An Arkansas man has been arrested and charged Thursday in connection with an attack on a police officer during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

Peter Francis Stager has been charged with obstructing, impeding, or interfering with a law enforcement officer after hitting a uniformed Metropolitan Police officer guarding the entrance to the Capitol with a flagpole during last week's siege, according to a criminal complaint.

You’re wasting your time here. As far as these folks are concerned, everyone is antifa. Everyone is a traitor. All news is fake. If it didn’t come from Jim Hoft, some random blog, a chimpanzee, or a “Q-drop”, it can’t be true. Grab a pitchfork and join in the madness! That’s where the fun is!

Wow, second post before someone blames it on antifa.

I think what we are seeing is the result of frustrations brought on by the lack of a clear way forward.
It is easier to put the blame on antifa then it is to posit a positive next move.
History will remember the decisions we make in the comming days.

We can't play their game.
We can't be pulled in to their confrontations.
We can't react.
We need to be calm. Deliberate. Reasoned.

Be that voice among your friends and neighbors, lead by example and give hope.

Wrong. While leftist State’s AG or local DA’s may have dropped charged against the Antifa/BLM rioters, the US Govt, under the Dept. of Homeland Security, etc., has been identifying, arresting, and prosecuting them when they commit crimes against US property, agents, and federal laws such as crossings state lines to foment a riot/violence or other criminal conspiracy acats..

US DOJ or DHS offices post such information on the internet and many are reposted here at FR. There are more to come because the Soros Marxist shits (DAs and CAs) can’t interfere in a federal crime arrest process. Really pissed the Leftists off.

You wouldn’t need to, the FBI would be manning the technicals.

These Q people are seriously deranged and dangerous. The lawyer Lin Wood, who last I checked was still defended by some, posted “They let them in. Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST.”

There appears to be, at least, 2 noobs here trying to muddy the waters and redirect blame from where there is already evidence that this was a pre-planned situation (by the left, and who knows how far up that goes)...

Also possible that the 2 I am talking about could be the same person backing him/herself. It seems they both think alike.

Effing idiot noob. You must be some kind of DFFA. (Dumb F-ing Federal Agent).
Sure, hundreds were arrested. Booked and released, charges immediately dropped. And that was only the ones on the spot caught. They were driven to a processing center and walked right out the back door.

But they sure didn’t pursue them from one end of the nation to the other, put out wanted lists, dox them and get them fired, they didn’t bring in a division and a half of national guard to stop them.

F-Troop is full of $hit and you are defending them...why?

For extra credit explain why Capitol Police and FBI kneeled down in front of the BLM and antifa crowd.

You are a troll. I have never seen, except for actual terrorist attacks, such quick arrests by FBI etc. You are lying.

Not “our guys” but not necessarily “their guys” either. We knot “their guys” have hob-nobbed with “our guys” for months without raising suspicion.

Difficult to know who’s who until they’ve all been thoroughly investigated. Many that have been have been outed as Antifa but by virtue of evidence that’s been there for months.

Which explains how, in theory, even if the entire internet history of an ultra far right door headed paranoid schizophrenic who’s bounced himself all the way from Branch Davidian to MAGA over the years was there for anyone to read and at any time, we can rely on W and FR to do full diligence only after the damage has been done.

In fact, “we” won’t look at any of that until Q and FR desperately need to find some link to link that nutjob to Antifa but only after he’s been invited to a MAGA event and gone completely postal and caused the entire troop to be rounded up by law enforcement agencies.

We’re not interested in truth, we’re looking to deflect blame. So we can downplay three month’s worth of “he’s definitely one of us” from the local chapter of MAGA. They’re the ones who should be asking tough questions as to how an obvious Antifa agent was brought along for the ride.

Repeatedly. At numerous rallies, and protests, and finally at the Capitol.

Regardless of allegiance, everybody attacking law enforcement should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, without fear or favor. Lady Justice wears a blindfold for a very good reason.

On our side, we want patriots who are standing up for the Constitution and who are acting peacefully & proportionally to be treated sympathetically, leniently, with respect.

On the other side, there are plenty of angry people who also think that they are upholding “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and aren’t selling a revolution.

The protester who saved the life of an America First protester by putting his own life in harm’s way might have been in a BLM crowd, but that doesn’t make him automatically complicit in every violent action taken by Antifa on the day. If he was peddling hate he had a funny way of showing it.

There should be a unity of purpose between people like him, and Christians, Conservatives, pro-lifers, etc. who aren’t motivated by hate.

On both sides, there are thousands of people who go along to what they hope will be a peaceful, lawful protest in order to debate an issue of freedom. There will be other actors- from neo-nazi groups to Antifa false flag operators - who who are intending to commit crimes of violence.

The police must pursue the violent, unlawful criminal actors on both sides, and avoid getting involved in policing thoughtcrime on either side.

Anyone assaulting a cop should be arrested.
