A Capitol riot suspect who had guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his van when he was arrested near former president Barack Obama’s Washington home has been indicted on federal firearms charges, authorities have said.

    How does this fuckers get arrested without incident? You’d think someone attempting to assassinate a former president would be fully committed and make every effort to go out in a hail of bullets if they failed. I’m sure this guy will be in prison for a long time but the fact that a would-be assassin wasn’t brought to an ICU or morgue after capture seems like an invitation for more of this.

      Hey now, there’s nothing illegal about camping outside of someone’s house with hundreds of rounds of ammunition and multiple firearms waiting for an opportunity to strike. I thought this was America!

      He got his ass kicked in the jail where he was being held. So now the wanna be assassin is in isolation. Yum - nutraloaf.
