'War is coming': Unarrested #PoleTosser rioter flagrantly taunts FBI, poses with GOPers and 'patrols' the border with his pals

He’s known as “AFO #258” on the FBI’s most wanted list, signifying that he’s one of the individuals sought by the agency for involvement “in violent assaults on federal law enforcement officers at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

The volunteer online sleuths who have been poring through open-source video and matching images to social media profiles for the past 11 months have a catchier name for Lucas Denney. They call him #PoleTosser, a nicknamed earned when Denney launched a giant wooden pole toward a line of police officers in the midst of a pitched battle on the West Plaza as rioters lobbed projectiles and the two sides exchanged blasts of chemical spray.

Despite being wanted by the FBI, Denney has maintained a relatively high profile, showing up at public events such as rallies against COVID restrictions as president of the Patriot Boys paramilitary group and posing alongside Republican politicians ranging from Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina.

I realize we have a soaring number of criminals in this country. just seems like 30,000 agents ought to be able to sweep these out-in-the-open traitorous freaks up in a more timely manner.

Seriously, if he's showing at rallies for the worst of the GOP, then have a few agents hang out at those events and arrest him.

Just as they have the nations’s police forces. It would be interesting to know how many FBI agents were encouraged to leave during the Trump administration and how many right-wing agents were hired. He definitely tried to corrupt the DOJ to the pint of having it be his own personal legal and enforcement agency.

He’s some seriously low hanging fruit, and it only makes sense he’s still out and about if he’s cooperating with the Feds -

Otherwise, I got nuthin

Drone those mother fuckers. Cawthorn has been screaming blood in the streets, and at a recent rally told mothers to raise their low testosterone sons to be monsters and to “arm up.” So one of those mothers sent her monster to school, armed him with a new Christmas present, and he slaughtered children. Pro life child loving party, slaughtering innocent young kids. And those dead and wounded probably have no political concerns at all or a side. Pure evil.

These fuckers are openly screaming for the murders of fellow Americans and in some cases they are getting the results they are pushing for. Why are they at large and not being taken down? They are soon going to go one step too far that will cause regular, normal people to react to this shit and defend themselves against this threat.
