25. Thought I saw Moses in one or the videos.

He was using his staff to smash a window.

[PatrickforO]

26. I'm so happy they found this jerk.

The very act of defiling our Capitol with this treasonous flag was just despicable. That is every bit as bad as the feces.

[OldBaldy1701E]

33. I was born and raised in the south

I agree with you completely. The idea that he thought he could bring in a symbol of sedition and then act like sedition was NOT the idea for what he was doing is laughable and idiotic. Lock him up and throw away the key.

[MyOwnPeace]

48. ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!

I had a hard time figuring out which one, single seditionist I wanted to see captured first (horns/pelt man - feet-on-desk man - monkey-hanging man - police shield-breaking window man) this guy was really WAY up there on my list. The shame and disgrace brought to those sacred halls......... just don't have the words for it.

[lunatica]

55. He seems to have turned himself in

[SergeStorms]

2. Good!

Carrying around the traitorous flag of another failed insurrection in THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE was lower than whale shit. I'm glad they got that piece of crap.

[Vogon_Glory]

3. GOOD!

The guy waving the bloodstained banner of secession and white racism has been busted!



(Note: The second-to-last Confederate national flag was called “The Stainless Banner.”

[sarisataka]

23. Just to be a historical PITA

It is not the blood stained banner either. That was the last flag of the Confederacy which was the same as the stainless banner but with a vertical red stripe added at the edge of the white field so it would not be mistaken for a flag of surrender in battle.

The flag in the picture was rejected as the flag of the Confederacy but used as the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. Variants were used by other units and it was used in the canton of the final two flags of the Confederacy.

[Vogon_Glory]

37. I know it's not

I was trying to give the Confederate Battle Flag a nasty and appropriate nickname. I’d thought “The Bloodtained Banner” would be an appropriate moniker.

It looks like I misfired, dang it!

[sarisataka]

38. Flag of losers?

Shame stained banner?
Something else that begins with 'Sh'?

[Vogon_Glory]

43. Shame-stained banner ain't bad n/t

[VA_Jill]

45. What I call it (admittedly a little long)

"Flag of traitors since 1861, flag of LOSERS since 1865"

But "Flag of Losers" works just fine, just as my spousal unit refers to the Gadsden flag as "The Dog Sh*t Flag"

[BobTheSubgenius]

60. "Shoe."

You're thinking of "shoe."

[OverBurn]

51. Here's some great names for the unsuccessful coup.

Y'all Qaeda
YeeHawdists
Meal Team 6
Vanilla Isis
Coup Klux Klan
Talibanjo
Gravy Seals
Al Cracker
The Confidioticy

[Gore1FL]

56. You forgot Q Cucks Klan. nt

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

63. Some pretty good ones there.

Vanilla Isis & Coup Klux Klan are my faves. But, they all seem to be names for the insurrectionists, not what they did.

[Midnight Writer]

4. Delaware? So he is a damn Yankee?

[SweetieD]

10. Delaware was a slave state but didn't sign on to secede.

Anyway there are parts of Delaware where you see Confederate flags frequently. It is kinda crazy.

[dalton99a]

17. +1. Especially in the southern part

'Trump' Chemically Burned Into Lawn of Racial Justice Activist
By Khaleda Rahman On 11/18/20 at 11:16 AM EST

Police are investigating after the word "Trump" was apparently chemically burned into a racial justice activist's lawn in Delaware.

The word was spelled out in large letters using weedkiller in the front yard of Charlotte King's home in the Wolfe Pointe community, near Lewes in Sussex County, on Friday, The Cape Gazette reported.

[FakeNoose]

41. I think it says "Rump"

... or maybe it's "Nump"?

That sign "Enough is enough" - what's up with that? That's what our side was saying. That's what we said when we voted his ass out of office.

This person is seriously confused I think. Or maybe the wife is liberal, the hubby is something else.

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

62. I think someone off property used the week killer. nt

[reACTIONary]

61. Delmarva...

... I think the last lynching took place on the delmarva peninsula.

