'If we'd had guns I guarantee we would have killed 100 politicians': Accused Oath Keeper threatened

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

to murder lawmakers in Capitol, court documents say

Thomas Caldwell, a participant in the January 6 riot at the Capitol, bragged about storming the building and told acquaintances he would have killed politicians if he could, according to new court filings reviewed by Insider.

The filings come in an argument from prosecutors to keep Caldwell in jail ahead of a criminal trial. He was arrested on several charges related to his participation in the insurrection.

"If we'd had guns I guarantee we would have killed 100 politicians," Caldwell wrote, according to messages prosecutors obtained. "They ran off and were spirited away through their underground tunnels like the rats they were."

Prosecutors said Caldwell is a member of the Oaf Creepers, an extremist militia, and organized an attack on Congress with them as then-President Donald Trump urged lawmakers not to certify the 2020 presidential election results in favor of now-President Joe Biden, who was duly elected.

1. More proof that gun restriction laws work to save lives!

[Mickju]

17. Indeed!

Look at Australia.

[Glorfindel]

2. "Oaf Creepers"!

Wonderful visual imagery...

[plimsoll]

10. Have to agree.

Truth In Advertising.

3. Other than their guy didn't win.

Why do they hate America? We have a democracy and your guy lost big time. How about you shut up and figure out why America does not support your positions.
What is to terrible in America that you would resort to treason and terrorism.

[Marcuse]

4. I had to do the Onion check.

[TheRealNorth]

5. The Oath Keepers are a terrorist organization...

And we need to vette every law enforcement organization to remove any members or sympathizers.

[BComplex]

14. Amen to that. They're killing people of color with impunity, and it has to stop.

They are domestic terrorists, whether they're on the police force or not.

[Kaleva]

6. What good are stockpiles of guns and ammo if you forget to take them with you?

[sarisataka]

7. Dammit Karl!

[Kaleva]

8. LOL! A great majority of them just talk tough and luv to play army

Paint ball enthusiasts on steroids.

[Hekate]

13. It was a dress rehearsal. We won't be so lucky next time.

[hadEnuf]

18. And if we don't blink first maybe they won't be so lucky next time either.

[Kaleva]

22. What makes you think that?

About 300 Capitol rioters have been arrested so far and not one of those tough talking fakers have shot it out with the police or FBI. They all just surrendered without a fight.

[Irish_Dem]

9. I hope this one doesn't get out on bail. And stays in prison for a long time.

[KS Toronado]

11. That statement alone "If we'd had guns..... killed 100 politicians,"

Will get Caldwell the longest prison terms allowed by law for what he's charged with.
Bye Bye Tom see you in about 50 years.

[Trueblue1968]

12. 30 years in the slammer !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Iggo]

15. Oaf Creepers is a real thing?

I thought it was just a derogatory term for big fat cosplaying white supremacist gunfucker.

Well, whaddaya know.

Learn something new every day.

[Mickju]

19. Appropriately named

I thought it was a typo for a second! This guy should never see the light of day.

[niyad]

16. INSURRECTION. NOT "riot". Do, please, try to get it correct, ms n.

[ellie]

20. God,

these people are dumb.

[nuxvomica]

21. I'm starting to feel bad for the other inmates

Having to share a cell block with these bacciagalupes. I can picture Hannibal Lector saying, "Oaf Creepers are here? Oh, fuck!"

[usaf-vet]

23. And hopefully would spend the rest of your useless lives behind bars.

Yet one more reason to limit access to guns. If not the guns (2nd amendment) the ammo and the reloading supplies.

If THEY had managed to kill 100's in Congress I would hope that finally, that would force changes in the gun laws.

And before the attacks come my way. I have own guns since my 16 birthday. And I have held a concealed carry permit since early 1970 in several states.

I have owned and have used reloading equipment since the early 1970s.

For a short time, I was an NRA member when youth training was part of the programs.

At 70 I no longer agree with their radical political agenda.

[keithbvadu2]

26. Yes

The NRA used to be for sportsmen, hunters and gun safety.

Now it has become an industry owned shill for the sale of more guns and the enrichment of its leaders.

[hibbing]

24. The media has such a hard time using word "terrorists" n/t

[keithbvadu2]

25. Did Boebert and Greene have guns staged in their offices?

Did Boebert and Greene have guns staged in their offices?

One of Trump's terrorists was going to shoot Pelosi 'in the friggin head'.

[paleotn]

27. Admission of guilt AND proves DC's gun laws are there for a good reason.

A twofer!!! Now lock his dumb ass up until he is no more.

[NHvet]

28. Are they required to wear matching ones...?

.....Oaf creepers are shoes sold by Doc Martens

[crickets]

29. Big mouth, small brains.

Lawyers are fighting over whether Caldwell should be released from jail ahead of trial.

I think somebody has definitively ended the argument, and it wasn't the lawyers. Yikes.

[Hortensis]

30. :) Yikes. From what I've read, most criminals are this stupid and

are arrested about as fast. Nice that he's helping the courts decide he's a danger to others. He's only one of many to tend to.
