Men Who Drove to Philly With Weapons During Vote Count Back in Jail After Capitol Riot

Two men arrested in November after they traveled to the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia where votes in the 2020 presidential race were being counted were sent back to jail after their bail was increased due to their participation in the rally near the U.S. Capitol that turned deadly earlier this month.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that no evidence was presented during Friday's combative hearing that 42-year-old Joshua Macias and 61-year-old Antonio LaMotta entered the Capitol building along with thousands of violent supporters of former President Donald Trump battled with law enforcement and ransacked offices. --SNIP-- Prosecutors also later added election fraud charges, and both defendants are now charged with interfering with an election, conspiracy and hindering performance of duty.

“violent supporters of former President Donald Trump battled with law enforcement and ransacked offices.”
Hyper-Journalism.

So they are in jail for exercising their right of free association.

This is fascism, folks. Not only can it happen here, it HAS happened here.

...thousands of violent supporters of former President Donald Trump

No bias there.

[doc maverick]

Only about 1% of Trump supporters are violent.
This story is operating off a false premise that “ all Trump supporters are violent.”
When Trump supporters ALL get violent, the swamp shit members will know it.

Not to defend these individuals but how did protesting a fraudulent election become election fraud?

Keep telling that lie. Too bad the Philadelphia Bulletin no longer exits.

“So they are in jail for exercising their right of free association.”

I looked up restrictions for people out on bail. In short, they are whatever the judge sets. In general, you are required to live at a particular address and may be required to be there all night. But other restrictions are possible. Violation of any restriction is a criminal offense. I am guessing that the defendants were restricted in their ability to travel. Probably in other ways as well.

Thousands of violent supporters? There’s no point in even talking to these people anymore...

[a fool in paradise]

Same injustice department that threw out this voter intimidation conviction (they didn't even put up a defense):

[a fool in paradise]

Has anyone shown that the Qanon madeup actor voted for Trump?

Has anyone shown that the BLM “reporter” who encouraged violence voted for Trump?

What about Rebel Flag guy? Richard Spencer endorsed and voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Sounds like the prosecutors are inciting a Communist Revolution.

[Olog-hai]

I’m getting tired of seeing that misnomer “Capitol riot” in headlines. It’s as misused as “travel ban” and “Muslim ban” were.

Only in 150% turnout Filthadelphia, the nation's capital of vote fraud...

They did not get their genital mutilation like gelded aculturated police. How unfair. They cannot have a gun.
