Andrew Williams, a firefighter-paramedic with the Sanford Fire Department, appeared in federal court Tuesday and was released on a $25,000 signature bond, according to the court documents.

They are really coming down hard on dissent, trying to send a message to the rest of us.

And they are. Just not the message they think they are sending.

Selective prosecution.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of BLM/ANTIFA terrorists roam free among us after destroying $$Billions$$ in property.

The current system is that government (Deed State) is largely composed of civil servants. You can’t fire them. You can’t purge them. You can’t indict them, charge them with perjury, and anything like that. The government can work openly against the elected President, and there is nothing you can do about it. The government is untouchable.

The People?

Oh, that’s different. If those suckers get out of line, they will be destroyed. It’s easy. Real easy.

And his lawyer says:

“The President and the Capitol police encouraged despicable behavior,”

“ Arrested for being allowed in the building by capitol police”

His defense appears to be “the President made me do it.”

I will, but they won't like which way I'm bowing.

Or that my pants are down.

Will have a hard time prosecuting..... several entrances were opened by Capital Hill Police and they stood by them not trying to stop the entry or deter people.

At that point, entry is “at-will”

Now the folks caught on camera breaking down doors and windows to gain entry and those who caused destruction or theft, can be arrested and convicted...

“riot insurrection pointing”, and he was armed with his arms, one of which he pointed with.

“Will have a hard time prosecuting..... several entrances were opened by Capital Hill Police and they stood by them not trying to stop the entry or deter people.”

At this time, the Florida firefighter is blaming President Trump.

In the end, they may not convict the firefighter, but his lawyers will drain his bank account.

Hell, I have a pic of Pelosi’s office entrance I took about 10 years ago. If I post this, will I be arrested. I am wearing the Gold or what ever it is called name badge or pass, or whatever it was called. My state rep’s office at the time, had an intern as.my family’s guide that day.

Pointing is probably now a “white supremacist” sign, just like the “OK” gesture. Speaking of which, I’ve noticed that almost 100% of the stories about the Capitol incident refer to those involved as “white supremacists.” Using that old false label in this instance in particular seems to be a really obvious sign of a pre-meditated, coordinated effort to push a narrative.

That one just stood out to me as so blatantly phony and disingenuous, just like their sudden discovery of the term “sedition.” My first thought when I heard these talking heads trying to use “sedition” was, “Hey, those are our words. You can’t use our words.” We can use the “s” word, but you can’t. It’s “linguistic appropriation.”

When I put my outrage over the whole thing aside for a moment, it is pretty comical watching these leftist media types try to look and sound so serious. as they suddenly find themselves assembling sentences and terms that would have previously only come from a “right winger.” They haven’t the foggiest idea what any of these words actually mean, and can barely use them correctly in a sentence, but they’ve been given their propagandist marching orders and they’re determined to make it sound like something of apocalyptic proportions happened here. But they just sound so ridiculous, like a little kid who just learned a big word, and is so proud of himself that he goes around repeating it to anyone who will listen, yet he obviously hasn’t the slightest idea what it means. THAT’s the media (and the leftist political class) right now.

The lawyers will take far more than $50k.
