well, somebody has to enforce Roberts Rules of Order
New York Times has a story with video of the trampling of the “don’t tread on me” lady which occurred at the same time and the same area as the rioter beating on one of the cops with a hockey stick. The rioters trampled her to get to the cops and try to break in.
I wonder if that confluence of events might make Mr Hockey Stick guy liable for felony murder?
This demonstrates that she wasn’t just an innocent victim who had the bad luck to be “in the wrong place at the wrong time.” She was right in the thick of things where thugs were beating cops with potentially lethal weapons.
My adopted Deplorable status: still at large.
I posted this guy’s picture here back in January (see post 705). Somehow, despite his utterly goofy appearance (a Jack Skellington costume, really?), he remains unidentified and unarrested. They got Pink Hat Bullhorn lady; they got Eye Gouger; they got Fire Extinguisher Hurler, but so far not my boy (I call him Billy, but the FBI calls him AFO #94 and apparently he’s guilty of more than just smoking in the Rotunda - he was caught on camera hitting stuff with a stick, which is pretty antisocial).
Billy, I beg you, turn yourself in! I’m sure your childlike wimsey will earn you a more lenient treatment, but only if you step forward now! Hate to see a good kid (sort of) like yourself forced to live on the lam - must be tough, and frankly I’m starting to wonder if my faith in you is misplaced!
Billy, don’t be a zero, don’t be a fool with your life…
What’s worse? Sedition, or that earworm?
He looks Slavic to me. He’s probably back in Russia working on destabilizing Ukraine now.
I’ve heard that he’s known throughout England and France.
Billy has been arrested!
His real name’s Josiah Kenyon (but he’ll always be Billy to me). As my very own adopted Deplorable, I have been waiting for this special day.
They found him in an unheated trailer in the vicinity of Lake Tahoe (it gets cold there!), along with his wife and two small children. The Feds seem to have ID’d him some time ago as he was on a wanted list, so hiding out in the sticks and dragging your family into it was apparently his not so bright idea to avoid capture, but gosh Billy, I don’t think the FBI is going to forget that video of you throwing a traffic cone at cops, or the one where you took a stick and wailed on a Capitol window, so quickly. You should have turned yourself in, all that time in the bitter cold was for nothing - now you and your dear wife are facing child endangerment charges along with, you know. Hope you learned something.
But the search for more Billys goes on. I recommend you look up the Sedition Hunters site and adopt a Deplorable of your own. It’s fun! And there are still lots to choose from. Unfortunately.
Because even though there’s a huge rogue’s gallery of good, clear mug shots, far too many of them remain unidentified. To be sure, it’s quite likely the FBI knows who a good many of them are, but they keep their cards close to the vest. Like Billy I suspect many of the fugitives think a clever idea is to scatter and go Unabomber in some remote hideout, like outlaws in the Westerns, so romantic, but if they think the heat’s going to diminish any time soon I suspect they’ll find it won’t. Meanwhile, #HonkyTonkTraitor, #BullhornKaren, #MilkFaceMan and hundreds more need YOU to take them into your hearts (but please, not your homes!)
Here is their website, if anyone is interested. I have “adopted” a few deplorables myself. Gotta catch them all is what I say.
I have a mental image of sad music playing as a melancholy voice delivers a narration about the hundreds of seditionists who don’t have a warm cell to sleep in or a nutraloaf to eat…
But if they go to prison, they will get a cot, heat, and three squares.
I can see a commercial with Sally Struthers….
…but even sick, emaciated children on the brink of death still don’t elicit the same pity usually reserved for these poor, persecuted-beyond-hope freedumb fighters.
I would chip in a few dollars a month to give these guys a “free” home for the rest of their lives.
I’m pretty sure we already do.
Yes. 
Reading history, and this quote jumped out at me:
“Mob law does not become due process of law by securing the assent of a terrorized jury.”
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Nah. Let’s have Sarah McLaughlin use her ASPCA song instead.
Geez dude. Trigger warning next time.
I can’t get to the remote quick enough when those damn commercials come up.
I love that song, I love cats and dogs, and I hate that commercial with a fiery passion. All my cats are rescues, and I am TIRED of someone trying to guilt me about not trying to rescue them all.
