Another “White Supremacist” arrested for assaulting police officers during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6

 An excerpt from the Epoch Times.

------------------------------------

A man surrendered to police on Monday after being accused of beating police officers with a bat during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Emmanuel Jackson, no age or state of residence given, was “clearly observed” in surveillance video from outside the Capitol with a metal baseball bat, according to a court filing obtained by The Epoch Times.

Jackson was observed “repeatedly striking a group of both U.S. Capitol and Metropolitan Police Department uniformed officers with the baseball bat,” FBI agent Riley Palmertree wrote in the filing.

Photographs and video footage appeared to show Jackson holding and swinging the bat while wearing a blue surgical mask that partially covered his mouth but left his nose visible.

Jackson surrendered to Washington police officers voluntarily on Monday, waived his constitutional rights, and admitted to taking part in the violent protest, the filing said. He identified himself in the video and photographs and confessed to assaulting officers.

Now that you are (probably) enraged about this post, here are some morals of this story.

• Those who characterized the idiots who broke into the Capitol as White Supremacists showed themselves to be idiots, too.

• Those who respond to this post by justifying their saying that the crowd was composed of White Supremacists by saying that almost all of the crowd was composed of White Supremacists compound their idiocy.  There is no data available at this time that justifies a conclusion that a large proportion of the crowd was White Supremacists.

• The presence of a Black idiot among all the White idiots does not imply anything about Blacks generally.  So, if you think the post implies that - congratulate yourself on being an idiot.

• The presence of, say, 200 White idiots in a crowd of, say, 200,000 whites does not imply anything about Whites generally.  If you believe otherwise - yes, you are an idiot.

• Yes, this post makes me one of you.

But at least I value freedom of speech - yours included.
