-Lurid Crime Tales-
Man wanted on Jan. 6 charges arrested with explosives near Obama’s Washington home
2023-06-30
Possibly lurid crime, possibly an overreaction or a frame up. Hopefully it will be revealed, so this can be properly filed.
[IsraelTimes] Taylor Taranto, 37, had made threats against a public figure, was carrying weapons and components for a bomb
Idiot.
A man armed with kabooms and weapons, and wanted for crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol, was arrested Thursday in the Washington neighborhood where former US President Barack Obama
That’s just how white folks will do you....
lives, law enforcement officials said.

Taylor Taranto, 37, was spotted by law enforcement a few blocks from the former president’s home and fled, though he was chased by US Secret Service agents. Taranto has an open warrant on charges related to the insurrection, two law enforcement officials said. The officials were not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing case and spoke to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named on condition of anonymity.

They said Taranto also had made social media threats against a public figure.
Don’t do that.
He was found with weapons and materials to create an bomb, though one had not been built, one of the officials said.
Or possibly there was a normal use for, say, garden tools and a bag of fertilizer — we know how excitable the feds can get.
No one was injured. It was not clear whether the Obamas were at their home at the time of his arrest.
I assume not. Otherwise the Ay Pee journalist would have gone on and on about how brave they are, and how persecuted.
Metropolitan Police arrested Taranto on charges of being a runaway from justice.
Did he know he was wanted? Did anyone else?
The explosives team swept Taranto’s van and said there were no threats to the public.

Taranto was a US Navy veteran and a webmaster for the Republican Party in Franklin County, in Washington state, according to the Tri-City Herald newspaper. He told the newspaper in an interview last year that he was volunteering for the Republican Party.

It wasn’t clear what, exactly, Taranto is accused of doing in the riot, where supporters of then-president Donald Trump

smashed windows of the Capitol and beat and bloodied coppers in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

More than 1,000 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Capitol riot. Over 600 of them have pleaded guilty, while approximately 100 others have been convicted after trials decided by judges or juries. More than 550 riot defendants have been sentenced, with over half receiving terms of imprisonment ranging from six days to 18 years.

#3  Per radio this AM his "explosives" were Molotovs. Remember the 2 rioting Attys were caught with after firebombing a NYPD cruiser were treated with kid gloves as lovable lil scamps. I doubt he will get the same treatment
