The storming of the Capitol building last week may be the best-documented crime scene in human history. The criminals proudly filmed and photographed themselves in the act then shared it all publicly on social media.
The insurrection also took place during the certification of the 2020 election in the Capitol which was covered by countless media outlets. Cameras were everywhere.
Could it be that these folks were so certain that their act of sedition would be successful they didn't fear getting caught? Or were they simply a bunch of conspiracy theorists who really weren't that bright, to begin with?
<p>In the aftermath of the horrible event, law enforcement agencies and social media sleuths have been hard at work identifying and arresting these domestic terrorists. Many are losing their jobs for participating in the insurrection.</p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><div class="tenor-gif-embed" data-aspect-ratio="1.7785714285714287" data-postid="19880039" data-share-method="host" data-width="100%"><a href="https://tenor.com/view/jakob-angeli-capitol-storm-qanon-capitol-shaman-capitol-viking-gif-19880039">Jakob Angeli Capitol Storm GIF</a> from <a href="https://tenor.com/search/jakobangeli-gifs">Jakobangeli GIFs</a></div><script async="" src="https://tenor.com/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/outtheterrorists/" target="_blank">Out the Terrorists on Instagram</a> is doing a great job at identifying this motley cast of characters.
