, it was also planned on facebook as well but it was very subtle.

I wonder if any antifa members left pipe-bombs and hand ties at the capitol hill violent protest?
It is simply speculation, at this time.
Cee Cee Pee type face recognition software would have been very useful here.

Wealthy people are citizens also, and are entitled to protest, peacefully.
If they act violently, not so much.
Keep in mind, both sides of the political divide behaved appallingly, at times.
