Federal prosecutors say that Christopher Michael Alberts of Maryland was arrested on Capitol grounds on the evening of Jan. 6 while carrying a Taurus G2c 9 mm handgun with one round in the chamber and a full 12-round magazine. He also allegedly had an extra magazine in his pocket and was carrying a gas mask, pocket knife and first-aid kit.
UCLA Student Charged In Capitol Riot Took Inspiration From Online Extremist Lonnie Leroy Coffman of Alabama was also arrested that evening after law enforcement found two firearms on his person, as well as what a federal judge referred to as a "small armory" in his truck, which was parked near the Capitol. According to the court, the government found "a loaded handgun," "a loaded rifle," "a loaded shotgun," "a crossbow with bolts," "several machetes," "a stun gun" and "11 mason jars containing a flammable liquid, with a hole punched in the top of each jar." According to the government, surveillance footage showed him "in attendance at the events at the Capitol," though he has not been charged with breaching the building.
Cleveland Grover Meredith of North Carolina planned to arrive in D.C. for the Trump rallies on Jan. 6, according to federal prosecutors, but he was delayed because of car trouble. He was arrested the following day for allegedly assaulting a man in Washington, D.C., in a traffic-related incident and for making death threats against the D.C. mayor and Pelosi.
During a search, law enforcement said they found in his possession "a Glock 19, nine millimeter pistol, a Tavor X95 assault rifle and approximately hundreds of rounds of ammunition." Citing text messages sent by Meredith, a federal prosecutor argued in court that he "relished in the carnage of January 6th."
These are just off one site; and the comments are that while many people were NOT arresting during the actual Riots, they were later identified and through self incrimination/ or by photos had MANY more weapons that were on their person during the riots. I Doubt any Always Trumpers will agree that this is the case, since they were not caught "red handed", but they were indeed arrested at some point, and charged based on video or pictures and posts of them attending. Sure, some bad actors, and some not so bad actors. But Hardly Visitors or Tourists. Those ppl who were just there as tourists wouldn't get involved in a shoving match with cops, or others just like the majority of members of this board wouldn't get involved in my opinion. You may disagree, but the fact that only one person was shot doesn't negate that others died, and that the intention was to stop the voting and validation of the results of each state, where duely elected officials of the state, both dem and gop, asserted that the votes were indeed valid. Why is that so hard to understand, and why do you deny that these people were violent. Hell if you got into a shoving match with your neighbor, and hit them with a pole, a bike, or a club, or sprayed them with bear spray and were dressed in tactical gear, you'd be "fucking A" - charged with assault.
