Court docs: Georgia attorney threatened lives ahead of Capitol riots, was first to kick in Pelosi's door
William McCall Calhoun Jr., was arrested Jan. 15 and charged with his participation in the riot.

AMERICUS, Ga. — Court documents reveal more of what led to the arrest of an Americus, Ga. attorney following the riot at the U.S. Capitol earlier this month.

...

The caller read some of the posts, which threatened the lives of Democrats "being shot on site" stating that they are "going to kill every last communist who stands in Trump's way," according to the documents.

...

He bragged in the post that he was among the “the first of us who got upstairs kicked in Nancy Pelosi’s office door and pushed down the hall toward her inner sanctum” and that if the Speaker was around, she "probably would have been torn into little pieces."

He explains that they pushed through the police barricades, entered the building, began yelling names and "stormed upstairs ... looking for members of Congress."

It's not easy to get a law license in Georgia
It also appears to be quite a long procedure to lose it
So if he's not disbarred quickly it doesn't mean he won't
It just means he's fighting it

But after watching the way they treated the policemen, I believe they would do it. What scares me is you never know when you’re driving next to these people on the highway a deadly speed

The fact that a practicing attorney doesn’t know the grammatical difference between “site” and “sight” would send me to a better-educated lawyer.
