    Another highly accurate headline...

    “Smith is what we call a sleeper, and these are the most concerning individuals because there are no opportunities to intervene and thwart their criminal activity before they actually act,” Gualtieri told the press conference.

    “There’s absolutely nothing out there,” he said of his social media presence, calling it “most unusual.”

    “Smith refused to give any information, he refused to talk to deputies,” the sheriff said, suggesting that they “really have no idea as to what his political leanings are.”

    I'll go on record and say he should be charged and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

    Pretty sure antifa want nothing to do with Jamaica. I would prevent him from going to Seattle, however.

    OMG... TOTALLY changed my opinion of January 6th, and the persistence with the GOP to overturn democratic elections. I NOW see that my side is just as bad, and now I'm so numb to it that I think that this is just another day, and we should just act like times are normal, and send Dumb and Dumber memes instead of actually dealing with anything because... My side is going to win anyway, and we have all the guns.

    Also... I checked, and Jonathan Turley has not spoken yet on the topic so I probably should wait for his expert legal opinion first before judging anything.

    he was just a tourist, right trumpers!?!?

    seriously though, we should all be able to agree that people who engage in acts of violence, insurrection or terrorism be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. i bet you wont find anyone in this thread who disagrees with that. but you will if you look in the january 6th thread!

    From the linked article that the NY Post article referenced to substantiate "Antifa" in its headline:

    Oldsmar man had explosive device near Jan. 6 anniversary rally in Pinellas, sheriff says (tampabay.com)

    "In affidavits, the arresting detective, under the “aggravating/mitigating” section of the report, notes “Antifa” and requests a high bail. In one of the reports, the detective wrote “Antifa/Anti gov/Extrem.” However, Gualtieri said it was too early to say with which group Smith may be affiliated. The Sheriff’s Office found no prior intelligence on him and is cooperating with the FBI on the investigation."

    I like the last line in the article...

    "However, supporters insist that he is a political prisoner."

    What supporters? Is there any actual evidence that anyone said that?

    It's troubling that not wasting one's life on social media stupidly talking politics is considered "most unusual."
