Its only like 7 pages of relevant info, so skim through it. Moral to the story, don't use social media to document shady behavior.

Leave cell phones at home, take an older vehicle that doesn't have GPS, don't post anything about it online. Only go with people you know and trust. This advice applies to everything you do. Camping, fishing, etc.

Defrauding an Innkeeper. CA PC Sect. 537. I was the only one in the PoPo Academy to know it. Got accused by classmates of looking in the book (the pepole who sat next to me knew I didn't flip open the book). A couple of days earlier when I was bored I read it on the door of my motel room.

I'm reminded of a blog post I read a few months ago by some national of a South American country (I forget which) that had recently gone through civil war/upheaval/whatever and the author was a revolutionary in that turmoil.
Anyway, they described how they lived a double life. One persona is public and upstanding, productive, etc. The other persona is their revolutionary persona, with a different name, mannerisms, habits, etc. The two identities never crossed paths. They described how that was a normal and necessary tool for survival. Interesting read. That person sure was committed to their cause. |

Don't plan, commit and brag about criminal activities on social media? Also at least one anonymous source cooperated with the FBI.

So telling people something we knew all to well as tennagers during spring break is a punishable offense? What a joke. When you have to be scared of what you say on the internet you need your guns.

I am not surprised because I have practiced criminal law for most of my career, and the things people do openly and document never ceases to amaze me. Its not like these folks were talking in veiled threats or euphemism. Clearly there was some back and forth which can be characterized by "just talk" but these folks talked about it openly and then went and did the thing.

They're charged with conspiring to illegally enter a federal building and disrupt Congress. They documented most of their activities on social media. A local paper listed all the people arrested in NY. One guy posted a photo of himself holding a riot shield someone stole from a cop and there was a yellow cartoon hand pointing at him with "This is me!" It's bizarre that people thought they'd do this and no one would care. I know there was a lot of rioting this year but I still don't understand how people could openly plan to do this, show themselves doing it and not expect to be arrested.

But you can't post about your victories of storming the capitol building (forcing entry even) when you politely left when asked by the cops. People just have to be smarter about what they post. Kind of like here on arfcom. I can't say what I want, and neither can a lot of people. And frankly that's probably for the better because then they'd be visiting me at 6am with their armored vehicles. First step is to use secure comms. Second step is to organize IRL. Third step is don't post shit you'd go to jail for on social media. Not at least until you're winning/won. Nothing is fail safe. The CI or whoever he was working with the FBI, hard to weed those guys out. But I support the Patriots who showed up on the 6th. God bless them. Just be smarter about social media next time. |

Assuming we are talking about the same guy (the dude whose brother is a big trump supporter), I'm not sure if he was truly antifa himself. There are tweets from leftist groups made back in November warning other leftists not to associate with him. Basically saying it had been discovered that he was not authentically left wing and was just trying to infiltrate. The fact these tweets were made months ago rather than when he became the subject of controversy gives them some credibility |

Quote HistoryQuoted: so... they are more equal after all?... Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Really? We had 4 years of people doing just that up to and including assault and battery - where most were never caught and if they were were let go immediately or with a ridiculously Let's say I lose my shit today run down the street and throw a mackerel at the guys at the Chinese restaurant while wearing a mask. If tomorrow I see the Sheriff waiting in line for frozen yogurt with his kids and throw a mackerel at him there's going to be a lot more effort and resources spent in catching me. so... they are more equal after all?...

Quote HistoryQuoted: It is the utter failure to prosecute nearly ALL the BLM arsonists / rioters this summer which is bizarre to me. You wrote: “It's bizarre that people thought they'd do this and no one would care. I know there was a lot of rioting this year but I still don't understand how people could openly plan to do this, show themselves doing it and not expect to be arrested.” My take away is: private citizens & their private property don’t matter. But SOME animals are more equal than others. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: What establishment? You mean the hotel? They're charged with conspiring to illegally enter a federal building and disrupt Congress. They documented most of their activities on social media. A local paper listed all the people arrested in NY. One guy posted a photo of himself holding a riot shield someone stole from a cop and there was a yellow cartoon hand pointing at him with "This is me!" It's bizarre that people thought they'd do this and no one would care. I know there was a lot of rioting this year but I still don't understand how people could openly plan to do this, show themselves doing it and not expect to be arrested. I kind of understand guys getting caught up in the spur of the moment, but even then a bunch of sober middle aged guys? It is the utter failure to prosecute nearly ALL the BLM arsonists / rioters this summer which is bizarre to me. You wrote: “It's bizarre that people thought they'd do this and no one would care.

But SOME animals are more equal than others. The sad reality is that our betters in Congress don’t really give a fuck if some savages burn down Portland, or set fire to Philadelphia, or rampage around Baltimore or whatever. It doesn’t affect them in the slightest, and they can always do a photo op and pretend to care if someone asks. Hell, they don’t even give a fuck if the natives burn down the shitty parts of DC, as long as it’s nowhere near the nice part of town where they live and work. But if someone breaks into THEIR house (figuratively speaking) and threatens THEM? That is going to result in a ruthless and brutal crackdown, so that nobody dares to ever threaten them again. |

I read this, really vibing, and had to scroll up to see who wrote it, expecting Barnbwt or Greasyeasy etc ... And BAM. The DK. I truly don't know why, but I did not see that coming. |
