(6,477 posts)He even managed to capture the alarm blaring in the video to completely contradict the usual 'the door was open, thought it was public" defense. And the "where are those pieces of shit" is a nice touch for the judge to determine the seriousness of the intent. Good job, moron.

... Robert L. Bauer was charged with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, as well as knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building without lawful authority, for participating in an insurrection at the Capitol Jan. 6 ...
... Bauer told agents that he went to D.C. for the rally with his wife. The two stayed with his cousin, Edward Hemenway II, in Virginia from Jan. 1-5 before going to a D.C. hotel to be closer to the rally.
Agents said Bauer told them all three went to the rally, and began marching with the crowd to the U.S. Capitol "because Trump said to do so." Hemenway told agents they marched after Trump said "something about taking Pennsylvania Avenue."
According to Hemenway, the two men entered the Capitol while Bauer's wife returned to the hotel. While Bauer told agents he did not believe he had done anything wrong because he saw no signs saying he could not enter the Capitol, Hemenway said he saw a green plastic sign that said "Do Not Enter" ...

(126,422 posts)An Arizona man, currently wanted by the FBI in connection to the U.S. Capitol riot, was detained in Flagstaff back in October. Anthime Gionet, also known as “Baked Alaska,” who was a popular streamer and conspiracy theorist on YouTube, tried to buy a hat in Babbitt’s Backcountry Outfitters in downtown Flagstaff late last year. He was told at least five times to wear a mask while in the store and he refused, claiming “Arizona doesn’t have a mask mandate,” even though Flagstaff does. Police were called and detained him for trespassing. Gionet was not charged and was released later that night. Prior to last Wednesday, he tweeted anti-semitic and racist messages and was tear gassed while marching with white-supremacists in Charlottesville in 2017. Gionet live-streamed as he made his way into the Capitol building last Wednesday. The FBI has used his video to arrest others and continue searching for him ...
