FLEETWOOD, Pa. – On a hot Wednesday afternoon, a section of Main Street in Fleetwood seemed fairly calm, but hours earlier, it was filled with federal agents taking Alan Byerly into custody.

According to a criminal complaint complete with multiple images of Byerly donning a Kutztown, PA knit hat, he assaulted a number of Metropolitan and Capitol police officers and an Associated Press photographer.

Alan Byerly can be seen charging through the crowd on that now infamous January day in Washington, D.C., with what the feds say is a taser-like device. The images caught the eye of an EMPLOYEE at a FLEETWOOD BUSINESS and that's when she alerted police.

The charges against Byerly in a June 25 complaint include assaulting a federal officer, obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds

According to WP:
"Fleetwood, also called Schlegelschteddel in Deitsch, is a borough in Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 4,085 at the 2010 census. It was home to the Fleetwood Metal Body company, an automobile coachbuilder purchased by Fisher Body and integrated into General Motors in 1931. The name lived on in the Cadillac Fleetwood automobile."

After watching the video, I've seen more civil unrest at a football game when the fans tore down the goal posts after a big win than what transpired at the Capitol by those protesting the stolen election.

Someone will, eventually. People can only be pushed so far.

She would have made a good little Nazi.

One which apparently was not used in any taser-like manner?

And who is Bob Fitz, and what is his expertise?

“ and an Associated Press photographer.

Every dark article has a silver lining*

I just happened to be reading Mark Steyn’s column on this...

“Meanwhile, The Daily Beast has new details of the painstaking plans that went into the most insurrectionally insurrectional insurrection ever. Normally we’d use the Fox News Alert sting to bring you this headline, but in the entire history of music there are no notes and chords dramatic enough to convey the full horror of this breaking news:

‘Riot Leader Had ‘Fully Constructed U.S. Capitol Lego Set’ at Home, FBI Says’

“Dozens of crack G-men from the FBI descended on the home of a Pennsylvania man – Robert Morss, 27 - alleged to have plotted the insurrection in league with Donald J Trump, Robert E Lee, and others, and discovered as Exhibit A in the forthcoming show trial that he had a fully finished Lego set of the Capitol Building...

“By the way, anyone twelve or older – 27, in the case of Mr Morss - can just go online and buy this Lego set. You don’t need a government permit or anything.”

Was there ever much attention paid to the January 20 2017 D.C. rioters?

About time!

He and his fellow White Supremacists laid siege to the capital for 100 nights in a row, remember? They burned and looted everything in their path, destroyed businesses, set up “autonomous no-go zones” and physically attacked police.

Oh wait...that was Seattle and Portland where BLM and antifa are allowed to do that without consequences.

Never mind.

I thought all of those who attacked law enforcement at the Capital had been arrested some time ago.

FLEETWOOD is about an hour away from Philadelphia where there was real violence all last summer. Even Reading had violence. Jan. 6 didn’t come close to that. I’m not too far from FLEETWOOD.

No. FBI is hunting for people in my area of PA. The FBI knocked on the door of a friend of mine. She organized 7 busses that went to DC that day. None of her people went into the Capitol.
