DOJ Adds Charges Against Brothers Who Said They Shielded Rosanne Boyland on Jan. 6
The Epoch Times ^ | 1/16/24 | Joseph M. Hanneman

Posted on 01/16/2024 4:26:38 PM PST by CFW

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a superseding indictment with additional charges against two Minnesota brothers who said they acted to protect dying protester Rosanne Boyland from police at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The Jan. 12 superseding indictment charges Aaron James, 37, of Lindstrom, Minnesota, with nine criminal counts, an increase of one charge from the initial indictment filed against him on Sept. 29, 2021. Prosecutors added one count of civil disorder, a felony that carries a maximum prison term of five years. The indictment alleges that Mr. James obstructed Capitol Police during a civil disorder between 2:42 and 2:44 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021.

The original indictment charged Mr. James and his brother, Isaac Westbury, 21, also of Lindstrom, with civil disorder against Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) between 4:17 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

The superseding indictment also adds a dangerous-weapon enhancement to the charge against both men for allegedly engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds. The enhancement changes the maximum prison time for the charge from one year to 10.

“No matter how much you despise the DOJ, I assure you it is not enough.”

True, but our side also has to understand that the others, DeSantis and especially Nimroda DESPISE us just as much as DOJ does.

Despite the pendulum of power swinging back and forth with regularity over time the Demoncrats have gone about the last few years as if it will never turn against them again.

If their assurance of maintaining power is based on fact, which means the corruption of our system is nearly solidified, then we have to stoop to their lack of morals and fairness in order to remove their cancer for our nation's future survival.

Because it's become blatantly obvious they are so power-mad that there are no limits to the damage they will do to retain it.

Then there were two other elderly people who died of heart attacks. They might have been 'normal' attacks due to the excitement, but I believe at least one of them was 'brained' by a flash grenade (or tear gas grenade) that precipitated the heart attack. I'm not sure about the second individual. And sorry that I don't know their names. They were patriots for being there on January 6th to protest the stolen election.


(I think the word "elderly" is a matter of perspective.)

Kevin Greeson (age: 55) died of a heart attack; it's believed that this happened after a flash bang was fired nearby into the crowd.

Benjamin Phillips (age: 50) reportedly died of a stroke.

Actually that sounds like ‘youngsters’ to me. I heard ‘elderly’. Thanks for the names.

Who is the Capitol Police guy who pushed the protester off the ledge? Shouldn’t the cop be charged with attempted murder? Could have killed the guy, but the guy only broke his ankle, fortunately. Has anyone asked the cop why he reacted so violently and attacked the protester? The ledge seemed to be 10 or 15 feet off the ground!

Recall the video of the Capitol Police attacking the crown was not released until about a year after the first videos came out.

Everybody knows it is illegal to try to protect a human being’s life when a government goon is trying to take it.

Two men were also killed when Capitol Police tossed flashbangs into the crowd triggering heart attacks.

Has anyone interviewed the cop to ask why he was trying to hurt kill the protester?

This is a golden opportunity to post the video of her being beaten relentlessly while paramedics attempted to revive her. Let’s make sure everybody in America has this “seared into their collective memory.”

Also, what, may we ask, is this “deadly weapon” supposedly brandished while CPR was being administered? Kinda hard to do that.
