A man photographed with a Confederate battle flag inside the Capitol building last week amid the deadly insurrection was arrested Thursday in Delaware, according to the New York Times.
He seems nice. He looks like a real patriot. I guess that’s why the cop in the background didn’t arrest him* on the spot?
*I understand it’s currently de rigueur that everyone in DC carries flex cuffs and bear spray.
This makes me so happy. How dare anyone carry that flag into the Capitol.
Growing up, decades ago, Dad always said, “The South: the sorest losers in the history of Western Civilization.”
Ten years mandatory minimum.
Maybe he can use that flag for a blanket in his cold concrete cell . . .
Same basic charges as everybody else who got caught on video inside the Capitol. Whether it will be a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a misdemeanor punishable by a year or less depends on whether the feds contend that he committed the crime while in possession of a weapon, which that flagpole definitely is intended to be.
Fucked around and found out.
Who is the women giving out directions?
Loser flag. Traitor flag. Enslaver flag. Surrender-monkey flag.
Yes! Aside from the actual murderers of the Capitol Policeman, THIS was the scum I most wanted apprehended!
You know, when they get done with all of this, white guys will go from being a majority in the prison population to being a super majority.
News stories for years have exposed the blatant racism among Capitol police, including multiple discrimination suits. A lot of these guys had scant interest in confronting their fellow pink travelers, or taking detailed threat warnings seriously.
They blew more leads than Mike Pence at the cast party after “Hamilton”.
Now THAT dude, bringing that into the White House, deserves a special type of charge don’t you think? Only need two witnesses for a treason charge.
Ben Shapiro will say virtually everyone he knows has a large Confederate flag.
Throw the book at him and lock him up for life.
Reminder to insurrectionists: Behavior has consequences, many times severe consequences. Read and understand.
They need to get the woman general on the megaphone. She looks more difficult to pick out.
O/T Whoo hoo

During the Civil War, the confederacy couldn’t get their flag into the Capitol. But in the age of Trump…
It’s time to treat the flag of sedition like the German people treat the Nazi flag.
