WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The FBI sought the public’s help in identifying the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol, as the Justice Department said on Thursday a policy adopted in the summer to consider sedition charges for anti-racism protesters would also apply in this case.



The first of about 70 people arrested after Wednesday’s assault by President Donald Trump’s supporters on the seat of the U.S. government were due in court on Thursday, with most facing initial charges of violating a curfew imposed to quell the unrest.

The assault forced members of Congress who were in the process of certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory to evacuate the chambers for several hours.

The U.S. Capitol Police said they had arrested another 14 suspects in connection with the rioting, most charged with unlawful entry.

The Justice Department confirmed that a policy put in place urging federal prosecutors to consider “seditious conspiracy” charges for people involved in anti-racism protests would also apply to those who stormed the Capitol, smashing windows and stealing property.


Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen “continues his commitment to the charging considerations” spelled out in the summer memo laying out that policy, a Justice Department spokesman said in a statement on Thursday.

In a late-night news conference, Metropolitan Police Department Chief Robert Contee said most of the arrests were related to violations of Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser’s curfew, and included people arrested on U.S. Capitol grounds.

Several others were arrested on charges related to carrying unlicensed or prohibited firearms.

A spokeswoman for the District of Columbia Superior Court told Reuters court appearances for the people who were arrested and not detained would not take place until March and April.

The FBI is taking the lead on an investigation into two pipe bombs that were recovered from the headquarters of the Republican and Democratic national committees.

D.C. police said the bombs were authentic, and also told reporters they had recovered a cooler from a vehicle on U.S. Capitol grounds that contained Molotov cocktails.

The FBI has asked the public to submit tips, including images and videos, to help agents identify people who were “actively instigating violence.”

Mayor Bowser said police also intend to ask the public for help in identifying rioters, many of whom posed for photos inside the Capitol building and can be seen in videos on social media without masks.


While the number of people arrested is expected to grow, the initial number paled in comparison with the more than 300 people arrested by police following the June 1 protests in the District of Columbia related to the police killing of George Floyd.

In that incident, baton-swinging police and federal agents fired smoke canisters, flash-bang grenades and rubber bullets to drive protesters farther from the White House, enabling Trump to walk across Lafayette Square and hold up a Bible in front of historic St. John’s Church.

Law enforcement officers were severely criticized for being too aggressive at Lafayette Square. The Capitol Police are now facing questions about why they did not do more to secure the Capitol building.

SEATTLE (AP) — An Edmonds, Washington, man has pleaded guilty to possessing Molotov cocktail devices that he used to set fire to Seattle police vehicles during a May protest that turned violent.

Kelly Thomas Jackson, 20, manufactured the destructive devices after researching how on the internet, according to his plea agreement, which was entered Wednesday.

He faces up to 10 years in prison on each of the two felony counts of possession of a destructive device when he’s sentenced in U.S. District Court on March 29. Two counts of arson were dismissed as part of his plea agreement, according to court records.

Thousands of protesters swarmed streets across the country following the May 25 death of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. Some of the demonstrations in Seattle turned violent and on the night of May 30, a half dozen Seattle police vehicles were set on fire.

Margaret Aislinn Channon, 25, of Tacoma, was arrested soon after on five federal counts of arson for using a blowtorch-like accelerant to burn the police vehicles. She pleaded not guilty and is on supervised release. Her trial is set for March 8.

Phone and email messages seeking comment from her lawyer, Federal Public Defender Christopher Sanders, were not immediately returned.

Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also searched for a man in a dark sweatshirt and respirator who was seen on video throwing a threw a “glass bottle with an ignited fabric wick” into one of the police vehicles, which erupted in flames.

He was also seen throwing another Molotov cocktail on the windshield of another police car. Each time Jackson ran back into the crowd, according to court records. Using video, his phone records and tips from an anonymous source, agents identified the man as Jackson. He was arrested in September. He was released on bond on special supervision in November. He’ll remain on bond until his sentencing.

Robert Goldsmith, Jackson’s lawyer, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment. Attempts to reach Jackson’s mother were not successful.

