In 2020, it's estimated that the riots following George Floyd's death while in police custody caused $1 billion to $2 billion in damages. That number doesn't even include the people killed and long-lasting fallout from destroyed businesses and communities. The FBI made almost no effort to investigate that portion of the damage that took place on or against federal property. However, when a few hundred people walked through the United States Capitol on January 6 (apparently after Capitol police waved them in), the FBI went into hyperdrive. Writing at the New York Post, Miranda Devine has the heartrending tale of how the FBI went all-out to destroy the life of a man who never entered the Capitol.
Devine explains that, before the FBI went full Stasi on 69-year-old Joseph Bolanos, a resident of New York's Upper West Side, he 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.
However, in a very Democrat-heavy region of New York City, Bolanos, who is also a registered Democrat, was that rare thing — someone who liked Trump's policies. On January 6, he was in Washington, D.C. to hear Trump's rally. He never entered the Capitol, though. Instead, he had video proving that he was some ways away from the events

>> the FBI went full Stasi
Imagine that.
Our ENTIRE GOVERNMENT is CORRUPTED by DEMOCRATS!!!
This whole f’n thing is the bottom of the ‘slippery slope’ that Liberals threatened all of US with for so long!!
That’s heartbreaking
Floyd: $1,500,000,000.
Jan 6: ..........$1,500,000.
One THOUSAND TIMES MORE DAMAGE for a porn star junkie than the Constitution.
F’in FIBBERS.
I don’t think they’ve reached the bottom until every Trump supporter is in PRISON!
Boasting to a neighbor you were in the capital was dumb. Majority of arrests were made by people bragging on social media or by some family member or friend turning the person in after bragging about what they did. Keep your mouths shut people!!!
the fbi hasnt been this energized since bubba’s garage noose
Last night one of my libtard roommates said he was looking for Plutonium to build a bomb. Of course, he was just... joking.
I told him in no uncertain terms that he needs to keep his mouth shut & not even joke about such a thing because if the Fibbers ever come asking questions I will definitely be answering them with the aim of keeping the fbi off my own back.
I think he’s basically too dumb to be on any FBI radar.
So much for the 99% of the rank-and-file FBI agents being honest and good. If I hear that one more time, I’ll join my cats and puke on the carpet.
Good advice. People can be so dumb. Sadly party affiliation doesn’t prevent this.
RE: Boasting to a neighbor you were in the capital was dumb.... Keep your mouths shut people!!!
What’s illegal about being in the Capitol?
Our constitution guarantees the right of citizens to protest for the redress of grievances.
If we have to keep our mouths shut for doing something that our constitution guarantees, then we have ceased to be Americans. Might as well adopt the Chinese system now.
I guess we’re seeing what’s wrong with it. Typically they have procedures in place for entering the capital. Forcing the door open and breaking windows is not typically the way to go about entering. And if you happen to go in, then don’t say you did.
The Federal Bureau of Incrimination And Sedition (FBIAS) has become the DNC Stasi.
If we ever get control of the government again, we need to disband them.
Democrats could not have corrupted our entire government without the assistance of their Assistant Democrat pals in R jerseys.
I just read in the local press this morning that the FBI had arrested two people this morning here in Jacksonville. I don’t know anything about them, such as age, etc., except that they are a married couple.
The FBI did thoughtfully tell the press their names, of course.
That way, even if they did nothing, they can still get fired, get their house trashed, have their kids harassed at school, etc.
Did they show up with a bearcat and an army of SWAT troops so as to make an impression. Their whole thing is to scare other people from reacting to this crap shoot we are in right now.
Hi idiot,
It’s our right as citizens to be in our own capital. Saying you were there is not ‘boasting’.
