Tesla, X, and Space X CEO Elon Musk condemned the arrest of Siaka Massaquoi, a California-based actor and activist, who was arrested at the airport over the weekend while returning home from the premiere of Daily Wire’s Lady Ballers.
Massaquoi — who has contributed to the conservative news site Red State and appeared in videos for Prager U Daily Wire and other outlets — was arrested on four misdemeanor charges related to “trespassing” and “parading” in the Capitol on January 6. For these crimes, Massaquoi was arrested in front of his pregnant wife and perp-walked through the airport nearly three years after the January 6 Capitol protests.
According to California-based activist Lori Mills, Massaquoi was placed in shackled and leg irons before being arraigned alongside drug dealers and violent criminals. The FBI previously raided his house in the weeks following the protests, though charges were not brought until two years later.
Massaquoi’s arrest has sparked outrage among conservatives and drawn attention from Elon Musk, who wrote “this has gone too far” in response to a news report on his arrest.
“I couldn’t believe this when I heard it. This political persecution can’t be allowed to continue,” said the Babylon Bee’s Seth Dillon. He then linked to a GiveSendGo fund for Massaquoi’s legal defense, which has raised $44,101 in donations as of this report.
In total, the Biden Department of Justice has charged more than 1,400 Americans over the January 6 Capitol protests and minor riot. The FBI continues to utilize pre-dawn SWAT raids for non-violent trespassers while at least four defendants have committed suicide over the excessive charges they were facing.
No similar measures have been used against left-wing protesters who stormed the White House and dozens of federal buildings across the nation during the Black Lives Matter riots in 2020.
Parading?
But not our little Richard. Oh, no.
When you’re not thumping them pagan
skins...
...you’re tormenting your eyes with
that rubbish.
Books are good.
Parading’s better.
Parading?
Parading the streets...
...trailing your coat, bowling along,
living!
Musk really likes the Babylon Bee, and the censorship of it helped spur him into action on Twitter/X.
The actor who was arrested is from Babylon Bee. I think he was the one who played the husband in the mini-series of the couple moving from California to Texas. He was won over to the Texas way when he was sneaking barbeque around the corner hiding from his vegan wife. (She was won over when she found out she was a crack shot at the hooting range).
This arrest got Musk’s attention, and I think he will act on it. He’s easily distracted, but has the ability and resources to succeed at those things he focuses on.
Those banas need to be rotten like the politicans.
Some people in our old church had planned to go. They cancelled their plans for no particular reason, are are glad they didn’t go.
I really like this guy. Funny as heck in the Bee’s Cali to Texas vids.
Matt Bracken / Travis McGee / a freeper, warned the FR forum that the venture/protest, was a trap, using a buffalo jump that western Indian tribes used to drive stampeding herds of buffalo off cliffs to their deaths, as an example of what was going to take place in DC on Jan 6th.
By the time I got to the street surrounding the Capitol Bldg. I had a plan in place to stay on the opposite side of the street to avoid stepping foot anywhere on the property.
Any SCUM TRAITOR FED GOV POS reading this post- BURN IN HELL!
The biden administration has ordered his gestapo to get the man for being in Washington on Jan 6, for being conservative, and for being in a Babylon Bee video.
The USA, a once-great country, is now a fascist dictatorship.
Oh, you mean like they moved on from the border, national debt, and refusing to put an end to America being the world cop and global welfare agency?
How long before they start arresting people for watching live feeds of it online?
July....................
When they came for Siaka Massaquoi, a California-based actor and activist, I did not object because I was not a actor activist.....
Sound familiar ?
He could bring in Wray, hold him in CONTEMPT of CONGRESS, and JAIL HIS ASS, just to bring him back before the Committee every single day in an Orange Jumpsuit, Leg Irons and Shackles...to resume testimony...
But your point is fallacious, because we’re talking Republicans, here. But as we all know, Republicans wouldn’t stoop to doing anything like this, as we are far above any retaliatory behavior; it just wouldn’t be prudent! So what if the Constitution demands it? We Republicans have ethics! We turn the other cheek! All four of them!
What happens when it goes too far? Do we send in a strongly worded ballot or what?
We send in the incorruptible FBI, backed by the even more incorruptible Justice Department. Since neither exists, then nothing.
Re: 27 -
Sadly, many FReepers were not buying it, instead urging FReepers to go, some while they themselves stayed home.
He's over the target, he's getting the Trump treatment.
That's the way it used to work - when the men with guns were neutral.
The Gestapo was waiting. Meanwhile two of the three BLM thugs who burned down a Wendy’s in Atlanta in June of 2020 got 5 years probation and a $500 fine.
Or a police station or courthouse.
