Also arrested at the Capitol was William Arthur Leary, who owns a manufactured housing business in Utica, New York. In an interview Friday, Leary told the AP that he strongly believes the election was stolen from Trump and that he went to Washington to show his support.

Leary said he doesn’t trust information reported by the mainstream media and that one of his main sources of information was Infowars, the far-right conspiracy site run by Alex Jones. He denied he ever set foot in the Capitol and complained that he was held for more than 24 hours and had his cell phone seized.

“They treated us like animals,” he complained. “They took all our phones. I didn’t get to make a phone call to tell anybody where I was.”

Leary said he remembers seeing a woman, Kristina Malimon, 28, sobbing at the detention center because she had been separated and not allowed to translate for her mother, who primarily speaks Russian. Both women had been charged with curfew violation and unlawful entry. According to a video posted on her Instagram account, the younger Malimon says she was born in Moldova, where her family had faced persecution under the Soviet-era regime for their Christian beliefs.

1st breath: "I was treated like an animal."
2nd breath: "They took my phone."

Welcome to the real world, ya doofus!

2. They didn't read the rules for protesting.

Write the one call phone number on your arm in sharpie because they are going to take your phone. My poor nephew spent days in jail because of that. I’m going to guess he was also being a little smart ass.

14. Sorry I don't get it

Someone reads a phone number on your arm to call?
Like if you're dead they will know who to call?

[Phoenix61]

17. No, so when they take your phone you'll have it.

Young people don’t memorize phone numbers. They count on always having their phone.

[d_r]

19. oh gosh. wow. they don't even remember there most important numbers?

I mean I know no one remembers every number anymore. Wow, I didn't think of it.

3. Russians are always lurking around Trump and his people.

[Frustratedlady]

4. What did they expect, tea and crumpets?

These people are going to feel so lost when they find out their news sources are faux news. Alex Jones? OMG.

10. Flowers and hugs...

You know, like the Iraqi people greeted our troops during/after "shock and awe". Remember all the parades?


Me either.

12. Apparently animalboy thinks they serve organic food

5. Snowflake Alert!

Welcome to jail.

6. I guess they don't remember how people protesting Bush were penned into "free speach zones"

Oh, wait, yes they do. They were the people who laughed and pointed and laughed some more because that's what protesters deserve. When it's somebody else.

7. Really committed freedom fighters. These people needed arresting just to experiance reality.

[Midnightwalk]

8. That is an excellent article

It describes probably a dozen people arrested with questions and answers from them and family.

I like this about the suspiciously blinking green lights

Malimon also served as a Republican poll watcher in Georgia and spoke at an event organized by the Trump campaign in December, claiming to have seen voting machines and tabulation computers in Savannah, Georgia, with suspiciously blinking green lights she interpreted as a sign they were being secretly controlled by outside hackers

Looks like AP is the source.

11. Oh, brother.

These people are really stupid. Normally I would say gullible but that's too kind. My six year old grandchild wouldn't even believe that blinking green light theory.

9. So this Russian woman..

and her daughter get admitted to the country because they're being persecuted for their christian beliefs, but families from Central America aren't allowed in the country when MS13 has wiped out half their family, and promise to kill the rest. Oh, and the Russians don't have as much melanin in their skin either.

OK, I get it. More fucking hypocrisy from the Trump administration.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. Was he treated better than the children at the border?

[Blue Owl]

15. Oh FFS...

[Volaris]

16. 'I didnt get to make a phone call...'

Patriot Act, motherfuckers. WE TOLD YOU it was a bad idea.

[LibfromtheNorth]

18. Kind of Ironic

The fake media reported on him being arrested. ha ha

[Tommymac]

20. Sucks when White Privilege is suspended.

Not so fun, is it assholes?

[dreamland]

21. Russians who don't speak English, at the riot.

Putin spies perhaps? I doubt that MaGATs would tell them to go back to where they came from. They probably welcome the Russian help, oh wait, they did welcome the Russian help, there were a couple who were storming the Capitol door.