I don't know if I believe the paradigm is shifting away from a belief among right and left wing protesters that police favor the right. However, given their seemingly blithe attitude toward showing their faces to Capitol video cameras, right wing protestors seemed to believe that police would arrest them. Also at a protest in Salem a few weeks ago, they seemed shocked and angered when they were greeted with a hail of pepper balls and mace when they tried to force their way into the lobby of the Oregon Statehouse. One of the MAGAts even bear sprayed a police officer when the officer didn't allow him to cross a police cordon.

This, from 538 regarding the apparent surprise by Trump's Terrorists at a violent and deadly police response:

Police Response In D.C. Flies In The Face Of Right-Wing Self-Perception

I just got off the phone with Ed Maguire, a professor of criminology at Arizona State University who studies interactions between protesters and police, and he told me that his interviews with protesters have shown a consistent pattern: Left-wing protesters believe that police are against them and will rough them up more than other kinds of protesters; right-wing protesters believe that police are on their side.

There’s not much empirical evidence to show whether those perceptions are true, but even unprovable beliefs can end up mattering a lot if they shape behavior.

But today’s events are likely to change the game. When he interviewed right-wing protesters at Stop the Steal events in Arizona over the past few months, Maguire was surprised to find just how strong — and how religious — their belief in police support was. “They believed God was on their side and police were backing them,” he told me. “That leftists are Godless and they hate God and hate America. [But right-wing protesters] were God fearing moral people and police would always back them for that reason.”

Now, they have evidence that isn’t true. The use of police force against right-wing protesters — any force — upsets the apple cart of some very deeply held beliefs, Maguire said. And that’s likely to have consequences of some kind.

That does explain a lot.

It is amazing how much the brainwashing has stuck with these people. But I guess if you get to watch video of some white kid that murdered people walking right past police it really would imprint that you are rioting with the support of the police.

There is a sheep joke in here somewhere with the morons wearing their shepherd LARPing outfits, but I am too tired to think of it.

Damn imagine if you knew ahead of time all the white supremacists/nazi's in the police force. Like on a actual excel sheet.

You could set up a crawler to match the names of those officers with any/all public police reports and push those stories that you know a racist is involved with using click farm/trolls to the audience it would impact the most and just sit back and play the long troll, because you know eventually that situation will have a higher chance of blowing up with a George Floyd.

Scary stuff when you know a foreign military has all of our dirty laundry and we are left vulnerable to this propaganda attack.

The siege on the U.S. Capitol played out as a QAnon fantasy made real: The faithful rose up in their thousands, summoned to Washington by their leader, President Trump. They seized the people’s house as politicians cowered under desks. Hordes wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the “Q” symbol and toting Trump flags closed in to deliver justice, armed with zip-tie handcuffs and rope and guns.

The “#Storm” envisioned on far-right message boards had arrived. And two women who had died in the rampage — both QAnon devotees — had become what some were calling the first martyrs of the cause.

The siege ended with police retaking the Capitol and Trump being rebuked and losing his Twitter account. But the failed insurrection marked a grim milestone in how the paranoid conspiracy theory QAnon has radicalized Americans, reshaped the Republican Party and gained a forceful grip on right-wing belief.

Born in the Internet’s fever swamps, QAnon played an unmistakable role in energizing rioters during the real-world attack on Jan. 6. A man in a “Q” T-shirt led the breach of the Senate, while a shirtless, fur-clad believer known as the “Q Shaman” posed for photographers in the Senate chamber. Twitter later purged more than 70,000 accounts associated with the conspiracy theory, in an acknowledgment of the online potency of QAnon.

The baseless conspiracy theory, which imagines Trump in a battle with a cabal of deep-state saboteurs who worship Satan and traffic children for sex, helped drive the day’s events and facilitate organized attacks. A pro-Trump mob overwhelmed Capitol Police officers, injuring dozens, and one officer later died as a result. One woman was fatally shot by police inside the Capitol. Three others in the crowd died of medical emergencies.

