> In total, prosecutors believe that Mr Rumson spent only about 15 minutes in the Capitol before leaving. Outside, however, footage shows that he encouraged other rioters to "get a ram" to breach another entry point. The affidavit notes that he later assaulted at least one police officer by "running through the crowd towards the officer, reaching out grabbing the officer's face shield, which forced the officer's head and neck backwards and upwards".

That’s decidedly not very panda-like, for shame.

How is this an actual headline? I feel like I'm losing my mind here!

I love how folks keep dropping dimes on these assholes.

> According to court documents, Mr Rumson was identified by the FBI after receiving a tip and reviewing footage that showed him putting on and taking off the panda mask while on his way to the Capitol, with his face in full view.

And he’s gonna enjoy at least 2 years in federal prison for this stunt:

No more guns for him.

Also I love the idea that this dumb fuck spent two years watching others get slowly arrested and charged, hoping he'd get away with it -- and finally having the FBI show up with the receipts and felony charges.

I'm waiting quietly and patiently for my cousin's time to come. Reported him myself when this all happened.

Edit: LMAO This apparently touched someone's nerve. Thanks for the "concern" ping.

This just sent a strong wave of fear into the traitors who haven't been caught yet. The guy whose identity was completely hidden has now been caught. Only a matter of time until they arrest the next one.

I love that 2 years on and they are still arresting these dumb fucks. Just when they think they got away with it another arrest gets made public reminding them that they are still being hunted.

The shirt says 天滅中共 or tiān miè Zhōng Gòng (Heaven destroy the CCP). I looked the phrase up online as I hadn't heard it before, and no surprise, these shirts are available from the Epoch Times -- who, as the propaganda wing of Falun Gong, has been extremely supportive of the Trump administration, mostly because he's anti-China (and therefore the CCP?). The panda head must then be some kind of weak commentary on China, but who has any idea what it could be.

I like how the January 6th coup attempt (domestic terrorism event that aimed to end democracy in the US) was planned months in advance by Republicans and was only the final part in their otherwise soft "legal" coup attempt in the courts; and yet, media and history will forever recall the event as a "riot".

What other types of riots were planned like this?

Did the BBC or other news writers even watch the Jan6 House Committee hearings at all?

They arrest these people that were whipped up into a frenzy by a former president that stole top secret documents. Why are the regular schmucks the only ones doing prison time? I'm not saying they shouldn't, I'm saying Trump should even moreso than these sheep.
