It appears to be Civil WOAR!

Menzo · 2021-08-19T16:53:46.838Z

Is he a terrorist or a freedom fighter?

It’s good to have some confirmation on his background. I mean people were bound to jump to conclusions based on the height of his suspension alone.

Menzo · 2021-08-19T16:57:42.522Z

This guy is at once both:

A noble patriot fighting for our freedoms
An ANTIFA plant meant to make Q-anon followers look bad

The science is compelling.

Wonder why all that cash is in the street?

In the Facebook Live video I just watched, the alleged Capitol bomb threat suspect suggests Biden's election was illegitimate, says Democrats need to step down, says "y'all need to understand people don't want you there."

He also says that there are four other bombs elsewhere in DC. "I don't know where they are at. We all came in different ways, but we all came from the same place."

White privilege at its finest. If that guy were a slightly darker shade he’d be dead already.

From the Washington Post account:

At one point, he showed piles of coins in the back of the truck and said he threw $3,000 in cash onto a sidewalk.

Crazy dude is crazy. Also a Republican.

I just saw a notification that the New York Times is deploying a battalion of reporters to diners across Cleveland County as we speak.

Breaking News : Senator Richard Burr spotted leaving his office with a broom and dustpan. Says he “has urgent meeting with an important constituent”.

Dude just surrendered.

vyshka · 2021-08-19T18:42:34.806Z

I guess he wasn’t a true believer. Surrendered to the police.

scottagibson · 2021-08-19T18:43:47.320Z

Pretty sure it was just economic anxiety.

Floyd Ray Roseberry: Facebook Live Video From Truck Near U.S. Capitol

Ray Roseberry was identified as the man in a truck during an active bomb threat investigation near the Library of Congress through Facebook Live videos he streamed from the vehicle.

KevinC · 2021-08-19T18:49:30.134Z

Quite the level of intelligence on display.

He claimed to be apolitical, but he aired disgust with Democrats for the withdrawal from Afghanistan and suggested Biden was not democratically elected.

He said “this isn’t about politics” and that he doesn’t “care if Donald Trump becomes president again.” He said all the Democrats in the Senate "should step down because the people don’t want you there.”

“Democrats, you’re killing America,” he said at one point.

It’s not political, but Democrats are killing America, they all need to leave office, and Biden isn’t legitimate. No politics, though.
