They should put out playing cards like they did for Iraqi fugitives.
That would stink if you’re a fugitive and someone puts you as the 3 of Clubs.
Anyone familiar with Penn and Teller knows the Three of Clubs would be an honor these fugitives do not deserve.
Might actually get them to turn themselves in:
"There's no way I'm only the 3 of Clubs. I'm definitely the King of Hearts or Ace of Spades. Who do I talk to about getting that changed?"
How about a deck of Uno cards, since they were trying to reverse the election?
He was defiant during some hearings, invoking language consistent with the sovereign citizen movement.
How you signal that you’re a complete piece of shit and that you’re guilty guilty guilty.
I thought the sovereign citizen thing fizzled out in the early 2010s. Also, it most of all signals that you're incredibly incredibly annoying
It's a mail order scam that targets poor, criminal defendants with no education.
They think they are buying law books of magic phrases that let them do whatever they want in court.
There's a great decision on it from a chief judge in Canada. I'll try and find it.
E - Meads v. Meads by Justice Rooke. Called to decide a simple legal dispute, he wrote a 100+ page treatise on sovereign citizens. It's the seminal work. https://www.canlii.org/en/ab/abqb/doc/2012/2012abqb571/2012abqb571.html
Oh right, yeah I only really knew about it from videos of people being ticketed for speeding or whatever and them shouting about being a so sovereign citizen. It makes total sense that these people would be very easy to scam though
Have they checked all the police departments yet?
And not one of them named Richard Kimble. Enjoy the cell.
It was the one-armed man!
But I know one of them is Red Herring!!!!!
Hm, which states did not participate in the violent insurrection of Washington DC?
Nebraska was the only state where nobody was arrested for Jan6.
Likely the ones farther west from DC and/or smaller populations. Id be surprised if Hawaii had an attendant
Hawaii Proud Boy was in the riot, sentenced in December... Okay I found the list of arrests(https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/capitol-breach-cases) but there's a thousand plus so far, I'll take a rain check on tallying which states escaped the mark of treason.
But I will come back to it. Interesting trivia
No... no, this isn't an acceptable hyperfocus! I HAVE WORK TO DO! AAA-
Well, we go where the serotonin demands.
Here is an alphabetical list and the number of entries on the FBI site for cases in that state. Be advised this is of the number of people who were arrested in each state, so outliers (such as fugitives) aren't made clear, and neother are those who might be listed for multiple arrests in different states.
Additionally, I counted them by hand, on my awful phone, so user error is real.
Finally, I had some mechanical difficulty sorting through the individuals in the state of Washington versus towns named Washington in other states, versus the District of Columbia, the number of which I included after the list.

Also, I found zero incidents listed in any US territories but I may have been searching incorrectly.
I don't think it's fair that North Dakota (population; 763,657) and Wyoming (population 585,587) get the honor of being in the clear. The population of Hawaii (as estimated, my sympathies for the fires) was 1.43 million and produced a mere one insurrectionist. So I think a fairer metric might be insurrectionists by percentage of overall population. It might be skewed in some specific instances (New York being skewed by New York city, as a prime example) but it would be a more interesting metric...
God I hope I forget this thought experiment before I come to work tomorrow.
You could also compare the number of insurrectionists per capita to the expected number. For example, state x has 4% of the country's population but 6% of the insurrectionists.
Was surprised to only see one from my former home state of Mississippi but then i figured most were too poor/busy wage slaving to attend
Oh wow, I was going to do a similar thing with a spreadsheet on my computer, so hats off to the dedication it took you to hunt and peck this information DANG!
I assure you that compiling this data was nonconsensual but my brain is rarely concerned with how I feel about it.
The worst part is, I put together a list of the insurrectionists by state, and I got through New York before I was able to override my impulse and just provide a list of how many per state. I hate being hard-wired for tedious paperwork.
That particular sort of attention must be valued in some marketing or accounting field. Take advantage of your fastidious nature. Or rather, let it roam free.
I'd love to see a sorted bar graph of this
North Dakota surprises me. It's been solidly Trump Territory for a decade.
Maybe they got stuck in the snow and couldn't make it to DC in time.
Definitely had people from Washington show up. I think six Seattle PD officers attended.
Ppff, a bunch of rich, privileged and undereducated people with nothing to do on an island? I'd be surprised if they don't have some participants.
Okay, I'm diving in.
he once reviewed the possibility of denouncing his U.S. citizenship
Pretty sure they mean renouncing...
That's exactly what an innocent person would do... /s
Damn that one dude, more like he deployed his whole chin.
