Two California men have been indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly plotting to attack the Democratic Party headquarters in Sacramento, part of what prosecutors say was a plan to inspire a “movement” among “patriots” following the 2020 election.
The paramilitary wing of the Republican party in action. This is only going to get worse.
Officers raided Rogers’ home and business on Jan. 17, finding five fully assembled pipe bombs, dozens of firearms including three machine guns, and thousands of rounds of ammunition — and something claiming to be a “White Privilege Card.”
Where were these boomhumpers on January 5th?
I think you misspelled “paranoid”…
It makes you wonder how many more of these types are out there, just waiting for the signal that makes them decide it’s the day to put their violent plans into motion. There will come a day when the “patriot movement” decides to move, and it will be an ugly day, hopefully mostly for them. The fear is that there are enough of them to cause real damage, or to encourage people who are friendly towards them to decide to fight as well.
I’m not sure how this is headed off either, it seems like we’re on course for it to happen sometime this decade. Jan 6th was just the prelude to the main event.
“2 men can change the world if we want to,” Rogers allegedly wrote to Copeland.
And twelve jurors can put two men in prison if they want to.
”Have fun storming the cell block, boys!”
“2 men can change the world if we want to,” Rogers allegedly wrote to Copeland, also on Nov. 27.
“We don’t need to win over 50,000 people we need 500 pissed off patriots that want America back,” Copeland responded.
too much ‘food’
So will Ex-Lax. Same outcome…
“There is no evidence whatsoever that any preparatory actions were taken,” the attorney continued. “It was all intoxicated speech. Mr. Rogers has been collecting firearms for many years. They were not accumulated to promote any perceived plot. The pipe bombs were made long before the election strife with rudimentary materials like ammunition reload powder that Mr Rogers had on hand, with the intent to set them off on camping trips, blowing up tree stumps and the like. All were kept in a thick gun safe in his shop that kept them secure from accident.”
HAHAHA. Does this crank lawyer work for the kraken?
So these guys were drunk for months, building illegal explosives (what fun!), chatting with Boogaloos, collecting armor and weapons, and all the while discussing which building to light on fire, shoot up, and then explode with pipebombs… and when caught communicated with other terrorists to destroy evidence and this lawyer seriously presented this all as some sort of cute misunderstanding?
In unrelated news, the Department of Justice announced its 501st indictment of a capitol treasonweaseler.
It worked for Yertle and Putin.
We still don’t know who left the pipebombs at the DNC on Jan 6th… maybe these fools know a thing or two?
“Have fun in Miracle Supermax!”
OT-amazingly wonderful news!
Always nice to read about the - my client is a heavily armed, angry, alcoholic defense. My client is a responsible machine gun and bomb owner because he keeps them in a safe.
I love camping - nothing quite like communing in nature with pipe bombs.
It continues with Shuham (and other reporters) writing more about these attempted incidents.
The thing that comforts me is that the system again worked. Two jackoffs decided to stake a claim, said too much, got arrested; onto the next two.
What scares me are the precise ones. The ones who make sure that their friends lists don’t have too many ‘branches’.
It kills me to side with Liz Cheney but:
“You fucking did this”
Should be the response sent to every Republican’s in-box with a link to these stories every time we have an article like this.
This should be a rallying cry for the Democrats.
It was at this point, the plan escalated to a more sophisticated form. Law enforcement found the core materials ready to be assembled into a master weapon.
Rogers and Copeland believed that the attacks would start what they called a ‘movement.’
Just the purest distillation of the terrorist mindset, isn’t it? See also the refusal to stand up for their “principles” once caught.
Idiots like these two morans have been around as long as I can remember… The attorney was right about one thing, they are moronic drunken blowhards.
