Jan. 6 defendant Luke Bender was arrested in Fairfax, Virginia, yesterday. Case unsealed today. He was wearing the same attire in the Senate chamber as he wore in his posts on TikTok. A colleague and a high school tipped off the FBI.

I get so sick of people thinking they deserve leniency because they've become religious. I don't care what religion they claim to have found, it shouldn't make a difference in their punishment. But it especially galls me when they try to get a lighter sentence for becoming Christian because Christianity holds that you can be forgiven *by God* (not necessarily by man) if you're truly repentant, part of which includes (at least from what I was taught) accepting the consequences of your sinful actions, which is exactly what they're trying to avoid.

Y'all can talk to Dog when you get there, but right now, we're gonna lock you up for awhile to see if your epiphany thing sticks.

Man pleads guilty to Capitol attack months after shooting

A North Carolina man who stormed the U.S. Capitol while free on bail for an attempted murder case pleaded guilty Thursday to attacking police officers with a pole attached to an American flag during the mob's riot.

Matthew Jason Beddingfield, 22, appeared to flash a Nazi salute toward the Capitol after attacking officers trying to protect the building from rioters on Jan. 6, 2021, according to federal prosecutors.

Beddingfield was one of the first rioters to jump over barricades and confront law enforcement at the Capitol’s West Plaza, where he attacked officers with his flagpole and threw a metal rod at police, prosecutors said.

“There is a connection in Beddingfield’s white supremacist views and the physical manifestations thereof and his violent acts,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Murphy wrote in a court filing last year.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols is scheduled to sentence Beddingfield on June 22. He pleaded guilty to one felony count of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers, according to the U.S. Attorney's office for the District of Columbia.

Entering the Capitol through the Upper West Terrace door, Beddingfield marched around the building while waving his American flag before thrusting his flagpole at a riot shield during a skirmish between rioters and police, prosecutors said.

“Video evidence shows that Beddingfield actively participated in and was present for much of the violence that initiated the Capitol siege and emboldened the mob,” Murphy wrote.

Prosecutors had sought to keep Beddingfield jailed after his arrest, saying he has a “penchant for matching violent words with violent acts.” A judge ordered his release from custody over a month after his February 2022 arrest.

Several months before the Jan. 6 riot, authorities in Johnston County, North Carolina, arrested Beddingfield and charged him with attempted murder stemming from a December 2019 shooting in a Walmart parking lot.

Individual-1 seems attractive to petty criminals.

Significant: DOJ seeking a terrorism enhancement for Jan. 6 rioter John Douglas Wright, who explicitly wrote before the attack that rioters would "HAVE TO FIGHT THE BLUE" and "DRAG" elected officials "OUT" of Congress.

Wright took two buses full of 100 MAGA fans from Ohio to DC.

I can't believe this person is still unknown.

Pipe Bombs in D.C.

The FBI and ATF are offering a combined reward of up to $490,000 for information leading to the location, arrest, and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the placement of pipe bombs in Washington, D.C., on January 5, 2021. The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) of Washington, DC, is also offering a reward of up to $10,000. The reward offered by MPD is solely governed by their terms and conditions. The total reward amount is now up to $500,000. View videos, photos, and additional information.

It took like seventeen years to find the Unabomber.

[sugar magnolia]

The Unabomber was my first thought too. And 21 years and multiple task forces to catch the Green River killer. The "lone wolf" types are the hardest to catch, and some never are.

The Unabomber wasn't found until his brother read the manifesto and recognized the sentiments expressed and how they were expressed made him think this must be his brother. I really wonder if he would have been found if that hadn't happened.

If the person who left these devices worked entirely alone, (s)he may never be identified. If there was an accomplice, it could possibly increase the likelihood.

[Gregg]

Whoever it is, I bet they get a little nervous every time they look at their phone and see a story about it....

The Unabomber wasn't as far as I know caught on multiple cameras in a metro area, walking past pedestrians, with many movements and times recorded. S/he wore oversized shoes and bundled up as much as possible to avoid recognition, but still surprised no one's recognized the walk, gait, etc. I assume they are getting leads and am reconciled to not knowing, but still surprised.

Seriously. It is almost impossible to break into a house in the suburbs anymore without being caught on 15 Ring doorbell cameras in the neighborhood, then the car you go into tracked 21 miles down the interstate to where you went. I have read that London is the most camera watched city in the world but you'd think DC would be at least close.

I’m sure a lot of these dipshits who stormed the Capitol use God to rationalize their actions.
