I read an article where they said these people didn't so much leave social media breadcrumbs as they left whole loaves.

[rdumiak]

Here's the ironic part - many of them can actually be charged under Trumps June "Monuments Act" and potentially serve 10 years in prison.

*“But anyways I’ll see you in court, and if you were there maybe literally.”*

It’s so good hearing that in this situation.

[WillRennar]

So basically, the answer to "No arrests?" can be summed up in one word:
*Yet.*

[invertin]

Not only did many of them tape themselves, they also encouraged eachother to destroy onsite security cameras. Which, as we all know, does not actually destroy the footage those cameras picked up, and as none of them were wearing masks of any kind as they did this, that's a lot of identifiable faces.

[ManicEightBall]

You can call them shorts. Personally, I would have gone with "briefs".

[TheMooMasterZee]

They don't even need to search through social media, they can just look at the media recordings where people share their name and area of residence and admit what they did... openly.

[Jefff]

This just in!
Mexico: We'll pay for the wall!
Canada: We want one too!

[RedCrusaderArc]

Foreign spies: You mean we just walk in wearing red hats?

[alienkinkvr]

Your channel isn't just entertaining, it's important.

Thanks, man.

Should the police taking selfies with the intruders in the Capitol get in trouble/face charges/whatever? That is just crazy and seems like more than a dereliction of duty at the minimum. ^^

[Jhenryx]

When someone is killed during the commission of a felony (ie Ashly and the Capitol policeman), isn't everyone involved in that felony subject to second-degree murder charges?

[joannahampton]

Their pictures are online and authorities are offering money to identify them....who needs cash about now?

[taou]

Anyone who filmed themselves doing illegal stuff in the capital on Wednesday are as capable of logical reasoning as a drunk dog surrounded by mountains of food.

[ZephyrusAsmodeus]

"Ill see you in court, and if you were there on Wednesday, maybe literally." Best part xD

[doncosstick]

A few years ago when my kid was heading off to college I told me to assume he was on camera when was out and about.This was not long after a street party near his college got out of hand.People filmed it and put it up on social media.Guess what the cops did.

[stargazer]

I second the objection to calling these videos "shorts" instead of "briefs".

[clockworkdeity]

"Anyways, I'll see you in court."
*recieves legal notice later that day entitled "LegalEagle vs. YouTube Audience"*

[Dimensiom]

As I understand, they can avoid arrest if they have their car repainted.

At least, that is what the Grand Theft Auto games taught me.

Talks about the Capital Riot, zero on all the riots for the past 9 months. Thanks for making your side super apparent.
