“One video depicted Shroyer, marching with other individuals, leading a crowd of people in a ‘1776!’ chant as the host of the Infowars show on which the video was streamed stated, ‘Alex Jones at this moment is leading the march toward the Capitol building,'” the agent stated.
Did he throw Alex Jones under the bus here? I’d tell him to lawyer up, but he’s probably got them on speed dial already. No doubt Alex Jones at this moment is having an unplanned bowel movement.
Is this a trick question?
“One video depicted Shroyer, marching with other individuals, leading a crowd of people in a ‘1776!’ chant as the host of the Infowars show on which the video was streamed stated,
I’ll see your “1776” and raise you a “1793”, bucko.
ETA: I think part of the historic tension in the relationship between the United States and our oldest ally is that the French have never quite forgiven us for not having our own revolution drown in blood. I mean, French political philosophy inspired a lot of what happened over here, but when push came to guillotine, the original authors struggled to convert it into practical reality…
If memory serves, the last time Alex Jones ran afoul of the law he just claimed he was a “entertainer” and not to be taken seriously on any topic, and therefore not accountable for anything his deranged and deluded listeners might do by misinterpreting his “entertainment” products as reality.
Even if he gets off, I hope he gets smacked with a ginormous tax bill.
I believe that most of us would opine that this is this guy’s hustle.
To paraphrase the movie line, some people folks aren’t just greedy, they want to see the world burn. Beyond the grift, the core ideology of civic arsonists like Shroyer is more nihilist than anything else.
That’s a masterpiece right there.
Seriously?!! Hey, I’ll help you get the word out. Text me with some instructions on how to prepare and what supplies I need. Thanks!
I think the violation of the 2019 deferred prosecution agreement should have been the lead and really puts these current charges in context.
A fundraiser for Shroyer on GiveSendGo, a more permissive crowdfunding site, had surpassed $185,000 at press time.
Where are these economically anxious red hats finding all this disposable income?
“Hours after he was charged, Infowars host Owen Shroyer blamed the FBI, Capitol Police, and Nancy Pelosi for January 6”
By his logic, Shroyer should deride Trump, Republican governors, Republican state and federal representatives as ineffective weaklings because they let Biden win the key swing states.
Shroyer: "Folks, devil worshipping cults run the planet, OK? It’s time to just get real about this.”
A very Q-Anon take. Yet here is someone who appears to be Owen Shroyer sitting beside Alex Jones as Jones rants about how loony Q-anon is.
Wouldn’t surprise me if some of it was from major benefactors, some outright and some through small-dollar straw donors
Two comments:
When he compares his situation to OJ’s, that he cannot be convicted because evidence is (he claims) “manufactured,” it pretty much confirms that he did it.
Remember that everything that these weirdos accuse Demonrats and libtards of doing, they are doing themselves, only on a larger scale and in complete bad faith. Obviously, from his position and conduct, Shroyer is near the inner circle. So when he says, “Folks, devil worshipping cults run the planet, OK? It’s time to just get real about this,” what does that tell you?
Holy crap! Is there anything we can do to save ourselves?
That there’s a pizza parlor, somewhere, that really does have a basement, and that a bunch of GOP’ers are down there worshipping Satan, and drinking the blood of babies, and financing their campaigns by running a child porn/prostitution business.
For the moment, I’m assuming that Anton Lazzaro is just the first of many who will be indicted.
