Another one bites the dust......Daniel "MILKSHAKE" Scott



Proud Boys member who allegedly shouted about taking the Capitol before breach arrested

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/proudboy-screaming-lets-take-capitol-arrested/2021/05/20/ccae5e00-b9a7-11eb-a6b1-81296da0339b_story.html

U.S. authorities have arrested three more alleged associates of two right-wing groups in the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol, including one who allegedly shouted, “Let’s take the f---ing Capitol!” an hour before the assault while marching with a large group of Proud Boys around the building.

Charging papers identified Daniel Lyons Scott, 28, of Bradenton, Fla., as the Proud Boys member nicknamed “Milkshake,” who after allegedly yelling about taking the Capitol was admonished, “Let’s not f---ing yell that, okay?” by a Proud Boys leader on a video live-streamed by the group that day. In the same moments, court documents allege, accused leader Ethan Nordean was recorded saying, “It was Milkshake, man, you know .?.?. idiot!”

Nordean and three other Proud Boys seen near him that day have pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiring to obstruct police and the joint session of Congress to confirm the 2020 election results.

In an April 29 charging affidavit unsealed Thursday, the FBI said Scott, wearing a blue “GOD, Guns & Trump” cap, yellow-tinted goggles and olive-green jacket was “among the first” members of a mob to initiate contact with police at a lower West Terrace stairwell. Four minutes later, according to charging papers, rioters charged up and broke through a window on the next level about 2:13 p.m., eventually raiding the Senate chamber and forcing police to defend the House chamber with guns drawn.

8. Maybe it's a Duck Dynasty thing, ZZ Top or they all just want to resemble biblical patriarchs?

None of the Founding Fathers wore beards, so it can't be some kind of patriotic constitutional originalism. In my neck of the woods these guys are everywhere. It's like they've been cloned in some redneck laboratory.

10. Duck Dynasty helped make the look popular, I think.

Forty years ago, most men that worked with the public at big bank holding companies weren't permitted to wear beards, even nicely cut beards. At that time, it was thought beards made a man look untrustworthy.

But I'd bet they are part of the MAGA crowd. Average Qrump voter.

4. I have a problem with the Proud Boys' name.

Milkshake is a more appropriate name for this particular "boy". None of these Boys is proud enough of their participation in Jan 6th to turn over all their devices to the authorities and take credit for their crimes now. Sort of like Kevin McCarthy not wanting to go into what he said and did with the fucking moron on that day.

6. I'm Not Clear on Whether "Idiot" Was Intended As a Term of Endearment and Comradeship or An Insult

Sad old milkshake is pondering too, I'm sure.

9. I clicked because I thought the dude died. (bites the dust)

I thought, geeze how many died and what did they die of.

But ok, he's been arrested, but not facing conspiracy charges.

I don't know whether or not the Federal judges in Tampa are like the ones in Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma etc, where these asshats have been released on bail sent home on some restrictions, but it's ok to vacation out of country or take a road trip across the country or whatever free citizens get to do.

Stay tuned while we fill in with a message from our sponsors, and the dude gets back from his spring/summer vacation in Cabo.