QAnon devotees joined with extremist group members and white supremacists at the Capitol assault after finding one another on Internet sanctuaries: the conservative forums of TheDonald.win and Parler; the anonymous extremist channels of 8kun and Telegram; and the social media giants of Facebook and Twitter, which have scrambled in recent months to prevent devotees from organizing on their sites.


“The takeaway from this is that disinformation is a threat to our democracy,” said Joel Finkelstein, co-founder of the Network Contagion Research Institute, a research group that studies online disinformation. “And we’re not nearly done.”

As much of the nation — including leading Republicans — expressed horror at last week’s events, a different narrative was playing out in the parallel online universe that has grown around Trump’s presidency and helped sustain it through perpetual upheaval. The siege was justified, described on Twitter by one QAnon devotee as “the least we can do.” Or it was staged as a false flag to discredit Trump supporters, with its participants as the true victims.

“You all know the attack on the Capitol was done by [the far-left political movement] antifa,” Thomas McInerney, a retired lieutenant general in the Air Force, declared in remarks captured on video and peppered across Twitter by accounts participating in a frenzied effort to construct a different narrative of the Capitol riots.

In recent months, it has become challenging to know where QAnon’s world ends and Trump’s begins. QAnon T-shirts and banners are a constant presence at Trump’s rallies, and pro-Trump figures are exalted by QAnon believers as heroes.

Twitter bans Trump’s account, citing risk of further violence

Trump has rarely explicitly acknowledged QAnon, which has been linked by law enforcement to intensifying real-world violence, although believers have often celebrated when he has retweeted the conspiracy theory’s best-known promoters. In August, when Trump was asked whether he believed QAnon’s core claims that he was “secretly saving the world from this cult of pedophiles and cannibals,” Trump replied, “If I can help save the world from problems, I am willing to do it. … We are actually, we’re saving the world.”

Q’s relative quiet since the election has led some believers toward a crisis of faith on whether Q had abandoned the flock. But many still call on their fellow adherents to “trust the plan”: “Do not mistake silence for inaction,” says one site that sends alerts whenever Q posts a new “intelligence drop.”

A rightwing extremist boasted of driving from Texas to Minneapolis to help set fire to a police precinct during the George Floyd protests, federal prosecutors said.

US attorney Erica MacDonald said on Friday that she had charged Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old Texas resident, with traveling across state lines to participate in a riot. The charges are the latest example of far-right extremists attempting to use violence to escalate national protests against police brutality into an uprising against the government, and even full civil war.

The case also reveals the extent of the coordination between violent members of the nascent far-right “Boogaloo Bois” movement operating in different cities across the country.

According to the criminal complaint against Hunter, on 26 May, as intense protests broke out in Minneapolis over the killing of George Floyd by a city police officer, a “Boogaloo Boi” based in Minnesota posted a public Facebook message: “I need a headcount.”


Hunter, a resident of Boerne, Texas, which is roughly 1,200 miles away, responded: “72 hours out.”

Another “Boogaloo Boi”, based in North Carolina, posted a public message the same day: “Lock and load boys,” he wrote, adding, “the national network is going off.”

“Boogaloo” has long been used on online message boards as an ironic term for a second civil war, one that might be sparked by any government attempts to confiscate Americans’ guns. But in 2019 and early 2020, the memes about a coming “boogaloo” began to coalesce into an anti-government, pro-gun movement, with armed “Boog bois” showing up at protests, some wearing the “Boogaloo” uniform of a bright Hawaiian shirt paired with a military-style rifle.

In the late winter and early spring of 2020, researchers noted a growing number of “Boogaloo” groups on Facebook, many of them posting explicitly about military tactics and killing government officials, as well as the proliferation of “Boogaloo”-themed merchandise for sale, such as flags, patches, and Hawaiian-print gun accessories.

Prosecutors say that Hunter would later describe himself to Austin police officers as “the leader of the Boogaloo Bois in south Texas”.

By 28 May, during a night of the most intense unrest and destruction in the city, Hunter was in Minneapolis, just as the 3rd precinct police station, known locally as a “playground for renegade cops”, was being set on fire.

