Man Arrested in Connection to Capitol Riot Admitted He Dressed to Look Like Antifa: FBI

Source: Newsweek via MSN

A Virginia man arrested in connection with the Capitol riots dressed in all black on Jan. 6 so he would look like an Antifa member, according to an FBI affidavit.

Fi Duong is one of more than 520 people charged so far in relation to the riot, dozens of whom have been linked to far-right groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.

Duong has been charged with disorderly conduct, obstruction of an official proceeding and knowingly entering a restricted building without lawful authority, the Associated Press reported. He also told an undercover FBI agent that he conducted "surveillance efforts" on the Capitol a month after the riot took place and was part of a militia group, for which the agent attended meetings.

This is just more reality TV or professional wrestling.
I've often wondered if it's physically painful to be that stupid, because it seems like it would be.

Yes, they looked pretty stupid in their costumes, but make no mistake, they intended to murder people and destroy America. They were not playing.

I don't believe that most of them had any real plan about anything. They followed the loudest, angriest, most outrageous voice.
That doesn't lessen their guilt. They're still guilty.

Or something like that. What exactly they come up with hardly matters. When everything you say is bullshit, adding a little more bullshit to the bullshit is not a deal breaker.

They should ask him for his membership card.

Surely that will have an address or phone number.

They should put the Trump Towers phone number on them.

Antifa is to the Proud Boys what the Washington Generals are to the Harlem Globetrotters. They exist solely to get beat up and for the other side to show off their skills, and that's about it.
