Put on No Fly List - couldn't get home.

Been arrested.

It may have been "fun" on the 6th. Now? Maybe not so much.

I mean, really, who's gonna sign up to act a fool when you got some of the last batch still sitting in jail and the FBI knocking on doors all over the country? And Trump, silent and moping. Who wants to get behind that sad sack at this point?

and internet sleuths. What did he have planned possibly? Now I don't want that kind of surveillance and investigation of ordinary citizens on a regular basis, but that not what this would be. Could be guys that had been talking a lot of shit that was illegal, but never went to DC. They might end up being identified as a match for threats they could have gotten away with.

The QAnon clowns have been posting “breadcrumbs” for days suggesting a special significance to 1/18. And we better not be letting our guard down until after 1/20.

I do think the coordinators and hard-core revolutionaries will want to continue, but I really don't think they will still have the large numbers supporting them.

Still, a small, dedicated group of terrorists can do a lot of harm.

Among those being encouraged to cause mayhem are many mentally unbalanced people, not just drunks.

They caught one guy with a pistol and ammo trying to sneak into a protected zone. Will they catch them all? I sure hope so, but something must be done to stop this endless incitement to violence by right wing wack jobs.
