InfoWars host Owen Shroyer is reportedly in custody and faces charges for his actions on Jan. 6, when he amped up the crowd outside of the Capitol alongside InfoWars founder Alex Jones.
Hours after he was charged, Infowars host Owen Shroyer blamed the FBI, Capitol Police, and Nancy Pelosi for January 6: “Folks, devil worshipping cults run the planet, OK? It’s time to just get real about this.” https://www.mediamatters.org/infowars/infowars-host-owen-shroyer-blames-fbi-capitol-police-and-nancy-pelosi-manufacturing pic.twitter.com/FYXWbikc1W
Guess he got some bad info on the war?
After that protest, according to the affidavit against him, Shroyer was charged in D.C. court with disorderly and disruptive conduct on Capitol grounds and obstructing and impeding passage on Capitol grounds.
As part of a deferred prosecution agreement, Shroyer agreed not to pull any similar stunts again, according to the affidavit: No “loud threatening, or abusive language” on Capitol grounds, nor any “disorderly or disruptive conduct” with intent to disrupt Congress.
And yet Shroyer seems to have done just that, helping push InfoWars’ advertising campaign for Jan. 6 and speaking in D.C. on Jan. 5 and 6.
You mean Trumpers and insurrectionists can’t be trusted to honor their word? Quelle surprise!
I hope the DOJ remembers this when discussing plea deals.
Don’t ya just love the big shots who incite and inflame their adoring followers - and then duck out when the followers follow through. I wonder if this sets a precedent of some sort for a conspiracy or other charge against Trump, who specifically urged the rally participants to march on Congress, saying he’d be right with them - and then ducked back into protected space. I’m pleased to see this arrest. Words count.
I think that’ll depend on who he can roll over on.
I’d guess it’s only a matter of time before we find out.
At the very least, Alex Jones would seem to have more cause to sweat. (ed.)
Boyoboy! I have never listened to any infowars crap. This guy is totally insane. Do people actually listen to and believe this kind of horseshit?
He doesn’t seem to be getting the message, does he?
Something which, I suppose, will be considered at his sentencing hearing if he doesn’t cut a deal.
A lot of deplorables Jones for this crap.
I remember when he used to rant in the early 00’s about the evil GWB, I guess he figured out there was more money in grifting rubes.
It’s the same people he’s grifting. It’s just that with the onset of Trumpitis these folks briefly were brought onboard to support an “anti-governmental government.” Once the Trumpitis is out of the political system, they’ll go back to being full-on anti-gov kooks.
“Folks, devil worshipping cults run the planet, OK? It’s time to just get real about this.”
LOL! These fuckwads can literally just say anything. “Folks, giant overflowing space toilets are being piloted into our atmosphere by a starving race of extraterrestrial sharkpeople to shower the planet with blue 2000 Flushes water mixed with their cosmic urine in order to slowly turn us all into fishpeople they can eat, which will happen if we consume any crops tainted by their galactic pee rain. It’s time to just get real about this.”
Wait, is this sarcasm? Many people are saying this is ChemTrails 2.0.
It’s funny…I’ve been thinking about the chemtrails thing lately too…mostly in the sense that I’m surprised I haven’t heard more batshit craziness from people claiming that COVID was spread by them or whatever, so maybe that is where it came from haha
So to speak.
Damn! I’m stealing that to use on the stupids. I’m rich!
Raised 185k for his defense so far? Looks like these guys will be keeping defence lawyers employed. Not that it’s been helping much, but hey, it’s good for the economy, right?
Wow. You really did the research.
I think you might be a bit late to that party*:
“Folks, an evil alien overload stuffed the souls of the damned into Earth’s volcanoes and all human fallibility and suffering stems from those haunted spirits clinging to your life essence.”
