In reply to the discussion: Jan. 6 Defendant Opens Fire on Deputies Before Surrender to the F.B.I. [View all]Ms. Toad
(37,774 posts)41. Way to many gaps on that article.
Why was he stopped trying to cross into Canada? He wasn't yet charged. No other reason was mentioned.
Why was he questioned? Unless there is a reason, if you don't have the right papers they just don't let you cross and send you home. And why, specifically was he being questioned in a way that elicited a conversation about J6 (since it sounds like he wasn't even on the authorities radar until after the conversation)
And what felony had he already been convicted of, which was the basis for the phoning on him owning guns?
