Another alleged Oath Keepers associate was arrested Friday in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, accused of joining a stack formation of organized members who prosecutors say marched up the east steps and entered the Rotunda in camouflage and tactical gear.
David Moerschel, 43, of Punta Gorda, Fla., was charged by criminal complaint Thursday with three counts, including conspiracy and obstructing Congress. Moerschel joined some defendants who prosecutors allege staged in advance at an Arlington hotel, where they say weapons were stored for a Quick Reaction Force site.
His arrest makes him at least the 18th alleged Oath Keeper in a group whose members prosecutors have accused of plotting and communicating in advance to breach the Capitol and disrupt Congress that day.
We look forward to proving Mr. Moerschels innocence, said his attorney, Scott Weinberg. Moerschel made an initial appearance in federal court in Fort Myers, Fla., and was conditionally released on $25,000 unsecured bond.

Being prepared for urban warfare is not acceptable to me, sorry. And, no, Im not the arbiter of such matters, strictly how I look at at.

Dial H For Hero
(2,971 posts)It seems to bother you that I possess something that makes it less likely that I would die if Im shot. Why is that?
As for my username, Dial H for Hero is a very silly superheroes series from the Sixties. It has squat to do with guns (or gunz as you consistently and bafflingly misspell the word).

(54,770 posts)People who are strictly using body armor to protect them from racists and bigots have more need for body armor than white wingers. But, we can start with the white wingers.
I believe acquiring body armor is a good indicator of a racist, rube, criminal, etc. Not 100%, but significant.
Armor may predict those that should be evaluated for conditions that might contradict ownership of firearms, etc.
Im not for enabling urban warfare.

When looking at 20-30 years at trial vs 5-7 if you cop a plea all these guys will buckle. And lead to the leaders of the coup attempt. Regardless of who they are.
Looks like Garland was serious about getting to the bottom of this.
