The Hill ^ | 09/13/2021 | MYCHAEL SCHNELL

A California man was arrested near the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters early Monday morning after Capitol Police found a bayonet and machete in his car.

Donald Craighead, 44, was arrested for possession of prohibited weapons after a Capitol Police officer pulled him over and found the weapons in his truck, which are illegal in Washington, D.C., authorities noted.

At around midnight on Monday, Capitol Police said a Special Operation Division officer who was on patrol pulled over a Dodge Dakota pickup truck outside DNC headquarters that had a swastika and other white supremacists symbols painted on it.

It’s amazing to me that whenever someone on the far right is arrested for a criminal act, the response from a lot of people here is “false flag!” or “FBI plant!” but when a far left person is arrested the response is mostly one of support because obviously THAT person is guilty. It’s just strange to see. I’m sure people on the left-leaning websties do the same thing. Oh well.

There is a USCP (US Capital Police) Police Station for their vehicle Patrol Division (you can’t miss all the USCP Crown Vics parked outside) located at the corner of South Cap. & E Street SW (located in the Fairchild Building) caddy corner from DNC Headquarters.

The DNC sits basically on top of the Congressional House Office Buildings (1 block away).

Details are clearly missing. Willing to bet they saw the vehicle back near 695/395 and just happened to pull them over right by DNC HQ.

This is so much like the SS using the excuse of one Jew being a violent criminal to round up hundreds and kill them in Germany at the start of the Holocaust.

In America the threat and daily crimes from teens and urban types could be an excuse. But nothing is done——because we don’t blame all for actions of a few.

Not so with allegedly out of control domestic superpatriot white racist terrorist conspirators. Who seem to be ALL of the white people in the country somehow.

But G.W.Bush scolded us all in his speech so we’d better shape up fast.

Hmmm. DNC HQ. I understand the situation but don’t see the problem.

That’s it! Gotta lock down the entire Capital, fence it up now! And start an inquiry into these domestic terrorists. It’s for the children and “our democracy” of course!

“swastika and other white supremacists symbols painted on it” that’s how you know it’s legit. /s

And MYCHAEL, not MAX, SCHNELL reported it.

"...a swastika and other white supremacists symbols painted on it."

Curious as to what "other" white supremacists symbols he had on his truck. And who would be hanging around the DNC headquarters that a deranged individual would be targeting? Is it like the Moose Lodge where anyone of note might stop in for a while, hang out at the bar and play some cards?

Yes. A real serious case would, of course drive around in a truck without a license plate.

The guy is a nut case.

Was the Bayonet attached to an M-1 Carbine?

If the guy was Mexican, what's the problem with having a Machete? The guy is probably a Gardener for some Rich Democrat Politician.

Totally believable that someone is driving around with swastikas and other “white supremacist” symbols (whatever those are) in DC. So totally believable this isn’t a set up because our government is so honest,

There’s a guy doing 68 plus years in a federal prison over the 2014 Bunkerville Standoff following his rigged trial.

Before Bunkerville Greg Burleson was out supporting southern border security when the FBI recruited him as an informant to watch left-wing protests.

The FBI watches all groups the Establishment considers a threat using people like Greg Burleson who end up getting arrested by the FBI in the end on rigged charges and doing hard time.

Don’t be fooled if they approach you and appeal to you to do their work spying on anyone even groups on the Left you don’t like.

You may just end up in prison when its all over.

Even if this guy is a real right-wing nut job, compare him to a typical weekend’s work in Chicago from black street thugs: 20-50 shot and several killed. Which is worse, but which will receive 98% of the media attention? Which will our vaunted law enforcement agencies say is a bigger menace?
