Seth Aaron Pendley, a 28-year-old who brought a sawed-off shotgun to the Capitol riots, has pleaded guilty. Though not to that particular crime.
You see, after January 6, Pendley decided that terrorism suited him just fine and decided to step up his game by plotting to bomb the Amazon servers in order to take out "70 percent of the internet." Unfortunately for him, and fortunately for the rest of us, he was actually terrible at terrorism and decided to discuss these plans on a website that anyone can access, called MyMilitia.com.
On January 8, a concerned user on MyMilitia.com contacted the FBI to let them know that someone calling himself Dionysus was going around the site talking about how "he was planning to 'conduct a little experiment,' that he said would 'draw a lot of heat' and could be 'dangerous.' When asked what the plan was, Dionysus said 'death.'"
Would just like to note what the sidebar on MyMilitia.com says:
Everything you have heard about militias from the media is likely wrong. Main stream news has primarily reported on the negative stereotypes and criminal activity of groups that have nothing to do with militia. The true militia has exactly the opposite purpose; to uphold the law and the Constitution.

built per requirement to house massive amounts of equipment, but also to withstand earthquakes, weather, etc., e.g., the bomb explosion in NYC that temporarily disabled part of NYC, most of the facilities were rerouted / back up and working pretty quickly (car bomb outside the building)...
