5. An ex student of mine in the bottom photo

Second from the right, in all tan camo with Mohawk.

He’s part of the group that plotted to kidnap the governor of Michigan.

He was actually a pretty good kid.

Jr Firefighter, Jr EMT.

Went to the army and was medically discharged.

Not sure what happened in between. I saw him in November of 2019 when he came back to visit and that’s when he told me about the army situation.

Cults will do that. But I’m sure he met some folks in those circles that had some extremist ideas. Also from a very red area.

I've lost several friends because they spent way too much time on Facebook and came out hardcore right wing conservative nutjobs. It's a plague and it's destroying everything in its' path.

Is that for covid or to hid from police? It's fitting we find the word "riots"
in who they claim they are.

Justice matters.

13. There's one on top right and it's for protecting the others from COVID.

The ones on the bottom are definitively not for protecting each other from COVID.

17. Remember the good old days when little Tucker was just a frat boy clown in a bow tie?

Exchange the bow tie for a brown shirt.

No big surprise.

The Taliban is trying to return Afghanistan to its "traditional" roots, 13th century medievalism, a tiny, religiously backed ruling class and a massive, uneducated (except in their version of the Koran) population of peasants, same as the "patriots" assaulting the Capitol. Well, almost. The Capitol insurrectionists (or, at least many of their co-conspirators) want a theocracy based (very loosely, often incorrectly) on the Bible.
