[marmar]

(Detroit Metro Times) A Michigan couple charged with participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol was forced to take a bus home from Washington, D.C., because they lost a car owned by one of their grandmothers.

Isaac Thomas, 20, of Flint, is accused of striking multiple officers with the pole of a blue Trump flag as he and Christina Legros, 22, of Beaverton, stormed the Capitol with a mob.



Video shows Thomas throwing a Gatorade bottle at a police officer and encouraging the crowd to attack other officers.

“Get him, guys, get him!” he says in a video.

Thomas was charged with several felonies, including assaulting officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon. Legros was charged with several misdemeanors. ...........(more)

GRANDMA'S car to drive to it.

8. Good one!

20 years old and already a felon. Hope that follows him throughout his miserable life.

12. borrowed or stole?

[Takket]

13. haha. Great question. We'll never know until the trial i guess

[ShazzieB]

16. "Borrowed."

Borrowing a thing is when you ask to use something that isn't yours and return it afterwards.

"Borrowing" is when you intend to return it, but fail to do so (and oh, BTW, you didn't actually ask before you took it).

3. Dude, where's my car?

“After the couple left the Capitol, they couldn’t figure out where they parked Legros’s grandma’s Chevrolet Equinox. Four days later, they returned to Michigan in a Greyhound bus.”

I don’t know what to make of that. I’ve had trouble finding my car, and the only time I really was near calling it quits, I had figured maybe the car was stolen and was going to report it as such.

Surely they had some idea of the general vicinity in which they parked it.

But the part of this that really sucks is the complete lack of follow up on the question of whatever became of the car?

Or did they sell it cash, no docs to someone?

4. Am I the only one who doesn't believe they were clueless about where they parked, but rather

after the insurrection they began to fear that the vicinity of wherever they parked would probably have lots of cops and cameras, and were scared to return to look for it for fear of being ID'd or questioned while wandering around?

6. Either that or the car was towed away.

Here is that mouth breather hitting a cop w/his Trump flag.

[Hortensis]

9. Forgetting where a car is is so common, but yes -- whether they "lost" it or not,

it seems very likely they were afraid to hang around trying to locate it or to claim it. If it was towed, there should be a record, and a car.

10. Towed, it would be traceable in the impound lot. But the cost of storage would ow be more than the

value of the car.

I vote, they "sold" it.

[Srkdqltr]

14. Bet you are right. Gramma is out of luck.

If it were mine they would be in jail already.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. It was NOT a spontaneous riot; it was a planned, incited, executed INSURRECTION.

[kairos12]

15. Dude MAGA, where's my car?

[Demobrat]

17. What I want to know is

what were they doing for four days? Partying in a cheap hotel room? Sleeping in alleyways? Panhandling for cash to get home? Did they call grandma collect to wire them bus fare? Did she refuse to accept the charges?


After the couple left the Capitol, they couldn’t figure out where they parked Legros’s grandma’s Chevrolet Equinox. Four days later, they returned to Michigan in a Greyhound bus.

19. While these traitors are enjoying the fine prison cuisine, Granny can take the bus

20. Disgusting

Lock him up!
