FBI Seeking Information Related to Violent Activity at the U.S. Capitol Building

My favorite of these guys was West Virginia state legislator Derrick Evans:<p>&gt;The video shows a crowd surging through a Capitol door, past security, while an alarm repeatedly blares. As Evans enters an area called National Statuary Hall he celebrates and states his own name: “We’re in! We’re in! Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!”<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wvmetronews.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;01&#x2F;09&#x2F;derrick-evans-resigns-w-va-house-after-entering-u-s-capitol-with-mob&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wvmetronews.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;01&#x2F;09&#x2F;derrick-evans-resigns-w-v...</a>

The one that&#x27;s really wanted is this guy.[1] This is someone in the Senate chamber with zip-ties. This is <i>not</i> the retired USAF officer who was arrested with zip-ties.[2] The person in [1] is thinner, in good shape, and wearing completely different tactical gear, along with a Punisher logo on an American flag.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;media.gettyimages.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;protesters-enter-the-senate-chamber-on-january-06-2021-in-washington-picture-id1294932395?s=2048x2048" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;media.gettyimages.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;protesters-enter-the-se...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;images.foxtv.com&#x2F;static.fox5dc.com&#x2F;www.fox5dc.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2021&#x2F;01&#x2F;764&#x2F;432&#x2F;zip-ties.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;images.foxtv.com&#x2F;static.fox5dc.com&#x2F;www.fox5dc.com&#x2F;co...</a>

The implications of this event keeps growing.<p>New video shows Capitol riot was way worse than we thought<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.msnbc.com&#x2F;all-in&#x2F;watch&#x2F;chris-99178053752" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.msnbc.com&#x2F;all-in&#x2F;watch&#x2F;chris-99178053752</a>

I&#x27;m surprised they didn&#x27;t just issue a geolocation warrant. Sure seemed to be a lot of phones out from the videos I saw.

Greenwald rang the alarm on this just yesterday.<p>Violence in the Capitol, Dangers in the Aftermath<p>From the Cold War to the War on Terror: the harms from authoritarian &quot;solutions&quot; are often greater than the threats they are ostensibly designed to combat.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;greenwald.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;violence-in-the-capitol-dangers-in-67f" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;greenwald.substack.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;violence-in-the-capitol-dan...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25686567" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25686567</a>

If anyone is looking for videos from the terror attack on the capitol, r&#x2F;datahoarder on reddit has a pretty solid collection.

Every one of these insurrectionists was carrying a smartphone. The FBI knows the identity of everyone in the area; it’s just a question of determining which ones illegally entered the Capitol grounds.

I understand why, but I&#x27;m still frusterated threads like this are flagged

I wonder what are they going to do with the info about that Antifa protest that was going on when they get it... Not much, if experience is anything to go by.

I spent an afternoon downloading stuff from right wing sites before it could be deleted and uploading it to the FBI. I hope it helps. Amusing that being so anti-mask makes it so easy for the FBI to identify the bad actors.<p>If you want to downvote rather than discuss I&#x27;m happy to burn karma for this.

funny how all the #resistance and #defundthepolice folks are actively working with the feds and law enforcement and cheering them on

I think people are upvoting this because they approve of the maximum penalty to anyone caught trespassing (or worse) in the Capitol building. This isn&#x27;t really relevant to Hacker News though. There is nothing interesting about the FBI investigating the most conspicuous federal crime in the past 5 years.
