The US Capitol was put in lockdown on Thursday while police negotiated with a man in a pick-up truck demanding airstrikes in Afghanistan to 'kick the Taliban's a**' and asking to speak to Joe Biden before he surrendered to police after a five hour standoff.
The man in the truck was 49-year-old Ray Roseberry from North Carolina. At 9.15am this morning, he drove his black pick-up truck onto the sidewalk outside the Library of Congress, opposite the Capitol building.
Congress is in recess so no elected officials are there but there are staffers who are still working in the Capitol buildings.
...
His wife told NBC that he had never voted in his life before Trump ran for office and that he was distraught over Biden's election victory last year.

Yep...it’s a man bun. Disgusting. Apparently there is no dress code now.
Do you remember where you read that article ?
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” - Thomas Jefferson
The FIBs would have him in cuffs for a long stay before trial.
How convenient, n'est-ce pas??
If the Capitol Police, in 2013, shot and killed a black mother as she was driving near the Capitol Building, with a baby in a car seat, why wouldn’t they shoot, and kill a white guy holding a possible bomb, while sitting perfectly still in a truck across from Capitol Hill? Unless of course, he’s one of their own.
That’s the plan. Basically a target rich environment.
/s, for those jerks at the FBI monitoring this stuff.
False Flag to take the away fro Biden.
Wow, amazing how that fit right into the DHS recent list of “terrorists”!
Was he an anti-vaxxer too? I’m surprised they didn’t work that one in.
Every “side” has it’s crazies. Only GOP voters get lumped all together as racists, etc.
Bull. They advertised for a terrorist and they got “one”...of their own plants
But no mention by this limey paper about Steve Scalise being shot at a Republican baseball game by a crazed Bernie Saunders supporter.
Bump
The FBI is among us and finds the most unstable so they can give them that “push” required to stage the event.
He has an ex-wife. I agree that his “wife” isn’t.
He tossed a bunch of cash on the street and had a truck full of coins.
Yeah, I have heard that. Dunno what to do about it, though.
I now don’t believe any this, all too pat and now a Trump supporter. Based on what?
Bull , a Trump supporter’s truck would be Clean
Yeah. Damn convenient timing, wouldn’t you say?
SecHS talks very nonspecific threats from extreme right.
President Biden gets himself in a tough political spot flubbing the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Then, just like magic, nutball from NC shows up and checks off nearly all the boxes for the left’s caricature of the stereotypical right wing extremist:
- white
- male
- Southerner
- shaved head
- big black 4wd pickup truck
- streams long, incoherent rant on Facebook.
- non-specific claims about revolution and the boys/patriots
- intricate bomb threat that forestalls use of force to end standoff
- non-specific stereotypic right wing talk loaded with insurrectionist jargon
- reported Trump supporter (“Oh Caesar, thou are mighty yet!)
- reported mental health problems
- surrenders peacefully “proving” he is just a cowardly blow hart.
- oh, no bomb. So he is a toothless cowardly blow hart.
I’m tempted to throw in anti-LGBT/POC rhetoric, scary black gun/guns and Confederate flag just to complete the checklist but didn’t actually see any photos/read any text on these.
I hope our bomber’s background is thoroughly investigated - but by someone not connected with the government. Maybe it’s a false flag. Maybe he’s the real deal, poor soul.
But the Capital is secure. Afghanistan is displaced momentarily from leading the news, the DHS, DOJ, and FBI can increase their efforts to ferret out all those dangerous right wingers, and President Biden can quietly sneak off to his home in Delaware where he can finally get a good night’s sleep.
Like I wrote at the beginning: damn convenient timing. Really damn convenient.
What to do?
Ignore this incident the way the MSM and WH ignore bad news for Dems. Refuse to be drawn into conversations that pull focus away from the colossal screw up currently unfolding in Kabul.
Answer all prompts to engage with:
“To avoid unhelpful speculation, I am withholding comment until all the actual facts are determined.”
Given the way DOJ conducts investigations these days, that answer should serve for anywhere between 9 and 24 months.
While he was live streaming he mentioned that he had a bomb which was set to go off at a certain decible and that shooting him would set it off.
I know just saying what he said.
