Another one arrested (some really disturbing stuff here):

Authorities say Bryan Betancur, arrested today in connection to the U.S. Capitol insurrection, told them about his membership in "several white supremacy organizations."

He's seen in court docs holding a Confederate flag, wearing a Proud Boys T-shirt and flashing an "ok" sign.

"BETANCUR has voiced homicidal ideations, made comments about conducting a school shooting, and has researched mass shootings. BETANCUR voiced support for James Fields, the individual convicted for killing an individual with his car during protests in Charlottesville, Virginia."

Means (or at least used to mean) asshole. It was a challenge keeping us Americans who may not have known better from doing it and unintentionally insulting our European friends.

Now he's a white supremacist (and insurrectionist) that doesn't want to hurt people.
So not to worry.

All cells in Florence are solitary confinement, and they work very hard to stop communication between the prisoners.

"told them about his membership in "several white supremacy organizations."

Not to make light of these folks, but I wonder if their numbers are smaller than we think. One guy who is in 10 groups is still just one guy.

Latin American right-wingers were largely limited to Cuban exiles in the past - but over the past 30 years, a large number have come from Colombia.



The Flawrida GOP is keenly aware of this, and have been actively courting them - in at least partial collusion with Colombia's own government, we now know from seemingly coordinated social media campaigns since 2016.
