Mike Johnson to release 40,000 hours of Jan. 6 footage

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Friday announced the public release of more than 40,000 hours of Capitol security footage from Jan. 6, 2021.

Why it matters: The move meets a key demand of the Republicans' right flank as conservatives simmer at Johnson for passing a stopgap spending bill along bipartisan lines.

Most of it will be duller than watching paint dry. The "good" parts have already been all over TV. I'm personally waiting to see who'll be the first on the Nooz to start calling student activism, which was re-energized by the Middle East, some kind of conspiracy.

A staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force Reserve from Texas was arrested Wednesday on felony charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, where authorities say he pushed and grabbed police officers and called one officer a “traitor.”

Supreme Court to review obstruction law used against January 6 rioters that could impact the case against Trump

(CNN) — The Supreme Court said Wednesday that it will consider whether part of a federal obstruction law can be used to prosecute some of the rioters involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

How the Supreme Court defines how the obstruction law can be used related to the Capitol attack could impact hundreds of criminal cases, even the pending case against former President Donald Trump, who is also charged with obstructing an official proceeding.

Kentucky GOP Challenges Alleged Unjust Detention of Capitol Attack Defendants

The Republican State Central Committee of Kentucky, on Saturday, passed a contentious resolution, laying claim that several individuals implicated in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol have been unduly held without due process. This resolution, which managed to secure approval with a slim margin of 34-32 votes, echoes sentiments previously voiced by former President Donald Trump, the orchestrator of the attempted insurrection who has disseminated false information about his victory in the 2020 presidential race.

An Attempt to Differentiate Offenses
Presenting the resolution was Bobbie Coleman, the Chair of Hardin County GOP, who made a case for differentiation among the rally attendees. He argued that many who participated in the rally before the riot were merely exercising their First Amendment rights. Coleman went on to emphasize that those accused of grave offenses should be distinguished from individuals who were simply trespassing.

That is why we have courts to decide. Hevis correct that those at the rally or any rally are exercising their 1st amendment rights.
But those rights end when they start to engage in criminal activity. Which of course they did.

Personally I believe that people who Blick traffic or burn down police stations also should have the book thrown at them.

Blocking traffic? Really?

So you're against the concept of civil disobedience? You think that sit-down protesters should be imprisoned? You think that Rosa Parks should have been imprisoned?

Another false equivalency. Plus Parks did nothing to prevent the bus from proceeding.
A group of assholes blocking an interstate in a major city is 100pct wrong and illegal. The judges who slap them on the wrist should be disbarred.

If you want to protest do it legally. Or suffer the consequences as the January 6th people are doing.

You should look into the tactic of civil disobedience. Blocking streets is a big part of it. You disrupt peacefully. Everything Gandhi did was illegal. So you say he should have been imprisoned.

Protests cause inconvenience. It's often how they work and sometimes the point. You don't get noticed if your protest is quiet and unassuming unless you're a black NFL quarterback, then it gets noticed but the reasons you were protesting also get forgotten because of how you protested.

Anyway, unnoticed protests are not effective (for the most part. See above)

Yep. Started a thread on Civil Disobedience here - http://radiofreeliberal.com/viewtopic.php?t=2464 It's an important topic and worthy of discussion.

Yeah, I remember when Kaepernick started his protest, Glenn wanted to explain what kind of protest should be acceptable what shouldn't be acceptable. It's always about control, isn't it?

Proud Boys member sentenced to 6 years in prison for Capitol riot role after berating judge

WASHINGTON (AP) — A man who stormed the U.S. Capitol with fellow Proud Boys extremist group members was sentenced on Wednesday to six years in prison after he berated and insulted the judge who punished him.

Marc Bru repeatedly interrupted Chief Judge James Boasberg before he handed down the sentence, calling him a “clown” and a “fraud” presiding over a “kangaroo court.” The judge warned Bru that he could be kicked out of the courtroom if he continued to disrupt the proceedings.

New Jan. 6 footage appears to show rioter firing a gun in the air during Capitol attack

WASHINGTON — Newly unearthed footage from Jan. 6, 2021, appears to show a rioter — a man identified in an NBC News story nearly two years ago — firing a gun into the air outside the Capitol during the attack.

Online sleuths who have aided in hundreds of Jan. 6 prosecutions say he is the same man they identified to the FBI who is currently individual No. 200 on the bureau’s Capitol Violence page, which he first appeared on three years ago. Videos and photographs from the Capitol on Jan. 6 showed him with what appears to be a gun in his waistband. As NBC News previously reported, that man, John Emanuel Banuelos, told Salt Lake City police that he was at the Capitol and had been captured on film with a gun. “I was in the D.C. riots,” he told the investigators, according to a police transcript. “I’m the one in the video with the gun right here.”
