Capitol Hill Arrests: Section Ten

Andrew Bennett: In the affidavit supporting his arrest, law enforcement officials make note of Facebook videos, placing Bennett inside the Capitol. 

A sense of  his state of mind can be discerned from a post before he headed for the nation’s capital. 

You better be ready chaos is coming and I will be in DC on 1/6/2021 fighting for my freedom! #FIGHTBACK for Lin Wood and his family!

 

PS. #BidensLaptopMatters #FUCKCANCELCULTURE #FUCKANTIFA #FUCKCOMMIESCUM #FUCKCHINA #STOPTHESTEAL This is my _line___ ether you with me or against me FAFO! Keep thinking I’m crazy!”

 

A search of his home by F.B.I. agents also turned up a “Proud Boys” hat similar to the one he is allegedly seen wearing during the riot.

Affidavit of arrest

Daniel Page Adams: Charged with assaulting an officer; affidavit of arrest notes his “mullet hairdo” in one photo. 

That seems like a low blow to a man’s esteem. 


Adams and the mullet?

Cody Page Connell: According to the F.B.I., Connell posted messages on social media, explaining that he was heading for D.C., stating, “Join President Donald J. Trump at the Save America March.” 

Connell is also said to have posted a number of videos and photos that place him and his cousin in the middle of the riot. In one video, law enforcement officials say, Adams can be seen at the front of a crowd, pushing toward a line of United States Capitol Police. 

At the beginning of the video, ADAMS repeatedly asks to those around him, “let’ go. Are you ready to push?” ADAMS is directly in front of a line of capital police officers who are holding protective shields up between themselves and ADAMS. At this point, ADAMS starts yelling, “let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!” and he and others appear to sprint up the Capitol steps, chasing the officers who are now repositioning themselves at the top of the stairs. ADAMS then engages in a direct struggle with law enforcement officers who are attempting to prevent ADAMS and others from breaking the line again. ADAMS continuously shouts, “come on, let’s go, let’s go, come on, let’s go,” in an apparent effort to encourage others to keep launching forward toward the officers and the Capitol building. The video then shows ADAMS physically engaging with another set of officers at the top of the steps. The video ends with a loud thud and ADAMS holding his head and uttering an expletive.

 

…Figure 11 depicts ADAMS holding his head and looking into the camera at the end of the apparent altercation. 

(Let’s hope his mullet wasn’t damaged.)

 

The day after the riot, Connell described his role and the role of his cousin, sending a video to a third party. 

“That’s my cousin. When we storm the cops there was 8 of them and 4 of us so he got clubbed and shot with rubber bullet. But we pushed the cops against the wall, they dropped all their gear and left. That’s when we went to doors of Capitol building and breached it.” The other individual responded, “Yall boys something serious lol it lookin like a civil war yet?” CONNELL answered: “It’s gonna come to it.”

 

Your affiant believes CONNELL may intend to return to Washington, D.C. sometime during the week of January 18, 2021. According to a witness, CONNELL has communicated with at least two other individuals in Texas about purchasing long-rifle firearms, ammunition, and body armor to bring with them. According to the witness, CONNELL explain that he was not returning to Louisiana unless he was in a body bag. Your afcent understood that to mean CONNELL intended to travel to Washington D.C. to cause violence that may result in the end of his life. 

Arrested along with Adams, his cousin, Connel posted warning on social media in reference to the Biden inauguration, “We will be back and it will be a whole lot worse than yesterday.”

Brandon Straka: An organizer of “Stop the Steal” rallies, Straka, 44, allegedly urged members of the mob to attack a police officer and take away his shield during the January 6 riot. He called for “a revolution” on that day. 

In a report on January 26, NBC news noted that Straka, “a gay Trump supporter who launched the #WalkAway social media campaign encouraging voters to leave the Democratic Party, has been arrested in connection with the assault on the U.S. Capitol this month.” 

Straka is well-known in conservative circles, even though many who travel in conservative circles would tell you that any gay man like him is going to end up burning eternally in hell and will deserve it. 

We know he was also a featured speaker at the “Stop the Steal” rally in Freedom Plaza in D.C. on January 5. 

According to the affidavit for his arrest, the man who describes himself proudly as an “ex-liberal” posted a number of tweets, expressing his disappointment over what happened after the mob stormed the Capitol. 

(No, not to the five deaths, nor the scores of injuries.) 

“For 6-8 weeks everybody on the right has been saying ‘1776!’ & that if congress moves forward it will mean a revolution! So congress moves forward. Patriots storm the Capitol – now everybody is virtual signaling their embarrassment that this happened.” 

“Perhaps I missed the part where it was agreed this would be a revolution of ice cream cones & hair-braiding parties to take our government back from lying, cheating globally interested swamp parasites. My bad.” 

As for Antifa, Straka scorned the idea that they had been involved. “Be embarrassed & hide if you need to- but I was there,” he proudly proclaimed. “It was not Antifa at the Capitol. It was freedom loving Patriots who were DESPERATE to fight for the final hope of our Republic because literally nobody cares about them. Everyone else can denounce them. I will not.”

Rasha Abual Ragheb: Ms. Ragheb is a known member of the Three-Percenters. She warned in a Facebook chat group that the “revolution will start not by standing by but by standing up” and said civil war was coming. People needed to “show support and rise up and fight” for the Constitution. 

So, she showed up, allegedly rioted, and tangibly got herself arrested and charged with a number of federal crimes.

Christopher Michael Alberts: Alberts has been charged with entering the Capitol, and carrying a pistol and ammunition, “specifically a Taurus G2C, 9mm handgun and 9mm caliber ammunition.” 

According to WBAL News Radio, Alberts was still lingering on Capitol grounds after a curfew had been imposed on the evening of January 6, in the wake of the tragic events of the day. An officer asked him to leave the area, but he was slow to act. 

The officer noticed a bulge on his hip, which the officer believed to be consistent with a handgun. He tapped the bulge with his baton and confirmed his suspicion. Alberts was also wearing a bullet-proof vest and carrying a backpack.


The officer told two colleagues Alberts was carrying a gun. Alberts then tried to run but was detained with the help of two other officers. They found the handgun along his right hip and a spare magazine on his left hip, both fully loaded. In his backpack, they found a pocketknife, a meal ready to eat and a first aid kit.

 

The affidavit of arrest includes a number of other details of interest. Alberts also had a gas mask in his backpack. The handgun had one round chambered and a dozen more in a clip. The extra magazine was also loaded with twelve rounds. Having been advised of his Miranda rights, Alberts claimed he was carrying the pistol so he could protect himself. 

Also, one would suppose, he was worried that some random mugger might try to get him with poison gas.

Blake A. Reed: The Tennessee man posted on day of riot about his part, stating, “We the People have spoken and we are pissed! No antifa, no BLM…We the People took the Capitol! Every American ethnicity was here. Democratic tyranny WILL NOT STAND! WE HAVE SPOKEN!!” 

He added six flag emojis and a number of hashtags: #Trump #March for Trump #StopTheSteal #landofthefreehomeofthebrave. 

* 

Lisa Marie Eisenhart: mother of Eric Munchel, who was seen carrying a fistful of zip ties inside the Senate chamber; both mother and child have been charged with conspiracy in regard to the attack on January 6. 

In one video, taken before the attack, mom is allegedly shown wearing a bulletproof vest. Other photos and video appear to show both suspects holding flex cuffs and lurking in the halls of the Capitol – one would guess – in case Speaker Pelosi, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Vice President Mike Pence happened past.

Not just the flag of Trump fans.
