Man breached Capitol on Jan 6 with hockey stick and bullhorn to make sure the Chinese Communist Party does not take over

A man from Maine who breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 with a hockey stick and a bullhorn was arrested this week after a quick-thinking police officer ran his license plate and noticed he had a warrant for his arrest, federal authorities said.

Christopher Belliveau, 38, faces charges of civil disorder, assaulting officers using a dangerous weapon, trespassing, disorderly conduct, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building and parading in the Capitol buildings, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release.

He was allegedly among a mob of former President Donald Trump supporters attending the “Stop the Steal” rally that day before making his way to the Capitol to participate in the disruption of the certification of President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral win.

He’s accused of carrying a bullhorn and gesturing at a police officer before discharging an orange spray from a green canister of bear mace, court documents said. As he ran back toward the crowd and away from the officer, he continued to spray mace, the document said. The officer chased after him but was knocked to the ground by another rioter before she could reach him, court documents said.

I'm a real communist.

I believe in public paid health care. Public funded libraries, schools, jails, fire service....

I believe in "Each according to his means." Therefore, hedge fund billionaires should pay taxes in proportion to their wealth.

Don't let that go out because I will be on the top of Trump's revenge list.

This idiot managed to do something that caused a cop to run his plate and boom . . . off to join the choir.

...which means they knew who he was. Did he renew his tags between the time the warrant was issued and the time the cop ran his plate? I'm just wondering whether law enforcement could have gone to his mailing address and found him sooner? Not to take anything away from the officer who did find him.
