The attack on the U.S. Capitol has spurred global concerns about the future of democracy and what lies ahead in an age when time-tested beliefs and alliances are being challenged and undone.In Tennessee, legislation was introduced Friday that would require state authorities to investigate any resident who participated in Wednesday’s events. The proposal from Democratic state Rep. London Lamar also states that any “seditious and treasonous acts” at the U.S.
The legislation comes days after Republican Tennessee state Rep. Terri Lynn Weaver attended the pro-Trump demonstrations, which she described as “epic.” It’s unclear if Weaver entered the Capitol.Evans joined and encouraged a crowd that unlawfully entered the Capitol after days of telling his 30,000 Facebook followers to “Fight for Trump” in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, FBI agent David DiMarco wrote in a criminal complaint.
Before the rush on the Capitol, Evans posted a video in which he said, “They’re making an announcement right now: If Pence betrays us you better get your mind right because we’re storming that building,” the charging documents state. He then laughs and adds, “I’m just the messenger, so don’t be hating on me.”
In a now-deleted video that was widely shared online, Evans is seen clamoring inside a jam-packed Capitol building doorway, trying with others to push his way inside. He hollers along with other Trump supporters and fist-bumps a law enforcement officer who let them in. After pushing into the building, video shows, Evans mills around the Capitol Rotunda, where historic paintings depict the republic’s founding, and implores others to not vandalize artwork and busts. Some of the pieces were later vandalized.“Our house!” Evans yells inside Capitol halls. “I don’t know where we’re going. I’m following the crowd.”
Stream from a cell. Soon.
All other factors aside, if this is your idea of a good decision, then you shouldn’t be making decisions for others.
That’s it? up to a year and a half in federal prison for two misdemeanors: entering a restricted area and disorderly conduct, meanwhile George Floyd got murdered from a counterfeit $20 bill. Justice really sucks.
He’s trying to avoid jail. It won’t work.
Two misdemeanors? Not good enough for someone that participated in an insurrection to overthrow our government!! FBI DerrickEvans and every one of those that entered the Capitol should get just as much jail time as the woman that accidentally voted while on probation. 5 years.
Nobody gets to escape consequences from this. Expel every member of Congress who helped encourage a terrorist attack on this country. Every. Single. One.
Lock him up. Treason
Good. Pinchi thug.
1 down. 139 to go...
Gee, insurrection has consequences. Who knew?!
A lot of the rioters were simpletons, but others are hatching plots right now, thinking they are revolutionaries in a great historical moment. We either use all the resources we have to tamp it down or we pay dearly later. It starts with demanding change in the GOP, right now.
He's innocent! I demand to speak with West Virginia's Manager!
Now he wears a mask. 😂😂
