They might not know what an insurrection looks like but they sure know what hate and blame tastes like.

U.S. Capitol Violence

The FBI is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying individuals who made unlawful entry into the U.S. Capitol building and committed various other alleged criminal violations, such as destruction of property, assaulting law enforcement personnel, targeting members of the media for assault, and other unlawful conduct, on January 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C.

We have deployed our full investigative resources and are working closely with our federal, state, and local partners to aggressively pursue those involved in these criminal activities.

If you have witnessed unlawful violent action—or have any information about the cases below—we urge you to contact us.

You can call ‪1-800-CALL-FBI (1-‪800-225-5324) to verbally report tips and/or information related to this investigation, or submit at tip online at tips.fbi.gov.


From the official FBI website:
REDACTED

I was going to post the photograph and the FBI case number, but on second thought . . . the guy looked to me like a kind of somebody who might have a Fiero, or might have had a Fiero and is part of this forum, or is known to someone on this forum. An outside possibility, but I didn't want to do that. So I REDACTED. After I'd already set it up.

Just a very genial looking guy with a smile on his face.

This kind of malicious bullshit ISN'T a surprise from you and frankly YOU are precisely the idiot that I knew would try it.

I really hoped that you would be moronic enough to try it yourself but it's obvious that you are cowardly trying to goad someone else into getting into VERY DEEP TROUBLE.




I'll also advise you Ronald that urging someone else to commit a Federal Crime is CONSPIRACY and after all of your mindless hooting about "conspiracy" here it would be great karma to see YOU criminally indicted for exactly that.

Your original post has been saved "for posterity"....or evidence.

In all the years that I've been on this forum I have NEVER publically called for anyone to be banned here, not even you.

There comes a point though when you want to play around with something as deadly serious as suggesting someone on this forum has committed a federal crime that it's time for you to go.

You were already in deep, neon red, ratings trouble and it's obvious that you have decided to make it worse.

What the f*ck is forum member randye talking about?

Just reread my post. I didn't single anyone out on this forum. I guess people could go to the link and look for a "genial looking guy with a smile." Who looks like "the kind of person who might own a Fiero, or might have once owned a Fiero."

It's an official FBI website.

Of course, I was joking about any connection here with a member of this forum, but just to take forum member randye's rambling about this as a hypothetical:

What did I do?

I guess if there were a tradeoff between my somewhat inadvertently helping the FBI, vs having posted something that this forum's owner and moderator would frown upon, I would have to go with "helping the FBI." Although I might never be aware that I had inadvertently or indirectly accomplished that.

It just seemed like a reasonable response to the Breaking News or "endlessly repeating loop" phenomenon that forum member randye has created for this thread.

Actually, I just thought it would add a little variety to the crazy here.

Well, thanks. That's probably the first compliment I've received from you. I'm not quite "moronic enough."

I don't know how that "goading" idea that you have is supposed to work.

I wanted to record my experience here--the experience of singling out one of the photographs on this FBI website, which was my original idea--and then thinking a little better of it.

The guy in that photograph just reminded me in a general way of the kind of fellow I've seen at various Fiero-related events. Genial looking. Smiling. Some beard. Very casually dressed. Not all that different from me. Although that would be the "casually dressed" part, more than any of the rest of it.

Then I thought--wow--what if someone here were actually to recognize that person, or even think that they recognized him?

That's why I "redacted" it.

So I haven't explicitly singled out one photograph anymore, except in a somewhat indirect way.

Should news reports related to the FBI be out of bounds here? Is posting a link to an official FBI website going out of bounds? Is that "beyond news"..?

I just deleted what was my http link to the FBI website.

"An abundance of caution."

So YOU think it's a "joke" and "reasonable" to suggest that a member of this forum COMMITTED A FEDERAL CRIME?!

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

People's lives, their freedom, their families and their jobs are NOT A GODDAMN JOKE you idiot.

Making false reports to the FBI is NOT A GODDAMN JOKE

Suggesting that other members here make false reports to the FBI is NOT A GODDAMN JOKE

That can't be true. If he was driving a Fiero, the DOJ would be sure to charge him with attempted arson on top of everything else.
rinselberg AUG 17, 09:28 PM
Just to be clear, it's a photograph of "some guy." Nothing in the photo except the guy himself. No Fiero or anything suggesting a Fiero in that photograph on the FBI website that I was going to use.

Then I had that thought. The "wow" thought, as I just described it here, a few minutes ago.

File under "Slice of Life"..? "Slice of Life-style" Pennock's Totally O/T, sub-genre "Politics" message boarding?
