    Default Rioters accused of erasing content from social media, phones

    PHOENIX (AP) — They flaunted their participation in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol on social media and then, apparently realizing they were in legal trouble, rushed to delete evidence of it, authorities say. Now their attempts to cover up their role in the deadly siege are likely to come back to haunt them in court.

    An Associated Press review of court records has found that at least 49 defendants are accused of trying to erase incriminating photos, videos and texts from phones or social media accounts documenting their conduct as a pro-Donald Trump mob stormed Congress and briefly interrupted the certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory.

    Default FBI launches flurry of arrests over attacks on journalists during Capitol riot

    Nearly six months after the U.S. Capitol riot, the Justice Department has begun arresting a new category of alleged criminals — those who attacked reporters or damaged their equipment as journalists documented the violence perpetrated by supporters of President Donald Trump.

    The first such charge came last week, when 43-year-old Shane Jason Woods of Illinois was charged with engaging in violence on the Capitol grounds Jan. 6, as well as assaulting a law enforcement officer. Authorities say Woods was caught on video knocking down a cameraman.

    Invoke whataboutism all you want to.

    An insurrection is an insurrection. Is it an abuse of the definition of insurrection to apply it to CHOP?

    You can apply it to CHOP and others all you want. You can create a thread about it.

    They should have just mowed them down on the capitol steps, Tiananmen Square style.

    I have no problem with gunning down insurrectionist trumpanzees.
    They signed up for that when they revolted.

    I have a big problem with invading the privacy of people's phones, however.
    That, to me, is the greater invasion of rights.
    Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775
    Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848
    Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Kris Kristofferson, 1969
