Alleged Jan. 6 Rioter Tries to Sell Home on Zillow, Inadvertently Reveals Cache of Explosives: FBI


Screen_Shot_2021-11-05_at_5.22.27_PM_o2yul6


A former Green Beret and one-time congressional candidate arrested last month for his alleged participation in the Capitol riot was illegally stockpiling explosives prior to being jailed on charges related to the Jan. 6 pro-Trump siege, according to an FBI search warrant filed Friday in Washington, D.C. federal court. When federal agents searched 47-year-old Jeremy Brown’s Florida home in October, they reported finding a short-barrel rifle, a sawed-off shotgun, more than 8,000 rounds of ammunition, and two hand grenades. But it was a picture included in a sales listing for his house on Zillow that led to his latest troubles. In a photo from “what appears to be Brown’s office,” FBI agents spotted a whiteboard with columns labeled “Food,” “Clothing,” “Shelter,” “Currency,” “Communicate,” “Move,” and “Shoot,” the warrant states. In the “shoot” column, it continues, “there are numerous firearms listed and explosive devices such as ‘flash bangs.’” The entry on the whiteboard indicated that Brown had the flash bangs “on hand,” the filing says, adding that Brown “is not registered to possess explosive devices.”

Mannnnnn :smh: ... The post above is even worse than I thought... These people are willfully looney...

"When JFK failed to materialize in Dealey Plaza on Tuesday, Protzman and many of his followers went to a Rolling Stones concert, where many claimed they met Michael Jackson in disguise."

Shaq adds to $30,000 reward to find suspect who shot cop
NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal has contributed to a $30,000 reward to find the suspect who shot a police officer last week in Georgia. The Henry County police officer, identified as 38-year-old Paramhans Desai, is fighting for his life.
Desai was shot while responding to a domestic disturbance last Thursday when he was trying to make an arrest, police said. Desai was taken to a local hospital, where he is in critical condition, police said.
Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for 22-year-old Jordan Jackson, who is wanted on aggravated assault charges in connection with the shooting. Police said Jackson drove away in a 2016 Honda Civic with a Georgia license plate and have described him as "armed and dangerous."
Efforts to catch Jackson have ramped up in recent days. The Henry County Sheriff's Office is offering $10,000, the U.S. Marshals Office is contributing $10,000, Crime Stoppers Atlanta is giving $5,000 and O'Neal is donating $5,000 – for a total reward of $30,000, authorities said Saturday. O'Neal lives in the county and was hired earlier this year to be the director of community relations for the Henry County Sheriff's Office

"Mr. Jackson, whatever hole you're in, I assure you we're coming to find you, we will place you in custody and we will bring you to justice immediately," Henry County sheriff Reginald B. Scandrett said in a news conference.
CBS affiliate WGCL-TV reports Desai is married and has two small children. Desai, whose law enforcement career has spanned 17 years, worked for the Georgia Department of Corrections and the DeKalb County Police Department before joining the Henry County Police Department.

Ohio Supreme Court hears case of Cincinnati police officer who anonymously sued those calling him racist online



The Ohio Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday on whether a Cincinnati police officer can remain anonymous in a defamation lawsuit he filed against several people who called him racist.
Cincinnati officer Ryan Olthaus sued at least four people who have accused him of racism after he made the "OK" symbol during a June 2020 City Council meeting. The meeting occurred as protests swept the country over the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer.
The four people said the symbol has become a dog whistle for white supremacists as the shape of the hand resembles the letter W and P for "white power." The ambiguous nature and meme-like status of the symbol makes it an easy tool for trolling or for subtly broadcasting racist intent.
Olthaus can be seen on video making the gesture after a heated moment between the crowd and a security guard. In court documents, he states there was no racism behind the use of the symbol. He said he was just trying to tell the crowd everything was OK.

Terhas White filed a complaint against Olthaus with the Cincinnati Police Department. This document included the officer's name and description of the incident matching what court documents describe.
Others complained openly about the hand symbol and named Olthaus during the City Council meeting that day, and some took to social media to criticize him.
What the lawsuit says
In August, Olthaus filed a lawsuit against White, local writer Julie Neisen and others. The suit states that his privacy was "tortiously violated," that people disseminated personal information about him online, and that he was defamed.
"People in the crowd made the juvenile, unfounded, incorrect and hysterical claim that (the officer's) innocuous 'okay' gesture was a 'white power' or 'white supremacist' hand signal intended to intimidate people," the suit states.
Zach Gottesman, who represents Olthaus, said Cincinnati police intelligence found messages on social media boards in which people were talking about taking "actual concrete steps to harm him and his family."
Judge Megan Shanahan agreed to allow Olthaus to proceed with his case under a pseudonym: the initials M.R. Shanahan also approved a temporary restraining order barring Neisen and White from releasing any personal information about the officer.
The Ohio Supreme Court will hear several specific issues on the case, none of which will ultimately decide the case, but could set the tone.
What the defendants say
Jennifer Kinsley, who represents White and one other defendant, has argued that any judge's order restricting the free speech of her client should have been reviewed immediately by a higher court.
"There must be immediate appellate review," Kinsley said. "My client never got that second look."
She said part of the question before the Ohio Supreme Court is whether her client's speech was constitutionally protected, so their decision could impact the rest of the case.
The Enquirer has also filed briefs and motions in the case stating that Olthaus should not be able to proceed with his case under a pseudonym. Judge Shananan denied those motions in August 2020.
"Must we wait until this officer's wife is stabbed in the eye with an ice pick on her doorstep before we find real-world evidence (of harm)?" Shanahan said at the time.
The case in Hamilton County has been in a holding pattern awaiting different appeals court decisions and now for a possible ruling from the Ohio Supreme Court.
It could take months for the Ohio Supreme Court to reach a decision on the case.
