Perhaps someone out there is keeping track, I thought I’d ask the question: Do we have a list of those that have been arrested? I asked this question along with a few others in a previous post. It’s been 3 weeks as of time of this writing. And to expand:
• Are they in federation custody? (i.e. did they make bail?)
• Do they have legal counsel?
• Have any spoken out on their current legal status and/or defense?
• Have they been charged federally or by the state?
• Have court dates been set?
• Has their employment status been affected?
• And what about Ashli Babbit? Has a public attempt been made to even offer condolences to the family?
I could go on…
Fact is, with all the new flying around out here, and the current nature of those that have assumed power in Washington, there is a justified concern that if a watchful eye isn’t kept, some of these folks may ‘disappear’, i.e., getting lost in the federal system or worse – for merely accused of being present at a given location. Despite the opinions of some, each of these Americans are innocent until proven guilty. However, if the bellicose nature of those in power continues, and conflicts continue, these people could easily become “prisoners of war”.
Regardless of one’s opinion about the actions of January 6, 2021, I believe is it in the best interest of everyone to not forget about these people, or any of our fallen or captured. I’m not sure we know how many are in custody, and the FBI has been un-leashed to hunt for more. Who says they’ll stop at just those who may have entered the capitol?
This means there may also be innocent Americans currently on the run – not for breaking the law, but for exercising their First Amendment rights.
I believe having these names listed along with their statuses may also help folks appreciate the situation we’re in – not just something we’re going to fix by mandatory mail-in-voting during the next election cycle, or pointing fingers of blame. And one's solid legal defense actions could be used to help others.
These are our fellow Americans, people. They may be calling out for help. But with all the noise, few of us may be listening. Perhaps it’s time we start to "Say Their Names".
That is all.

I should’ve added that this should scare the heck out of all of us.
“I abhor all rioting.”
Nice try, fiddy cent.
I’m interested in how many of those wanted/arrested on the more serious charges actually have ties to leftwing groups, or if there were any help wanted ads for actors, activists in the time preceding the event.
If they had been radical Socialists or BLM, they would have had their charges dismissed within 24 hours.
The most serious charges are carrying a weapon into the Capitol, in one instance a stun gun.
Several people made verbal threats about elected officials.
Last I read, there had been about 75 arrests, and active searches for about 10 more.
From the very first day, I have estimated that no more than 100 Trump supporters went beyond the Capitol Rotunda.
For about an hour, many dozens of Trump supporters were walking around the Rotunda like tourists, inside the velvet ropes.
Later, there would be a violent Police versus mob confrontation when the cops tried to evict the last protesters from the Rotunda.
I note that Lenora isn’t posting her kookery here any more.
Has she been laughed off the site?
how righteous!
glad you were not around for the Boston Tea Party!
So, you are in favor of the propaganda the Capitol riot generated to discredit our calls for fair elections? Please tell me what the Capitol riot accomplished.
Here ya go..

A little birdie told me that they snatched the Carthage guy without assistance from local authorities. The birdie said the local police chief was informed after the fact, and the sherriff knew nothing about it. They were afraid of resistance from the locals.
there was no capitol riot ...
What riot are you talking about? You sound like CNN.
There was NO DAMN RIOT!! The fricking capital police LET THEM IN, and it was NOT Trump supporters who breached the building it was Antifa dressed as Trump supporters AND it was definitely planned on the INSIDE designed to GET TRUMP!! I put nothing past these BASTARDS!!!
Don’t screech at me with your excessive exclamation points. Screech at the poster who’s pushing that narrative if you must screech.
Joe is not there alright! We are watching a movie. I think I Know (I hope I KNOW) how it ends.
It wasn't a kid's party no matter who did it or how many exclamation points you use.
it was NOT Trump supporters who breached the building it was Antifa dressed as Trump supporters
How do you know for sure and what do Trump supporters dress like?
AND it was definitely planned on the INSIDE designed to GET TRUMP!!
Get Trump? He wasn't even there no matter how many exclamation points you use.
I put nothing past these BASTARDS!!!

Thank you.
