Summary
Ryan Michael “Reily” English was arrested at the U.S. Capitol with Molotov cocktails and a knife, allegedly planning to kill newly confirmed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Initially targeting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth or House Speaker Mike Johnson, English changed plans after learning about Bessent’s Senate vote.
He told police he was prepared to kill officers to reach his target and contemplated suicide by cop.
English also considered attacking the Heritage Foundation.
He faces multiple federal charges, including possession of explosives on Capitol grounds.
Multiple of these stories within a few days and they turn themselves in before even trying anything. Something doesn’t add up about these stories.
Edit: it honestly feels like they are laying the groundwork to suspend/call martial law, or do something else extreme to remove barriers to doing stuff.
While they don’t say, this one seems to be liberal (from MA, some twisted concern for women’s rights). It may also be to turn the idea that it’s right wing extremists who are usually the terrorists

Agreed, however, the trump admin will do what they want anyway and nobody will stop them.
Anyway, can you believe the Democrats and their genocideds?
