    Sounds like this could be another Qanon supporter. I hope a bomb doesn't go off. Will they be able to diffuse the situation:

    Who is Floyd Ray Roseberry? Capitol ‘bomb’ suspect threatens POTUS ‘the South is coming for you Joe’
    "We got a few options here Joe. You shoot me, two and half blocks are going with me. And then you’re talking about a revolution."

    The suspect who shut down the US Capitol on Thursday, August 19, ranted about President Joe Biden on Facebook Livestream before posing with a device with his finger on the button.

    Addressing POTUS, Floyd Ray Roseberry, 49, said: "We got a few options here Joe. You shoot me, two and a half blocks are going with me. And then you’re talking about a revolution." He further added, "I love this land....the south is coming for you...the Revolution is on." On Thursday, August 19, he told police that he had a bomb, law enforcement said. Capitol Police affirmed that there was an active bomb threat just after 10.30 am. Reports confirm that the police officers observed the man sitting in a black pickup truck outside the Library of Congress holding what appeared to be a detonator, U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger said.

    demands to speak to "Joe"

    Does he accept callers on his podcast?

    https://open.spotify.com/show/4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMk

    I'm sure "Joe" would love to speak to this guy either way..

    President Biden, OTOH, is a might busy at the moment

    Situation totally defused.... excellent police work, from what I heard, except the Capitol Police head doing the first presser was pretty lame.... Not a regular at public speaking....

    Crazy people don't deserve this publicity.

    Why does he think he gets to demand to talk to the president using threats of violence?

    Put him in a hole in the ground for 20 years.

    Missing the big point again...was there a bomb or was this simply an irate citizen looking for attention, you know, like a GOP RINO or our pretend President.

    GOP Rep. Mo Brooks says he understands 'anger' at 'Socialism' amid Capitol Hill bomb threat

    As U.S. Capitol Police were negotiating Thursday for the surrender of a suspect who threatened to detonate a truck bomb in front of the Library of Congress, Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., issued a statement in which he said he understood “citizenry anger directed at dictatorial Socialism.”

    After saying he was praying for the safety of Capitol Police and noting that “violence and threats of violence targeting America’s political institutions are far too common,” Brooks expressed some degree of sympathy with those upset at the federal government.

    “Although this terrorist’s motivation is not yet publicly known, and generally speaking, I understand citizenry anger directed at dictatorial Socialism and its threat to liberty, freedom and the very fabric of American society,” Brooks wrote.

    Capitol bomb threat: Pro-Trump suspect arrested after hours-long standoff that caused major security alert
    Floyd Ray Roseberry, a 49-year-old man from Grover, North Carolina, spoke ominously of wanting to start a ‘revolution’

    ...

    On his livestream, Mr Roseberry indicated his truck contained explosives and issued a warning to President Joe Biden against shooting him to prevent sound-sensitive detonators from igniting them.

    “I’m here for a reason, Joe Biden,” he said. “I’m here for the American people. And if you want to take me out, take me out. But when the patriots come, your ass is in trouble … So if you blow my truck up man, it’s on you, Joe. I’m ready to die for the cause.”

    ...

    On his livestream, which was removed from Facebook but shared widely across other social media platforms, Mr Roseberry spoke of his family back in North Carolina, his hatred for for the president – named dozens of times in his video – and claimed to be upset at the decision to pull US troops out of Afghanistan.

    “The first thing I want is air strikes in Afghanistan. Kick that Taliban’s ass and keep them from killing people,” he said.

    ... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...omb-suspect-floyd-ray-roseberry-b1905555.html

    Also noted in this story is that he apparently did not have a functioning bomb in the truck, “but possible bomb making materials were collected” after Mr Roseberry’s arrest.

    You should have stopped at the word wackos
    Instead you seek someone else to blame
    I’m guessing you are a lefty
    Shifting blame is very common among your kind

    At best, your obvious lack of desire to understand the "why" behind this whako born of intellectual laziness; I'm guessing that you are a righty?

    At worse, you don't want basic investigations to be done because you both agree with and support the actions of this RW terrorist, and don't want the method of his radicalization to be exposed and eliminated.

    edit
    For the record, looking into what motivates whackos isn't shifting the blame, its understanding our nation's enemies, and it is any patriot's duty.

    This man is crazy. But he is an example of the state of our nation. Two extremes that are acting violent. We have so many hard emotions going on right now. I don’t foresee a revolution as of now because there are no state actors advocating for it. But if more people like this man and antifa start the spark it could turn into an all out fire if it catches hold in politics. Kinda scary

    Antifa isn't doing anything like this. False equivalence.

    Now we are talking terrorism as a whole or was the comparison just this guy? Make up your minds.

    if we are going to talk terrorism as a whole, all those stats exclude Islamic terrorism from leftists terror. They do this just to make the lefts stats go down. Islamic terror they claim isn’t related to the left but for some weird reason all the Islamic congressmen and congresswomen are democrats.

    Islamic terrorists like Isis and the Taliban have much more in common with conservative ideology. They base their ideology on traditions and religion, they want Islam "first", they are anti-Science, they don't like feminists, LGBQT etc. But, tell us precisely what is left wing or progressive about their ideology?

    This comes under the 'everytning I don't like is left wing' banner.

    Islamic terrorists are definitively conservative - they want to force society into a religiously based 'glorious past'. Even for right wing Americans who have handwaved away the entire history of conservatism that they don't like it should be pretty obvious. Of course, the Islamists are big on revolution, but US conservatives basically worship a set of revolutionaries, so not left wing either.

    In fact, many Islamist groups have some point of origin opposing secular governments that often had some sort of left wing ideology - Afghanistsn, Syria, Egypt, Iraq.

    But hey, right wing Americans don't like them, so they must be 'left wing'. Expect truly awful arguments in defence of that premise.

    Clearly a false flag operation and no doubt the ignorant will call for it.
