Dating app trips up another Capitol riot suspect …
One accused of hitting police with whip…
A Texas man was arrested after boasting to a match in a dating app about participating in the Jan. 6 riot “from the very beginning.”
Andrew Taake of Houston was charged with assaulting police and storming the Capitol building.
His arrest follows a months-long investigation spurred by a tip and a FedEx delivery driver who confirmed his identity to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
A federal agent said images show the Texas man “using what appears to be a metal whip and pepper spray to attack law enforcement officers.”
After gathering images, FBI agents showed them to a FedEx driver who had delivered a package “minutes before” at Taake’s address. The driver then identified Taake as the man in the photos.

FBI Washington Field office looking for your help identifying people involved in the January 6th riots at the Capitol.
I did not say all. But it is well over 95 percent overall and even higher at the federal level. On the flip side only one has had charges dropped surrounding January 6th, and all the effort is focused on January 6th. Virtually no effort is being used to round up those responsible for billions of dollars in damages to businesses and beating up people. Socal Antifia recently beat up a protestor concerning the Asia spa in LA, and of little concern. There is only one word for the disparity in how justice is being served....disgusting.

Thousands of people having their business destroyed >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Congress being inconvenienced for a few hours.
Yeah, but my worldview is equal treatment for all. The left's worldview is justice based solely on politics.

Everyone justifies their own biases. I was simply pointing out the irony of you blasting “wallowing in partisan” viewpoints while thats exactly what you do.

I put zero relevance in what the left hangs their hat on. I view private business as a bigger concern than government. I find the distinction ignorant.

Aaaanyhow, do you not see how those in government, or those who respect government, might see it differently?

And completely derailed this thread, like he does to many. I’m guilty for engaging the broken record too. I’m done. Mea culpa.So. You trash the left every opportunity you get.

I've wanted to answer him a few times, but I'm making a concerted effort just to stick to the thread topic and not engage.
Although I do think the 'Drink' responses are fine.

What I said was accurate. Most of the charges at the federal level have been dropped, many of them surrounding violence against federal agents protecting federal property in Portland. You guys just want twist what was said and ignore facts which don't support your bs narrative. It is very convenient just to talk about negative stuff about the other side and live in your ignorant bubble.

The left is creating a society and justice system which have two sets of rules, one for conservatives/whites and one for liberals/minorities. This whole January 6th stuff vs. BLM riots are just one of the more blatant example (others include college admissions and scholarships, all rhetoric woke nonsense, push for reparations). Having a justice department which dismisses cases in mass against BLM protestors no matter how serious the charges are because of lack of resources and time vs. pursuing every case against Jan 6th protestors no matter how minor where there is no limit to the resources being thrown at them, is notoriously an unbalanced and unfair system of justice which violates the equal protection clause of our Constitution.
Of course if I were pursuing such bigoted and ugly policies, it would upset me to be called out and I would run to the moderators for cover instead of defending them. It is quite telling when factual and sourced posts are demanded to be removed.

Equal protection has already been tried as a defense once. It failed in that instance. If what you claim is legit, it will be claimed again. I hope this thread survives long enough to see that day.
Eta: the irony isn't lost on me that the entire reason for last summers riots is two sets of rules: one for whites and one for minorities.

Jon Schaffer of Indiana
Schaffer is admitted Oath Keeper who pleaded guilty *and* promised cooperation w/ feds…
A June deadline for status report has come & gone... no updates; no court date scheduled.
This guy is going to cooperate significantly.
“The governments ongoing plea negotiations with defendant are the first and most advanced negotiations involving any of the capitol riot defendants.”

Sure, but wasn't that just some defendant who was representing themselves. Based on real world stats and statements made government officials I do believe that a successful claim can be made.

I think this will be difficult because of all the evidence in the Jan 6th cases, vs sketchy evidence in the BLM looting and rioting cases. As that other article pointed out regarding the first case, the prosecutors have these guys dead to rights with all the CCTV evidence, cell phone evidence, and social media evidence. There is really no chance of a defense lawyer muddying the water in these cases.
In most of the BLM cases the looting took place in the dead of night and there is way less physical evidence. A prosecutor will not take a case to court if there is more than a 50/50 chance of losing the case.
If they can find a slam dunk BLM case that got dismissed and compare the 2, then there would be a chance of this defense working.
It depends how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. The Oath Keepers and other groups are pleading guilty to serious crimes and cooperating. That’s a strong indicator that he’s giving info on much bigger crimes that he won’t be charged with.
Some speculation I’ve seen is that it was part of bigger plan where they create the initial disturbance that will permit Trump to use the Insurrection Act and instill martial law to delay the certification indefinitely. The gun stash would be used after the declaration with them helping the military.
Another thing that’s come up with recovered communication is that they feared they would be confronted by Antifa and BLM counter protesters. In that scenario the gun stash would be brought in when needed.
Like I said, deep conspiracy stuff but we’re unlikely to get the full story until the bigger fish are charged. Many of the public statements and pleadings seem to indicate there was much more planning and coordination involved that’s not yet publicly known.

One of the comments in that Twitter thread says he was an active duty Marine? If that’s true it will be interesting to see what will happen to him.

Now in court: Matthew Purse
Feds allege Purse falsely claimed to be a member of media while amid the mob... including with his noteworthy helmet…
Prosecutors ask Purse to surrender his passport and subject himself to "location monitoring"
Defense just compared this case to petty offenses (such as trespassing on federal park lands) in seeking to spare Purse from having location monitoring.
Justice Dept prosecutor hit back hard... saying this was not a "petty offense.”
Judge orders "location monitoring"
The "petty offense" argument from defense attorney didn't seem to work.
Examples of Petty Offenses in the real world:
Speeding on federal road, marijuana use on federal grounds, traffic violations on military bases.

I think you can go to the govenment websites for the individual courtrooms, and subscribe to watch. I belive that is what the reporter I follow is doing.
In a lot of cases it is audio only.