[exboyfil]

11. 1,000 residents of Delaware died during the Civil War

You just urinated on each and everyone of those graves. They were able to keep that damn flag out of the Capital, and you and your white power band of Nazis were able to just stroll in with it.

[greenjar_01]

21. Southern Delaware (Sussex County) is ... well...it's something else

Trumpism is rampant. Sussex County, DE voted for Trump. Looks like this guy is from Georgetown, DE area, heart of Sussex County.

[modrepub]

35. DE Was A Border State

Slavery was existent in several states that bordered with the Union. Remember, the institution of slavery was generally attached to agricultural based businesses. The southern part of DE and the eastern shore of Maryland were slave holding. Lots of agriculture and plantation settings there.

Lincoln had to be snuck through Baltimore for his inauguration. The city had slave-holding sympathies. Lee and his army were under the impression when they invaded MD before Antietam that they would be welcomed with open arms. The western part of MD as well as VA were union supporting areas of their respective states (the NW part of VA succeeded from VA and became WV). I believe there were some MD units that fought for the Confederacy.

Slavery in the Border States wouldn't be abolished until after the Civil War was either over or nearly over.

6. Think he is a Evangelical Christian?

That whole group that attacked our capitol look like good God like people.

52. that's great!

[BlueNProud]

18. The Party of Lincoln!! Yeah right.

[Sneederbunk]

19. Delaware was a slave state.

[sarisataka]

22. Marched into the Capitol under the flag

Of a secessionist army that waged war on the United States.

That could place him in an interesting category. Also he could not claim benefit under Lincoln’s pardon since his crime came after the pardon.

[Marcuse]

24. And yet the malicious remain amongst us.

[JHB]

27. When you laud the Land Of Rotten, all their sins are not forgotten...

Run away! Run away! Run away, Dixie man!

[Vogon_Glory]

40. +1 n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

28. Good. Been waiting for that one.

[BadgerMom]

29. Excellent! I've been waiting for news of his arrest.

[Johnny2X2X]

30. Total disrespect of our flag

Flying an enemy's flag in the US Capitol is outrageous.

[bucolic_frolic]

31. Rally. Trump. Flag. Sedition. Jail.

Shouldn't be hard to comprehend for most people.

[Moostache]

49. Bet even the stable genius could remember that (n/t)

[panader0]

34. The other guy in the photo--Caveman--was arrested too and cried in court.

[marble falls]

36. He was only one of maybe 100 idiots carrying the Traitor's Rag.

[NurseJackie]

39. Under his left eye... is that a cut? birthmark? or a prison-tattoo?

[hibbing]

42. Great, but I want that line of "soldiers" that was methodically going up the stairs n/t

[DURHAM D]

44. Agree. Do you think they are trying to

take all of them into custody at the same time?

[hibbing]

54. No idea, but I'm afraid of the media framing them as all yahoos

There were a bunch of yahoos, but I seriously believe they were used as cover for the real insurrectionists. The video of that line of men going up those stairs was absolutely chilling.

Peace

[VladmireTrumpkins]

59. my wish

I want the thugs that beat the policeman and the hoods that smashed the glass were the woman was shot! 20 years to life!

[DemoTex]

Man who carried Confederate flag through Capitol during riot arrested in Delaware



Kevin Seefried, a Delaware man photographed carrying the Confederate flag through the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot in the U.S. Capitol, surrendered himself Thursday to federal authorities in Wilmington.

A Delaware man photographed carrying the Confederate flag through the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrectionist riot surrendered himself Thursday to federal authorities in Wilmington, investigators said.

Kevin Seefried and his son, Hunter, were both arrested, according to FBI officials. The men are expected to make their first appearance in federal court later this afternoon.

Investigators say the elder Seefried was identified from a widely-circulated photo of him carrying the flag on his shoulder while rioters tore through the building around him.

As a note that is odd about Delaware - the "Mason Dixon" line sortof went along the western border of Delaware, so it was off in la la land in the Delaware Bay (but was still considered a "slave state" )!

[Dukkha]

58. his sentencing should include forced to burn that flag

Enjoy prison traitor
