Florida man arrested in Capitol riot said he was breaking into White House

A family member turned in an Ocala man who went to Washington D.C. “knowing full well they were going to break in” to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, according to the U.S. Justice Department.

Kenneth Kelly, 58, also sent text messages saying he entered the Capitol by breaking windows, an affidavit said. He turned himself in Friday at the Middle District of Florida U.S. Attorney’s Office in Ocala. He’s facing charges including disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Pictures from surveillance video and text messages provided to the FBI show Kelly inside the Capitol, which he kept referring to as the White House, the affidavit said.

“Inside the White house via breaking in windows,” a text message said. “Tree of liberty was watered today.”

I don't know too many living things that thrive on urination. But, it does have a nifty ring to a Republican utopia. We'll call it, Yuri-nation, since they do seem to have a thing for Russia.

Then when he found out he had charges pending, he turned himself in to those authorities.

So his family ratted him out and he or his lawyer got him to the authorities.

I used gesso and a little gloss medium on white hospital shoes in the mid 60s. I wore running shoes in the 80s-2000s and the occasional trip through the wash did it for them.

disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly conduct -- those are bullshit misdemeanors -- reflecting the pro-white Republican bias of the Ocala US Attorney, Ocala being the KKK center of Florida.

Not a goddam thing is going to happen to Florida insurrectionists.

Nothing is surprising after a sentence starts with Florida Man.
I keep seeing these commercials for “Ultimate Disco Cruise com.” Leaving from Florida, the Petri dish of Covid.DeSantas wants all Florida Cruise lines fully operating. He is the “Ultimate Florida Man”
Disco Cruise????From Florida????what the hell could go wrong. End of Days, (for participants) Covid, Sea Sick, and...Disco!!!

that starts off with "Florida man"? No? Then this has nothing to do with you. Surely you've heard the endless stories about "Florida man"? There's even a website or two devoted to the phenomenon.
My advice, calm down, and stop looking for things about which to be outraged.

You may be though.

You seem to be a bigot. "Florida Man", "Pollack", "N...", "G...", "T...", ... etc... Just group whomever you want to group together and take your shots. That's what you do as a bigot. It's not cool to take shots at "N's", or "G's", or "T's", but it's okay to take shots at "Florida Man" so you do. Stay alert, once "Florida Man" is no longer cool to take shots at, there will be some other group. You can take shots at the group once it's "okay" to take shots at that group.

It's all the same. "Florida Man" seems to be one of the latest groups that people believe it's okay to take shots at. It's just another group. You're no different than those that you believe are racist.

majority of State legislative houses. We should be very worried because it’s these people who electing the Qgop and pushing oppressive state election laws. We all know how diluted the democratic vote is already and it will get worse unless we can kill the filibuster and fix the structural inequities that threaten to make permanent minority rule. We are not just fighting the poorly educated and ignorant voters, it’s the conditioning of their minds from 30 years of Fox and RW media. I live in NJ a solidly blue state and even here I run into quite a few fellow attorneys who are good smart lawyers but support Republicans. I ask them can’t you see how Trump is undermining our democracy and they just don’t get it. I remember being shocked at learning one of my attorney friends was supporting Romney over Obama. The first thing he said was Obama wouldn’t produce his college grades. I looked at him with disbelief and said you really are talking about Obama’s college records? That is an example of what Fox and Limbaugh has done to millions of Republican voters and how they have divided this country.
