Four Proud Boys leaders were convicted on May 4th, two days before the attack, of Seditious Conspiracy. The Proud Boys wear this patch. This was a retaliatory attack. It was not a random lunatic. Well, a lunatic, but not random. Not a bit. Law enforcement needs to take everyone associated with the Proud Boys in for extensive searches and questioning.
This isnt first amendment stuff anymore. It is terrorist activity.

(4,792 posts)then the Patriot Act kicks in, and the rules for searches, evidence and rights of anyone accused all change in favor of the government. If it goes that way it will be very interesting, especially since orange man has had contact with these folks.

(3,138 posts)It's been terrorist activity from the minute tfg stole the 2016 election. I can't articulate it, but I have a feeling that none of the conspirators are worried. The wackos in the House act like they're not afraid of anyone or anything. Individuals like mtg and bobo are free to annoy and embarrass everyone because they know something, and it may be more dangerous and more Russian than we think. I hope not.