Video shot that night shows a person later identified as Hunter firing 13 rounds from a semiautomatic assault-style rifle on the 3rd precinct police station while people believed to be looters were inside. He then high-fived another person and shouted, “Justice for Floyd!” according to the complaint.


Later, he privately messaged Steven Carrillo, another alleged “Boogaloo Boi” in California, urging him to “go for police buildings”, according to the federal criminal complaint.

“I did better, lol,” Carrillo allegedly replied.

Hours before Carrillo sent that message, according to the complaint, federal prosecutors say Carrillo had driven to Oakland with an accomplice, and, as protesters were demonstrating blocks away, shot two officers guarding a federal courthouse in downtown Oakland, killing one, David Patrick Underwood.

Carrillo was later charged with killing another law enforcement officer, a Santa Cruz sheriff’s deputy, in an ambush attack in June.

According to the complaint, Hunter would later post multiple messages on Facebook bragging of his actions in Minneapolis on the night of 28 May and morning of 29 May, writing, “I set fire to that precinct with the Black community,” and, “My mom would call the FBI if she knew.”

“I’ve burned police stations with Black Panthers in Minneapolis,” he claimed in one message, and in another, “The BLM protesters in Minneapolis loved me.”

Police in Austin, Texas, stopped a pickup truck, in which Hunter was a passenger, on 3 June for multiple traffic violations. Hunter had six loaded magazines for a semiautomatic rifle in a tactical vest he was wearing. Officers also found multiple firearms in the truck.

Several days after the stop, federal agents learned of Hunter’s online affiliation with Carrillo. MacDonald said Hunter made his initial court appearance on Thursday in San Antonio, Texas. It is unclear if he has an attorney.

Hunter is the third alleged “Boogaloo Boi” to be charged in connection with protests in Minneapolis. Across the country, the “Boogaloo” movement has been linked to more than two dozen arrests and at least five deaths this year, including the alleged plot to kidnap the Michigan governor, Gretchen Whitmer.

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — An 18-year-old Illinois teen charged with fatally shooting two people during a protest in southeastern Wisconsin last year is prohibited from associating with known white supremacists under a judge’s recently modified bail conditions.

Kyle Rittenhouse was 17 during the Aug. 25 demonstration in Kenosha, Wisconsin, as hundreds were protesting the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man. Rittenhouse has been charged with multiple counts, including reckless and intentional homicide, endangerment and being a minor in possession of a firearm.

Prosecutors allege Rittenhouse, who is white, left his home in Antioch, Illinois, and traveled to Kenosha to answer a call for militia to protect businesses. Kenosha was in the throes of several nights of chaotic street demonstrations after a white officer shot Blake in the back during a domestic disturbance, leaving Blake paralyzed.

Rittenhouse opened fire with an assault-style rifle during the protest, killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz, authorities said. Rittenhouse has pleaded not guilty to all counts and argued he fired in self-defense. Conservatives have rallied around him, generating enough money to make his $2 million cash bail.

According to online court records, a Wisconsin judge modified Rittenhouse’s conditions of release on Friday to note Rittenhouse “shall not knowingly have conduct with any person or group of persons known to harm, threaten, harass or menace others on the basis of their race, beliefs on the subject of religion, color, national origin, or gender.”

He is also barred from possessing and consuming alcohol and from having firearms.

Prosecutors had requested the modifications after Rittenhouse was seen drinking at a bar in the southeastern Wisconsin city of Mount Pleasant, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of Milwaukee, earlier this month. The legal drinking age is 21, but in Wisconsin, Rittenhouse could legally drink alcohol because he was with his mother.

According to WMTV, prosecutors wrote in their request that Rittenhouse also posed for a photo outside Pudgy’s Pub with two men as they made the “OK” sign with their hands, a symbol used by white supremacists. Prosecutors also alleged five men at the tavern serenaded Rittenhouse with a song that has become the anthem of the Proud Boys, a neo-fascist group.
