Alleged "Three Percenters" militia members indicted in new Capitol riot conspiracy case

Six California men, four of whom identify as members of "Three Percenter" militias, have been indicted for conspiring to obstruct congressional proceedings on January 6, the Justice Department announced.

The indictment, which was unsealed Thursday, alleges the group coordinated travel to D.C. with a stated intention to "fight," heeding President Trump's call to protest the results of the presidential election. Some defendants wore tactical gear and at least one, prosecutors said, carried a knife while he pushed past a police line on Capitol grounds.

The case marks the first conspiracy indictment filed against members of the Three Percenters, an anti-government extremist group that, according to the Anti-Defamation League, derives their name from an inaccurate claim that only 3% of American colonists fought against the British during the Revolutionary War, and likens today's U.S. government to British colonialism.

If it is any consolation, Californicators, not Florida Men, so there is nothing to be alarmed at. "These men are Nihilists, Donnie."

They are the third militia or extremist group to be cited in a conspiracy case connected to the Capitol riot. Already, federal prosecutors have indicted 16 alleged Oath Keepers in a single conspiracy case, and 15 alleged members or affiliates of the Proud Boys have been charged in four separate conspiracy cases. The DOJ has previously charged at least four other rioters who they said were affiliated with the Three Percenters.

Sometimes you think they would have been smarter to keep their heads down, to remain in the shadows, but then the false flag Trump drew them out, thus saving American democracy.

Later in the day, prosecutors said Hostetter and Taylor, who still carried his knife, joined rioters on the lower level of the West Terrace of the Capitol as they tried to push through a line of law enforcement officers. Taylor said, "Move forward Americans!" He turned to the officers a few feet away from him, and said, "Last chance boys. Move back!"

Taylor and Hostetter then allegedly pushed past the officers and onto the Upper West Terrace, and Taylor yelled to the other rioters, "Inside!" before moving toward the Capitol building. Taylor later texted other people to say that although he had "stormed the capital," he did not enter the building because he "had weapons."

Around 6:15 p.m., Taylor posted on Telegram: "I was pushing through traitors all day today. WE STORMED THE CAPITOL!"

Later that night, someone texted Taylor to ask him what happens next. He responded, "Insurrection!"

Thank goodness there was no "insurrection" or storming of the Capital, and no intent to commit treason against the United States of America. I am starting to think 3% refers to their IQ range.
