Notes from the Resistance
What would happen if an ordinary citizen had opened fire on car thieves? What is the likelihood he would not already have been arrested? Should the agent(s) be treated any differently? [More]
Or as Capt. Bryant said in Blade Runner, “You know the score, pal. If you’re not cop, you’re little people.”

A Washington, DC, 13-year-old juvenile was shot and killed during an attempted carjacking of a federal officer … One of the juveniles was “holding his hand in his front waistband pocket, as if he had a handgun,” a statement by police said. [More]

There were multiple weapons and the materials to make some kind of explosive device akin to a Molotov cocktail, but it had not been assembled, according [sic] law enforcement officials familiar with the details. [More]
What kinds of “weapons”?
Everyone realizes if they have a gas can in the garage, an empty bottle, and a rag that they have bomb-making materials according to this “standard”?
This “story” sure is long on innuendo to smear all election integrity-doubting “insurrectionists” as violent nutjobs and short on substantiation.
If I didn’t know better, I’d think this was just another instance of low-hanging fruit federal kabuki theater for headlines.

Rasbach said the female police officer insisted that the performance is considered a demonstration, and that demonstrations in the U.S. Capitol are banned. She later said some people were offended, though Rasbach doubted her claim.
