Alleged Capitol rioter John Lolos may have gotten away with it — if only he hadn’t been kicked off of his flight out of D.C. for yelling “Trump 2020!” then caught the eye of a police officer who recognized him from Instagram.
Nothing unusual here, just another rightwing moron doing his thing. I assume he has lost his job and maybe even gotten evicted from his mother’s basement.
“Lolos was a passenger and was disturbing other passengers on the airplane by continuously yelling ‘Trump 2020!’ Due to the continuing disturbance, the flight crew decided to turn the airplane around and go back to the gate to escort Lolos off of the flight,” the affidavit alleged.
An airport police officer witnessed the scene but didn’t arrest Lolos. Instead, Delta simply booked him on another flight…
Sorry, but this alone should’ve resulted in his immediate arrest.
And what the hell is wrong with Delta?!
I haven’t seen the man’s photograph, so I’ll ask: Is this just another blatant example of Pink Privilege?
“During the video,” according to the affidavit, “Lolos can be seen exiting the U.S. Capitol doorway, wearing the same shirt he was wearing [at] the airport.”
This is why it sets my teeth on edge when I’m told that at least you have to admire somebody’s “passion.” All kinds of perfectly awful people are full of “passion,” and there’s nothing inherently good about it.
I think being obnoxiously stupid is the tie that binds Trump supporters together. It’s one of Trump’s most salient qualities.
And I’m undecided if the “perfect crime” is killing 400k Americans (and counting) with no consequences other than losing reelection or fomenting an insurrection against the duly elected American government, and being allowed to sit in Florida as if nothing happened.
