"SNIP.....
A California police chief turned Stop the Steal organizer has been indicted on conspiracy charges by a D.C. grand juryalong with five other alleged Capitol rioters, the Daily Beast reports.
The men are members of the Three Percenters militia group, and brought two-way radios, bear spray, knives, stun batons, bulletproof vests, and a range of other weaponry to use in storming the Capitol.

Why doesn't Goddard mention the name and city? Maybe it isn't fact checked yet before publishing?

(13,591 posts)The indictment is not the first time the feds have accused rioters of conspiring together before the unprecedented and deadly attack intended to stave off a Joe Biden presidency. Members of two other extremist groups, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, have also been charged with conspiracy offenses. And at least one baseball-bat-wielding suspected Three Percenter associate was charged as far back as mid-January.
But these are the first riot-related conspiracy charges to be slapped against a group of Three Percenters, described by the Anti-Defamation League as a militia movement that supports the idea of a small number of dedicated patriots protecting Americans from government tyranny.
