US Capitol breach What the arrests of Beverly Hills residents say about the US Capitol attack

Of the 14 Californians charged in connection with the pro-Trump riot, three are from the wealthy LA county enclave

Beverly Hills has seen more residents arrested for participating in the US Capitol insurrection than any other city in California.

Three of the 14 California residents charged in connection with the pro-Trump riot in Washington on 6 January so far are from the wealthy Los Angeles county enclave: Gina Bisignano, a salon owner, and Simone Gold and John Strand, two rightwing activists who have spread coronavirus misinformation through their roles in America’s Frontline Doctors, an organization that Gold, an emergency room physician, founded.

The 11 other Californians who have been charged in the riot are scattered across the state, from San Diego to San Francisco, with three clustered in towns around Sacramento, the state capital, and two from towns in the notoriously conservative Orange county, south of Los Angeles.

ugh.

These are the people a professional acquaintance sent me a link to out of the blue recently. Pissed me off so much! I let her know in no uncertain terms. Of course she prefaced it with something like, "these are legit doctors..blah blah blah." Then denied knowing they were covid hoaxers.

I tore her a new one. Verbally, of course.

hope the FBI and anybody else is on top of this. They pose an extreme danger with their access to resources, both personal and in terms of materials...
