Anybody know what this guy was charged with?

[IUCrazy2]

Seems a bit over the top if he wasn't involved in anything violent.

By the way, when conservatives talk about double standards and two tiers to the justice system, this is the optics they are talking about. Unless this guy killed someone or was an active threat to do so, then sending this kind of presence out to grab him is ridiculously over the top.

So WTF is this guy accused of other than protesting?

Assault on a federal officer.

Article I read said he picked up pepper spray and sprayed it at cap police protestors. Way over the top response

If he entered the Capitol during the incident, he was violent.

During the raid on the Capitol?

Bowlmania mentioned below that he was charged with assault on a federal officer. When the FBI went to serve his warrant, he fled.

What do you think happens when you're charged with assault on a federal officer and you make a run for it? I don't think it matters how you vote in that case.

Simply entering a building is not a violent act.

Simply entering a building is not a violent act.

Under force it is, and if you have a weapon, it certainly is.

This is what you said that I replied to.

What you said here was not part of that post

You moved the goalposts. You have to use the weapon to commit a violent act BTW.

Your side and people your side covers for do it too and more frequently in state capitols, supreme court nominations ect.

The "summer of love" federal officers and property were attacked by criminals on your side.

Forgive me for not detailing his entire rap sheet for you. It doesn't changes his charges just because I didn't enumerate all of them for you. How disingenuous are you?

Simply entering a building is not a violent act.

Context and location is important.

Walking into your local library when they're about to close is a minor inconvenience.

Joining a mob heading into the US Capitol that has intentions of overturning a US presidential election carries significant more weight.

If you think walking into the Capitol uninvited/unannounced is so ho-hum, I invite you to try at your nearest convenience. Unless you're on some sort of invited list, if you persist in trying to enter the Capitol after being told not to do so will get you shot. There is a precedent for this.

Apparently not disingenuous enough to equate “entering the building“ and “entering the building with a weapon.”

Put down the pipe and back away from the bar Bloom. You’re starting to stagger.

You don't need a weapon to commit violence, but simply entering a building is not violent even if you are uninvited. You must use our threaten physical force against a person or property. So trespassing is not violent, but B&E is.

I'm not talking about this guy specifically.

I am pointing out the first post of blooms I quoted. He said entering a building is violent. It is not a violent act by definition. Dem protesters enter government buildings and state houses and disrupt discourse way more often. They also attacked federal officers and damaged federal property in 2020.

Both side are culpable for protesting inside government buildings.

That's a false equivalence. And a glaring one at that.

Yes, several people have protested/trespassed in federal buildings for reasons that span the political spectrum. That much is true.

Being a part of a mob entering the US Capitol with the intent of overturning a presidential election - or at the very least impeding the process - is a big effin' deal.

Have you ever been to the Capitol?

Dem protesters don’t do it by breaking through doors and windows to enter. They walk through open, unlocked doors. I noticed you conveniently left out that important distinction as to what makes one a crime and the other just a protest.

He's lucky they didn't shoot him.

What I say doesn't change his official charges. I tried to keep it simple by saying he entered the Capitol. Then he went all Greg Brady on me.

Quick...call the Feds. Tell them Bloom. from Rivals said all he did was enter the Capitol!

It was dumb to do that, yes.

God you people are delusional. Dems or people that would vote dem if they could get off their ass have been violently protesting and burning cities for decades.
