Default More Capitol rioters in viral posts arrested,Black Lies Matter arsonists walking around free.

(Reuters) - Federal agents arrested two more Capitol Hill
rioters whose images had gone viral, of one carrying off the
House speaker’s lectern and another who wore horns and a fur
pelt, while a top Democratic lawmaker called on mobile carriers
to preserve social media content related to the carnage.

Dozens of people have been charged following the storming of the
Capitol on Wednesday, with the FBI asking the public to help
identify participants, given the proliferation of images of the
riots on the internet. Five people have died, including a police
officer.

Jacob Anthony Chansley, who featured prominently on social media
wearing horns, a fur pelt, face paint and brandishing a spear
adorned with the U.S. flag, turned himself in to police, the
Department of Justice said.

Chansley, also known as Jake Angeli, called the FBI’s Washington
office on Thursday and later told agents “he came as part of a
group effort with other ‘patriots’ from Arizona, at the request
of the President that all ‘patriots’ come to D.C. on Jan. 6,”
the DOJ said in a release.

Federal agents also arrested Adam Christian Johnson, whose photo
as he smiled and waved as he carried off House of
Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern also went viral.
Johnson, of Parrish, Florida, also streamed live video on
Facebook of himself as he walked the halls of the Capitol,
according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The video has been removed from online platforms and all of
Johnson’s pages have been taken down.

On Saturday Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat who is the incoming
chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote to the
chief executives of 11 mobile carriers and social media
companies, urging them to preserve content and associated meta-
data connected to the riot, which erupted as lawmakers gathered
to certify the election of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden.

In his letters, Warner emphasized how the rioters took time to
document the event and share it through social media and text
messages “to celebrate their disdain for our democratic process.”

Before his arrest, NBC network reported, Chansley gloated about
how the crowd infiltrated the Capitol, forcing lawmakers to flee.

“The fact that we had a bunch of traitors in office, hunkered
down, put on gas masks and retreat to their underground bunker,
I consider that a win,” he said to NBC News.
