NYC firefighters spotted at Capitol during siege: FDNY

At least two FDNY members were spotted outside the Capitol on Wednesday as scores of pro-Trump supporters stormed the building in a siege that shocked the world, the Daily News has learned.

A retired member of the FDNY was photographed outside the Capitol wearing a Squad 252 jacket, a source with knowledge of the case said.

Another firefighter, identified by a separate source as Firefighter Michael Baranowski of Ladder Company 14 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, was also photographed at the Capitol, but was not wearing anything identifying himself as a city firefighter.

The department has sent any information they have on the two men to the FBI to investigate, an FDNY spokesman said.

Seeing stuff in Florida media about Florida LEOs and FFs being “investigated” for their attendance.

We are literally losing our freedom of assembly. I hope every single one of these investigations, esp. if they end in termination of employment, wind up in the courts for breach of first amendment right to assemble. This is fscking absurd.

Outside the Capitol?

So now there is something wrong with somebody protesting outside the Capitol?

“The department has sent any information they have on the two men to the FBI to investigate,”

Sorry, exactly why should the FBI be investigating these men for just going to exercise their right to freedom of speech?

All the MSM outlets must have got the memo to use “shocked the world” and what not in every article.

Investigated for standing *outside* the Capital? Reported to the FBI? And the crime is what exactly?

“siege”

Bahaha. That was the weakest “siege” ever. Just about everyone was unarmed and they were let in by the Capitol police. If they wanted to completely lock down the Capitol building, so no-one could get even close to the building, they would have done so. We all know why they didn’t!

What really was a “siege”, invasion, bombing by domestic terrorists was when Susan Rosenberg, who currently is the head of Black Lives Matters, and her pals bombed the Capitol building in I believe 1983. She was convicted and sentenced to 58 years. BJ Clinton pardoned, or commuted her sentence. Nice right? Not enough people know who she is, pass it on!!

Our politicians won’t listen. Our vote doesn’t count. What other options are there?

Of course. The media big shots and DNC have a conference call at least once a week to discuss and agree on the slant and wording for the week which is why you see the same wording and phrases such “shocked the world”.

I recall reading that somebody taped and then leaked the audio of one of the calls during Obama’s 2nd term. Partipants included all alphabet networks and members of the Obama Admin.

My wife and I attended a Trump rally in November, 2018. We were seen. Happily, we’re both retired, but who knows, our pensions might be a risk.

Just like “baseless accusations of fraud”.

They must repeat the same mantras over and over to satisfy their
cult bosses.

There is not one single original mind amongst the thousands of MSM journalists.

No more Menckens, Twains, Dorothy Parkers,Russell Bakers or Walter Lippmanns, or Bill Buckleys.

Modern journalists are simpering, brainwashed zombies without a single self-generated thought or decent, intelligent presentation.

Interesting how quickly federal investigators have identified persons inside the Capital. Expect swift indictments and show trials worthy of Stalin with wall to wall coverage by the leftist media. However those who burned down Minneapolis nine months ago have yet to be indicted let alone be brought to trial. I expect those rioters to get off scot-free.
