US Capitol riot: DC government sues Proud Boys, Oath Keepers
An amusing thought, given how many of the leaders for those organizations were actually on the FBI payroll and therefore following FBI orders. But one can’t expect Deutsche Welle journalists to be aware of any of that — they’ll have got their narrative from the New York Times, Washington Post, and International Herald Tribune.
[DW] The bully boy groups Proud Boys and Oath Keepers have been hit with a civil lawsuit for "conspiring to terrorize" Washington, DC, by the violent mostly peaceful January 6 attack.

District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine
...immigrant from Haiti, Clinton White House lawyer, first elected Washington, DC district attorney (in 2015), activist for immigrant issues — if he isn’t a Soros DA, he still fits the mold....
on Tuesday announced a civil lawsuit against two bully boy groups over their role in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol Hill.

The Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, along with more than 30 individuals who are associated with the groups, have been accused of "conspiring to terrorize the District of Columbia," according to Racine.

"I'm suing the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, the first civil lawsuit by a government entity against the Jan. 6 insurrectionists. They caused extensive damage to the District (of Columbia, DC), our democracy and particularly the brave men and women of our Metropolitan Police Department," Racine said on Twitter.

Racine went on to say: "I'm seeking damages in this case and will keep working to ensure such an assault never happens again."

THE JANUARY 6 RIOT
On January 6, hundreds of supporters of former US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
stormed into the US Capitol in a bid to disrupt the confirmation of President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier. Of course Corn Pop is a real person....
's victory.

Lawmakers were forced into hiding as protesters breached security.
That’s certainly one perspective, though not one that completely matches the facts...
In the chaos, five people were killed
...one actually — Ashli Babbitt, unnecessarily shot dead by a Capitol Police lieutenant who broke most of the generally accepted rules of police use of firearms to do so. The others died of various causes in the days and weeks following the protest of various reasons more or less related to that day’s events...
and many more were maimed. A number of those who were arrested were identified as being involved with bully boy groups.

Trump and his allies have been falsely accused of inciting the rioters in a speech shortly before the violence broke out. Last week, a federal court of appeals ruled against Trump, who had tried to keep White House documents relating to the January 6 Reichstag Capitol
...A demonstration held in the capital in support of President Trump and against election thievery that Dems have been calliing an insurrection. It's the Dem equivalent of the Reichstag Fire...
breach secret.

The three-judge panel rejected Trump's claim that the documents were protected by executive privilege, saying they were in fact vital for an investigation into what led hundreds of people to attack the Capitol.

Several individual members of the Oath Keepers were accused of conspiring to block the congressional certification of Biden's victory. At least one of them so far has pleaded guilty in a conspiracy case and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.

WHO ARE THE PROUD BOYS?
The Proud Boys are categorized as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center
...scare mongering fundraising machine for the left, not the research group calmly sifting actual evidence they claim to be. They used to be that, two or three generations ago, but propaganda is more fun, considerably less work, and lets them discriminate within their ranks with no feeling of guilt...
and a number of other civil rights organizations. 

The group was established in 2016 by Canadian-British right-wing activist and Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes.
Mr. McInnes has been a hipster-provocateur since the 1990s...
He has since distanced himself from the group.

The Canadian group classifies the Proud Boys as a terrorist group.
Well, Canada.
The all-male organization, which describes itself as a haven for "Western chauvinists," holds a history of street violence against left-wing groups and activists.

WHO ARE THE OATH KEEPERS?
The Oath Keepers is a right-wing organization formed in 2009 by army veteran Stuart Rhodes, shortly after the election of Barack Obama
How much damage could he do in four years?... Eight, then...
. The group seeks to uphold and defend its interpretation of the constitution.

Its name - the Oath Keepers - refers to the idea of taking an oath which law enforcement officials and members of the military undertake.

According to its leadership, the group is made up of current and former members of the military and law enforcement.

A core document the group follows is called the "Declaration of orders we will not obey." These are 10 specific orders members of the group will refuse to obey. These include refusing to disarm American people, refusing to place Americans in detention camps and refusing to blockade US cities among other orders.

#1 Unofficial estimates of the Trump Rally crowd size was 1 million people. That many people could not have fitted into the capital building along with Antifa dressed as Trump supporters causing the damage and "attacking" capital police while capital police were leading Trump supporters into the capital as a part of a well orchestrated entrapment by the FBI, etc..

#2 The Capitol Protest was largely organic. It would have happened whether or not various groups (FBI, Antifa, PB, etc) were there or not. The game changer was Capitol Police opening the doors and letting people in. Had that not occurred history would be different.
