Lonnie Coffman of Alabama was found with multiple weapons in his vehicle and on his person. Coffman’s truck, which he had parked in the vicinity of the Capitol on the morning of Jan. 6, was packed with weaponry, including a handgun, a rifle and a shotgun, each loaded, according to court documents. In addition, the truck held hundreds of rounds of ammunition, several large-capacity ammunition feeding devices, a crossbow with bolts, machetes, camouflage smoke devices, a stun gun and 11 Molotov cocktails. When Coffman was detained, questioned and searched, police found two more handguns on his person. None of the weapons were registered, documents state. Coffman pleaded guilty and was sentenced in April to 46 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.

Guy Reffitt of Texas was charged with bringing a handgun onto Capitol grounds. Court documents showed that Reffitt, reported to be a member of the Three Percenters militia group, told his family he brought his gun with him and that he and others "stormed the Capitol." A jury found Reffitt guilty of five felony charges in March, and he remains detained pending sentencing.

Christopher Michael Alberts of Maryland also brought his handgun onto Capitol grounds. An officer saw that Alberts had a gun on his hip and alerted fellow officers. When Alberts tried to flee, officers detained him and recovered the loaded handgun, along with a separate magazine. He has been indicted on ten felony counts.

Of course, even flagpoles can do a lot of damage Source.
A Handful of weapons don't make an insurrection, especially when none of the weapons were used in any way shape or form. Yet meanwhile compare the BLM riot response to jan 6! Racism? Classism?
upon seeing the footage of flash-bangs seemingly thrown to aggravate the crowd, with snipers positioned, I keep wondering if the purpose in someone's mind was to get whoever would be armed to bring out their weapon. Since no-one was armed, it just made the Capitol Police look like meanies.
I'll have to look for other sources for Lonnie Coffman - the source shows he pleaded guilty to one count of possession of unregistered firearm.
I started reading the Guy Reffitt dockets and when the expert said people forced their way into the Capitol Building, it didn't sync with the video footage showing them open the secure doors for them. Poison tree - poison fruit.
I'll look at the last one at some point, but I just get frustrated anytime anyone of any political leaning tells half the truth to make their point come out on top! I appreciate you bringing these up, and I am not accusing you of such. Just aching for honesty! And honestly, if the testimony is slanted, then how can I trust it on matters I do not happen to know the opposite is true. People were held in tortuous conditions until they agreed to plea guilty so they can try to live their lives again. I don't trust anything that comes out of this response to the protest and riot.
Hi Havestmoon! Totally understand, this is why I linked the court documents because I felt they'd be the least biased, most fact based documents available to the public.
Not everyone involved in J6 has pled guilty, and so with those trials we'll be able to see if there is evidence to prove criminality.
In regards to the force entry, don't forget that the Capitol building is just massive, with many entrances and lots of different sections and rooms. We've seen footage of people breaking windows and climbing in. We've seen hundreds of people pushing directly against the outmanned Capitol Police. There are literally thousands of stories about that day.
They were let in. No guns were Visible. Nobody was using guns. Meanwhile, BLM/Antifa zero such scrutiny. We known who the terrorists are and which side overwhelmingly resorts to assassination and violence.
I find court documents are usually very revealing. That doesn't mean that they are decided correctly. I don't see the pressures of plea bargaining being docketed. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough. It'd be nice to see a docket saying "Prosecution offers defense a plea of one count of possession of unlicensed firearm if defense agrees that Proud Boys is a White Supremacist group." Be aware the transparency doesn't always translate to action to right a wrong. A medical study comes to mind where the data in the study contradicted the conclusion of the study. Nothing was done to correct that because the conclusion was politically correct.
No, of course... but at least with some transparency we can make up our own minds.
I'd love to see dockets saying things like that, that'd be amazing. There's so much data that suggests a solid number of guilty pleas are because of unrelenting promises made and incredible pressure... and not because, you know, the person is guilty.
