The most bizarre paradox of our times is that as the script becomes ever more sinister, the villains according to this script become so un-villainous it resembles a parody. The latest is Paul Conover, a Texan in the vehicle repair business:
This is what an insurrection against our sacred democracy looks like and it was absolutely worth months of investigation by the Dallas FBI office to haul this guy in. He’s the 33rd they’ve bagged.
I’m sad he ran out of beer and I hope he didn’t lose his buzz. How many dudes do you know like this? Since you’re reading this site, I’d venture to guess quite a few.
From the Dallas Morning News:
He documented his activities that day in Facebook photos and videos, federal authorities said. “After leaving the Capitol, Conover continued taking selfies and posing for photos with his empty beer can,” an FBI agent said in a complaint.
“I PRAY TO GOD THAT NOBODY DOES ANY DAMAGE TO THE STUFF IN HERE, ‘CAUSE I’M NOT DOWN WITH THAT,” Conover wrote in all capital letters. “BUT I’M KIND OF, KIND OF PROUD OF THE PEOPLE THAT STOOD UP AND SAID YOU KNOW WHAT? ENOUGH. YOU DON’T SEE PEOPLE SPRAY PAINTING SHIT OR BURNING S*** DOWN. IT’S REALLY KIND OF COOL. I’M GLAD I CAME.”
Although the all-capital posts indicate he may suffer from borderline Boomer Social Media Disorder, the sentiments expressed are lucid. Like many of the other unfortunate detainees, he posted on Facebook because he believed that he wasn’t doing anything wrong. Only black people intentionally post their transgressions online.
As the ruling class becomes alarmingly bellicose about military confrontations with both Russia and China, it continues to wage a relentless domestic campaign against productive citizens like Mr. Conover. Meanwhile, blacks are allowed to conduct their own campaign against the nation’s retail infrastructure. It would all make sense if America was a joke.
I couldn’t find anything about him being allowed pretrial release. So, he probably wasn’t due one to the gravity of his non-violent misdemeanors and the threat he poses to democracy.
I’m proud to officially announce my candidacy for the office of Dogcatcher.
I wish Mr Conover had stayed out of that filthy imperial capital. He is innocent of any wrongdoing. But I have never been to the District of Criminality and never intend to. Any place with an over-sized monument to the killer/tyrant Lincoln is not the place for me.
“…months of investigation by the Dallas FBI office to haul this guy in. He’s the 33rd they’ve bagged.”
I suppose you mean 33 bagged by only the Dallas FBI as 719 people have been charged in the Jan 6th “riot” so far. I know the operation is massive with no loose ends for these “terrorists” as even my own Realtor is in the gulag without bail for the crime of “walking within the ropes”. Too bad the patriots and conservatives didn’t listen to our warnings after Charlottesville- now it’s their turn.
