Father and Son MAGA Militants Found Guilty of Charges for Actions on 6 Jan 2021

Last edited Tue Oct 8, 2024, 08:27 AM - Edit history (1)



Toney Sheldon Bray (46) and his son Ethan Bray (25), both of Blue Springs, MS, were found guilty of a felony charge of civil disorder and a misdemeanor charge of disorderly and disruptive conduct during the 6 Jan 2021 attack on the US Capitol. Judge Contreras will sentence the family on 7 Feb 2025.

The father and son team dressed in military-style gear, including tactical helmets, vests, and goggles, and were part of the initial breach of police barricades on 6 Jan 2021. Specifically, Ethan and Tony Bray pushed and climbed over the police barriers. The Brays were among the first to confront law enforcement and wore gas masks. The rioters engaged in a concerted push against police, and were rebuffed when police used OC spray to repel them. Toney Bray stole a captured US Capitol Police riot shield. The FBI arrested the two on 8 June 2023.

Anyone with tips can call 1-800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324) or visit tips.fbi.gov.

This father and his son threw their lives away in the misguided belief of white supremacy, as well as their idiotic belief in Donald Trump. In the 45 months since 6 Jan 2021, more than 1,532 suspects have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to attacking the US Capitol, including more than 571 seditionists charged with feloniously assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The FBI investigation remains ongoing.


The Patriot Mail Project considers these 6 Jan insurrectionists as “political prisoners” and fundraises on their behalf. I wonder if Toney Bray will be smirking in prison. The FBI is aware of this organization.

The "Patriot" pen pal project is the King, NC post office box.

Not sure if there are several of these, but Trump's "political prisoners" bullshit is more than matched by magats sending stacks of cards and letters to the traitors sitting in jail or prison. This is a level of support which I haven't seen too much discussion of in media. It strengthens bonds between magats, reinforces the lie that they are patriots, and very likely makes it easier for them to just pick up where they left off, rather than reconsider their lives and possibly de-radicalizing while locked up. Instead, they're kept in the fold, and I would guess they will have more motivation to build on that identity when they get out.

The way I see it. Trump committed a felony, and it resulted in people dying, that’s felony murder. he could have acted like a normal president conceded the election. And he’d be in much better shape today in this election he wants to win. They just can’t see that. Maybe if he hadn’t been indicted and convicted, he wouldn’t have run at all, who knows

I truly disliked posting that Patriot Mail Project image and his smirking face, so I apologize to everyone who had to suffer that visage even for the slightest moment. It's like looking at the sun-- just a quick glance, then turn away.

But for those who are following the Jan6 cases, you will see many of their names linked to this organization, which is why I included it.

Every patriot should be able to kee --- sorry.... is REQUIRED to have guns. It's in the QAnon oath of office. Who knows if we're gonna need 'em on January '25.

More classic fuck around and find out. What a failure the father is. It’s his role to protect and teach his son. Now they will share space in a federal detention center is the judge does his job. A felony conviction. Hopefully at least 6 months behind bars and I pray for longer.
