"Lolos very nearly executed the perfect crime," 😆 Trump terrorist busted at airport

Alleged Capitol Rioter Gave Himself Away By Repeatedly Yelling ‘Trump 2020’ On Plane

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/alleged-capitol-rioter-gave-himself-away-by-yelling-trump-2020-on-plane


Alleged Capitol rioter John Lolos might have gotten away with it — if only he hadn’t been kicked off of his flight out of D.C. for yelling “Trump 2020!” then caught the eye of a police officer who recognized him from Instagram.

“Lolos was a passenger and was disturbing other passengers on the airplane by continuously yelling ‘Trump 2020!’ Due to the continuing disturbance, the flight crew decided to turn the airplane around and go back to the gate to escort Lolos off of the flight,” the affidavit alleged.

Fate intervened. Forty-five minutes later, the airport officer who responded to the incident was scrolling through his personal Instagram when he came across a video of the Capitol attack two days earlier.

The airport officer notified some nearby Capitol Police investigations division officers of his discovery. Those officers subsequently detained Lolos at the gate. After the arrest, police searched Lolos’ luggage and allegedly found the same flags he was waving in the video from the Capitol, still hooked together — “further corroborating his involvement in the January 6, 2021 events.”

"...a crime to (1) knowingly enter or remain in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority... "

I wo see why it has to say " enter it remain." Doesn't "enter" cover that, since you can't remain unless you already entered.

Is it in case someone was allowed--had lawful authority--to enter the building but was required to leave and didn't? Maybe someone on an authorized tour who hid somewhere inside and didn't leave when they were supposed to?

Let's say you're allowed to be inside until five, but you stay past that limit. The law needs to cover that sort of situation too.

If these goons ever acquire any common sense, the country's got problems.

Of course, if they continue their stance of "hey, Ma, lookit me, I'm a hoodlum," containing them will be a somewhat simpler task.

down side to attacking the Capitol. Their leader told them to do it and he was the most powerful man in the world so it must be ok. Why hide?

Even if arrested, their leader would come through for them and reward their heroism. So why not show their faces proudly?

What a let down when he threw them under the bus. What a shock that they are treated as criminals and not heroes. How can it be that their leader actually DID leave the White House and without even pardoning them first? Who knew it could end this way?

And how appropriate that this guy is named Lolos.

The best end result is that a bunch of these clowns get disillusioned and simply stop voting. That, along with changing demographics, could keep the next right winger out of the White House.

I complained to a maskless idiot that it's getting easier and easier to spot you Trumpers.
Book him Dano.

Don't be “too nice,” when arresting certain suspects. “Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head...I said you can take the hand away, OK?” Members of the crowd cheered at that remark. — Donald Trump

If "the perfect crime" means getting on a plane without repeatedly shouting "I'm escaping! Arrest me!" then yeah. Perfect crime.

Lolos very nearly executed the perfect crime, but his undying and obnoxious love for then-President Donald Trump would spell his downfall, according to a Capitol Police officer’s affidavit unsealed in the District of Columbia.
