January 6 fugitive arrested in Obama’s neighborhood with guns and materials to make Molotov cocktails (referencing a Trump post w/Obama's address)
- Thread starter essentialsaltes
- Start date
Details, detail. We should ignore those minor issues if the sources tell me what I really wish were true. Even better if I get irrationally outraged in the process and it overrides my ability to rationally evaluate if what they're saying makes even the slightest bit of sense.You mean the ones being sued for defamation?

Older news, but I don't think the actual charges were posted before:
Taranto, 37, of Pasco, Washington, is facing two felony charges of carrying a pistol without a license and possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device. He was also charged with four misdemeanors tied to his involvement in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol breach, court documents show.
The [Jan 6] video was posted with a caption stating, "This is me "stormin' the capitol" lol I'm only sharing this so someone will report me to the feds and we can get this party rolling!"
The Jan. 6 rioter arrested near Obama's home with guns and ammo is indicted

Jan. 6 defendant arrested at Obama's home is hit with new felony charges
Online sleuths identified Taylor Taranto in 2021, but he was arrested only after he showed up near the former president's home with weapons in a van, prosecutors say.A federal grand jury returned a superseding indictment against Taylor Taranto
Three of the new charges relate to guns and ammunition that alleged to have been found in Taranto's van when he was arrested. Taranto also faces a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding for his conduct on Jan. 6, 2021. He also faces a charge of false information and hoaxes, accused of falsely threatening that he was going to set off an explosive at the National Institute of Standards and Technology before his eventual arrest.

I'm reminded of the Bundy Ranch standoff. I try to explain to my friends that there are, broadly speaking, two camps in the conservative movement. A few of the things they have in common are the love of the US constitution, and especially the first few amendments. It's one reason they tend to hate the cancel culture so much, and see the second amendment as the right of the people to defend themselves against a tyrannical government.
But here's the problem: One group is constrained by the love of Jesus. They are very slow to anger (via physical violence) and many would only act out in an extremely dire situation and strictly out of self defense. The other, though, is not so constrained. They are the ones that, if it is strongly enough believed that another election was stolen - or violent Islamic sympathizers are causing too much trouble through "side with Palestine" riots - would be willing to more aggressively act out in violence. And I think that will be a real risk this summer and next November. And if that does happen, nobody wins - at least in the short run.
as I've been asking friends for almost a year now, "What do you think the losing side will do after the November election in the US?" Whichever side loses, they've each hinted at an MO.
This perspective was actually the driving force behind adding the last line of my post signature below.
And I sometimes wonder if the film coming out on tax day, "Civil War", will not add fuel to the fire - though I do not advocate for "cancelling" it.
