FBI tears innocent New Yorker’s (69 years-old) life into shreds after Jan. 6
New York Post ^ | June 23, 2021 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 06/24/2021 12:33:39 PM PDT by White Lives Matter

Joseph Bolanos was a pillar of his community. President of his Upper West Side block association for the past 23 years, he looked out for his neighbors during the pandemic. He dropped off masks and kept extra heaters in his rent-controlled apartment for seniors. He raised morale with a weekly street dance to show his support for essential workers.

A Red Cross volunteer after the 9/11 attacks, the 69-year-old security consultant once received a police commendation for heroism after saving a woman from being mugged.

Unmarried, and caring for his 94-year-old mother, he was a well-loved character in the quiet residential area.

But now his neighbors think he is a domestic terrorist.

Yes, he attended then-President Donald Trump’s rally in Washington, DC, on Jan. 6, but he never entered the Capitol. He was in a friend’s room at the JW Marriott a 30-minute walk away when the Capitol breach occurred.

Nonetheless, he was raided in February by the FBI anti-terrorism task force, handcuffed, paraded and detained for three hours while his apartment was ransacked and all his devices confiscated. Four months later, he hasn’t been charged and doesn’t have his devices back, but his neighbors are shunning him, and he’s had two strokes from the stress.

“It’s destroyed my reputation,” he says. “I’m not a violent invader … I do not condone the criminality and violence on [Jan. 6] whatsoever.”

The FBI told Bolanos he was raided because of a tip to the Jan. 6 hotline from a neighbor who said he had overheard him “boasting” about being at the Capitol.

No matter where you live, your neighbors are not your friends.

Boast at your peril...

The neighbor is a Stasi informant.

The nazi neighbor’s identity is being kept secret. Bank on it. That’s how commies operate; in secrecy with lies.

That’s hearsay, not probable cause.

Neighbors and family.

The biggest threat to your life is other people.

Be extremely careful who you choose to deal with.

The alphabets paid the price under Trump. Now is payback time.

The Upper West Side is left of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Someone doesn’t like him.

Yup...don't know if you've ever seen "Other People's Lives" but I can see this guy being forced to sit on his hands just like in the film.

If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it.

These are dangerous times and the enemy is everywhere. Best to keep your mouth shut.

It may be left of Cambridge but not of Somerville (Slumerville).

Sometimes I'm not even sure about her. She spends way too much time online and watching TV. I think she's Q.

The FBI is the biggest and most vicious terrorist organization on the planet. They make ISIS look like rank amateurs.

It is so sad to witness what is happening to our country! How anyone can support the gestapo tactics of this democrat regime is beyond me! I hope that the sonofabitches have nightmares!
