   Some of the rioters who stormed the US Capitol last week communicated with   
   each other through walkie-talkie social media app Zello, which has become   
   popular among militias, according to a report.   
      
   At least two members of the mob used Zello to talk with other people who   
   appeared to be inciting them from other locations, the Guardian reported,   
   citing audio and chat logs it reviewed.   
      
   “We are in the main dome right now,” a female militia member was heard   
   saying amid the mayhem, the outlet reported. “We are rocking it. They’re   
   throwing grenades, they’re frickin’ shooting people with paintballs, but   
   we’re in here.”   
      
   A male voice replied from a quiet location: “God bless and Godspeed. Keep   
   going.”   
      
   Another person was heard saying: “Jess, do your s—. This is what we f—-   
   lived up for. Everything we f—- trained for.”   
      
   The frantic exchanges took place at 2:44 p.m. Jan. 6 in a public channel   
   called “STOP THE STEAL J6” on the app, which claims to have 150 million   
   users and has avoided the proactive moderation of far-right rhetoric,   
   according to the Guardian.   
      
   Zello has been used by the Cajun Navy, a group of volunteers who aid   
   people stranded in storms, but is also home to more than 800 far-right   
   channels that appear to violate its policy that bars anyone who promotes   
   “violent ideologies,” the news outlet reported.   
      
   Zello said it was “prepared to take action on those,” adding that it was   
   working on a more elaborate response.   
      
   In addition to locking some public features that would help researchers   
   find more extremist content, the app had begun deleting some far-right   
   groups as of Wednesday.   
      
   Shortly after the Guardian posted its report, the company purged over   
   2,000 “channels associated with militias and other militarized social   
   movements.”   
      
   “It is with deep sadness and anger that we have discovered evidence of   
   Zello being misused by some individuals while storming the United States   
   Capitol building last week,” Zello wrote in a blog post, according to the   
   Guardian.   
      
   “Looking ahead, we are concerned that Zello could be misused by groups who   
   have threatened to organize additional potentially violent protests and   
   disrupt the US presidential inauguration festivities on January 20th,” it   
   added.   
      
   The Zello user referred to as “Jess” appears to be Jessica Watkins, 38, an   
   Ohio bartender who recently told the Ohio Capital Journal that she had   
   taken part in the siege as leader of the Ohio State Regular and Oath   
   Keepers militias, according to the report.   
      
   The Southern Poverty Law center says the national Oath Keepers — which   
   claims to have tens of thousands of law enforcement and military personnel   
   in its ranks — are “one of the largest radical anti-government groups in   
   the US today,” the Guardian reported.   
      
   The user’s Zello messages also bear a striking resemblance to posts on   
   Watkins’ profile on Parler, the controversial social media site that major   
   service providers have booted from their networks, according to the news   
   outlet’s research.   
      
   “Yeah. We stormed the Capitol today. Teargassed, the whole, 9,” she wrote   
   on Parler, the Guardian reported. “Pushed our way into the rotunda. Made   
   it into the Senate even.”   
      
   Her profile was one of thousands uploaded by a group of hackers to the   
   Wayback Machine, an internet archive, after the DC unrest.   
      
   “We have a good group: 30 to 40 of us. We’re sticking together and   
   sticking to the plan,” the female voice is heard saying on Zello. “The   
   police are doing nothing. They’re not even trying to stop us.”   
      
   Watkins, who told the Ohio Capital Journal that she did not believe she   
   had done anything wrong, could not be reached by the paper for comment.   
      
   “Once we go operational, this channel will just be for intel gathering and   
   organizing on the backside … All information, once verified, will be put   
   into the Telegram and then shared to boots on the ground from there,” a   
   user named “AmericanRev2” said in the password-protected channel “DC 3.0,”   
   the Guardian reported.   
      
   On Jan. 4, two days before the insurrection, a militia member said on   
   Zello: “How about if all of us stand the f— up, and take this s— back?”   
      
   He added: “I got a problem with f— patriots not growing a f—- set of g—-   
   nuts and standing the f— up, and kicking b— in the f— teeth. And shooting   
   m—- f—- in the f—- head.”   
      
   He then tried to walk back his incendiary remarks, according to the   
   report.   
      
    “I ain’t talking about doing anything illegal … I want y’all to know I   
   love you … I just wanted to incite enthusiasm,” he said.   
      
   In October, a joint investigation from On the Media and MilitiaWatch   
   revealed that Zello resisted calls to enforce its terms of service, which   
   bans “violent extremist ideologies.”   
      
   “Zello simply cannot actively monitor millions of concurrent discussions,”   
   the company told On the Media before it eventually banned some white   
   nationalist groups and users.
