I thought we could use a separate thread for all 1/6 related news and happenings so it doesn't get lost in the regular weekly threads.

And the FBI is arguing internally about whether they should charge everyone they've identified even if they weren't violent? Fuck yes. Charge every single one. They deserve it.

I feel that if you were in the building, you should be charged On the grounds at any point past the fences that were blocking entry would be my line. Looks like I’m very “get off my lawn” about this.

I read that another MPD officer died by suicide. Which makes my stomach flip, because what trauma did they see that we still don't know about?

Either guilty that they let their whole govt down and didn't do their oath sworn job well enough or that they opened a door they shouldn't have.

All the evidence seems to indicate they were fighting hand to hand for *hours,* in some cases. I don't think that was part of their training. There was no backup. I expect getting mental health for PTSD is difficult. AND, we know that black officers were not only physically attacked but had people screaming racial epithets at them.
That's a lot of trauma.

Either guilty that they let their whole govt down and didn't do their oath sworn job well enough or that they opened a door they shouldn't have. Please don’t try to guess what they felt. Families are still reeling from losses with no answers. It’s been very painful to watch someone’s whole past get drug up and examined like it was their fault the riot happened. It wasn’t, we don’t know know why these officers have taken their lives.

Oh, absolutely. I understand that. It's more that I'm thinking, this is what the Senate needs to see. And honestly Americans*. Every single damning detail that shows that this was not a little fracas, no harm, no foul. Illustrate in irrefutable detail that this was an armed attack on the seat of government with photos and video and DMs. *Not the officers or their families.

That it wasnt just they broke thru lines and messed up papers and took selfies. They stole stuff, ruined things, pissed on our country, and hurt the people we as a nation hire and pay to protect our capitol.

I haven't heard much more about this then just that these messages were received. Has there been any statements about figuring out where these messages came from?

Almost literally considering they did that (defecated too) in the halls of the Capitol. It's beyond disgusting and disgraceful.

The DC Acting US Attorney said they're trying to charge sedition in several cases, which carries a 20 year maximum imprisonment Its also worth noting that the charge carries a mandatory minimum of 5 years, which is rather unusual to be sentenced below a mandatory minimum (of a judge can do this). Unlike state laws, federal minimums are trickier to get around.

Well, the guy who I posted about previously who lives not far from me that was part of the Capitol raid was arrested and his house raided at 6 AM this morning. He apparently lives across the street from MH's boss's mom.
