immediately turned him inThe United States Department of Justice has unsealed a criminal complaint against a Colorado native named Weston Sobotka who bragged to a coworker about storming the United States Capitol -- only to be turned in by that same worker.
According to the DOJ's filing, Sobotka sent the coworker text messages that included a photo of himself inside the Capitol on January 6, 2021 along with the caption, "I'm storming the capital (sic) haha."
Days after receiving the text, the coworker talked with law enforcement officials and gave them access to Sobotka's self-incriminating messages.
Law enforcement officials then received a message from a second tipster who told them that "Weston Sobotka was one of the individuals who stormed into the Capitol building" and further state that "he worked on one of my construction sites and showed photos from his phone of when he was inside."

(12,385 posts)you sure were proud of "storming the Capitol", you even shared it with someone who thought it wasn't funny at all, in fact, your sorry ass was turned in by that same person you shared it with.
Are you so proud now? Are you bragging about now?

Another of the puerile club: just about anyone prominently displaying "let's go brandon" or gems like the "fauci ouchie", and of course the ilk that completely covers their vehicle with "Trump" stickers, unexceptionally with some insulting, racist or otherwise threatening message, often scrawled on the vehicle nearly illegible and misspelled.
I wonder those whose display show such depth of emotional disturbance really believe they're convincing anyone of anything.
