caught was slapped with federal charges for his role in the insurrectionChristian Secor, a UCLA student who espoused far-right and white supremacist views, was charged by federal authorities for his role in storming the Capitol on January 6.
According to court documents, tipsters shared information about Secor, telling the FBI that Secor had gotten rid of his phone, moved into his mother's basement, and bragged that he wouldn't get caught.
In total, 11 people helped identify Secor, 22, who live-streamed the breach of the Capitol and was pictured sitting at Pence's dais during the siege.
Federal authorities in DC charged Secor with assaulting, resisting, or impeding a police officer; violent entry and remaining on restricted grounds; civil disorder; and obstructing an official proceeding.

(100,133 posts)Plus, who the hell wants him anywhere near the campus after what happened at UCSB? The sirens went on and on and on and on. At first sort of below the level where Id pay attention we were less than a mile off the freeway, but Jesus I suddenly realized there were so many... I thought initially there mustve been a helluva pileup down the freeway. And it turned out it was one of those goddamned incels who has now been made into a hero by his online buddies.
No. I dont think UCLA wants the little bastard.

It includes a tipster's note that he calls himself a groyper (a species of white supremacist/fascist) and sometimes goes by "Scruffed Elliot Rodger" -- meaning that he's an incel who thinks women are for killing.

(2,986 posts)daughter was accepted as a freshman in 1991. But I have two much younger children (the youngest graduated from high school in 2020), and all the UC's have gotten much harder to get into. Neither my older daughter or would be accepted to Cal today, and I think the acceptance rate at UCLA is down to about 12%!
NewJeffCT
(56,848 posts)it's slightly easier, percentage-wise, if you're from the US, but out of state.
It was 12% overall last year, but was about 16% for out of state students from the US. I think in-state was probably closer to 10% and international students even lower than that.

Here's my dramatized recreation of the event:
So he does something extremely foolish, he tries to clean his phone then sell it to a "buddy" who rats him out when the FBI tracks it down, is directed to his mom's basement where doofus is hiding out, playing "Call of Duty" and thinking how slick he is...until the doorbell rings and mom yells down the basement stairs, "Son there's someone here who wants to ask you some questions."
I am waiting for my Emmy.

Who do these jerks think they're dealing with, anyway? They're up against the federal judicial and law enforcement agencies, but they believe they're going to outsmart them by moving, shaving, or getting their hair cut.
Anyway, another one bites the dust. I hope this serves as a deterrent to any other racist, fascist shitbags who think they can overthrow elections.

(20,591 posts)We're not quite there yet (I don't think we are anyway) but it's coming. Come to think of it, sometimes I think the dog is listening to everything I say. If she's transmitting that information to law enforcement isn't known.... And I know my television is listening in, and the NSA is scanning every word I say. And I do keep a little band-aid over my computer's camera lens, and that's probably listening in as well.
What am I doing telling you all of this anyway? I don't know you. Who are you, anyway?

It sounded like a good idea on the internet postings.
But from pictures it looks like no one was really 'there' with him.
Just another loner pulled along by the mob 'stoked' by Trump.
I notice on his one business card description he described the group he 'led' as a group that liked to 'stoke' conversations on campus.
