      XPost: alt.politics.clinton, alt.america, alt.gossip.celebrities       XPost: alt.fan.sean-hannity       From: bksherman@loser.piece.of.shit              (Reuters) - Federal agents arrested two more Capitol Hill       rioters whose images had gone viral, of one carrying off the       House speaker’s lectern and another who wore horns and a fur       pelt, while a top Democratic lawmaker called on mobile carriers       to preserve social media content related to the carnage.              Dozens of people have been charged following the storming of the       Capitol on Wednesday, with the FBI asking the public to help       identify participants, given the proliferation of images of the       riots on the internet. Five people have died, including a police       officer.              Jacob Anthony Chansley, who featured prominently on social media       wearing horns, a fur pelt, face paint and brandishing a spear       adorned with the U.S. flag, turned himself in to police, the       Department of Justice said.              Chansley, also known as Jake Angeli, called the FBI’s Washington       office on Thursday and later told agents “he came as part of a       group effort with other ‘patriots’ from Arizona, at the request       of the President that all ‘patriots’ come to D.C. on Jan. 6,”       the DOJ said in a release.              Federal agents also arrested Adam Christian Johnson, whose photo       as he smiled and waved as he carried off House of       Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern also went viral.       Johnson, of Parrish, Florida, also streamed live video on       Facebook of himself as he walked the halls of the Capitol,       according to the Tampa Bay Times.              The video has been removed from online platforms and all of       Johnson’s pages have been taken down.              On Saturday Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat who is the incoming       chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote to the       chief executives of 11 mobile carriers and social media       companies, urging them to preserve content and associated meta-       data connected to the riot, which erupted as lawmakers gathered       to certify the election of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden.              In his letters, Warner emphasized how the rioters took time to       document the event and share it through social media and text       messages “to celebrate their disdain for our democratic process.”              Before his arrest, NBC network reported, Chansley gloated about       how the crowd infiltrated the Capitol, forcing lawmakers to flee.              “The fact that we had a bunch of traitors in office, hunkered       down, put on gas masks and retreat to their underground bunker,       I consider that a win,” he said to NBC News.              https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-police-       investigation/more-capitol-rioters-in-viral-posts-arrested-       senator-urges-social-media-providers-to-keep-data-idUSKBN29E0JC                      --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
