Other than the shoes there doesn’t seem to be much to go on unfortunately. The story says they aren’t even sure it its a man or woman. I worry this will be one of those unsolved crimes, unless the perp starts running their mouth.
Or, more likely, running their Twitter.
Ooh, let’s start dissing the footwear, and wait for someone to post:
If we’re lucky he was dumb enough to have his mobile phone on him and on - he might have left some digital crumbs behind if that’s the case. If he’s smart, he used a burner phone or simply went 20th Century and didn’t bring it.
A guy with a top secret clearance who worked on the Presidential helicopter has been charged with participating in the insurrection.
To join the squadron, members must undergo a special security clearance process known as Yankee White, which is reserved for personnel with close access to the president.
Yankee White? There’s a grim joke somewhere in there.
that story leaves off this nugget of info:
Andries left the Marine Corps as a lance corporal in November 2009 with no combat deployments, according to his service record.
so he hasnt been a marine for over 11yrs. and judging by his picture a lot has happened in those intervening years.
I wonder why neither one of those pipe bombs went off.
I’ve seen it speculated that they were intended only to attract attention and draw police officers away from the Capitol building, thereby reducing their defenses and making it easier to achieve a breach. But because the police lines were already poorly staffed and organized, this became unnecessary, so the bombs were practically abandoned. It makes sense, I guess, though forensics experts should be able to extract substantial evidence from an unexploded bomb, and someone with real-world criminal experience would know better than to leave a device like that for law enforcement to analyze.
Speaking of which, has there been anything released on what the Secret Service’s code name for Biden is? Or Trump for that matter.
I’m thinking of that SNL sketch where the SS reluctantly told Ford his code name was Stumblebum.
Trump - Mogul
Biden - Celtic
?
I thought it was
Clinton - Satchmo
Ford - Jiggy Druid Evil
Bush Sr - O’Brien
A civilian employee of the Air Force, who is allegedly a Proud Boy, and advocated civil war, has been banned from showing up for work on the unnamed Air Force Base he works at.
Surly there must be a few Confederate generals whose names we could use for this poor neglected Air Force Base.
In 4 years after the Proud Boys take over the country this base will be renamed in honor of this now-anonymous civilian contractor.
Who is 99.9% likely to be a retired enlisted man who has earned his crust from Uncle Sam for the entirety of his life. IOW, a man who’s been embedded in a socialist workers’ paradise from high school on now wants to tear it down over rumors that some of the rest of the citizens want to extend a small amount of more of the same to themselves.
Former Salt Lake City “officer of the year” arrested for his part in the Capitol sedition.
Capitol rioter wants out of jail because he doesn’t belong with people who have committed “inner city” crimes.
I think one of the comments on that thread summed up the real argument behind that “inner city” crimes thing:
A Capitol rioter has been re-arrested on charges of plotting to blow up an Amazon Web Services facility. I wonder if it has anything to do with Amazon shutting off Parler.

Plea deal being made higher up on the sedition food chain? Whatever could this mean? It appears the country is about to witness a long line of dominoes falling, and maybe just maybe some actual sedition charges filed for some folks at the Very Top.
