Our legal system is a joke
As NBC News previously reported, that man, John Emanuel Banuelos, told Salt Lake City police that he was at the Capitol and had been captured on film with a gun. “I was in the D.C. riots,” he told the investigators, according to a police transcript. “I’m the one in the video with the gun right here.”
Banuelos has not been arrested or charged in connection with Jan. 6; the Salt Lake City police had arrested him in connection with the fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Christopher Thomas Senn in a park on July 4, 2021.
“Man, should I just tell the FBI to come get me or what?” he asked Salt Lake City police officers, according to a police transcript. Weeks later, Banuelos called an investigator with the department and “talked about going where Donald Trump sent him,” apparently referencing the Capitol, according to a police record. The Salt Lake City DA’s office did not pursue a case against Banuelos, who claimed self-defense in Senn’s death.

Hmm, this subtle clue feels relevant in current affairs, but I sure can't think of what. Oh well, it's probably nothing.

The fact that Trump is still campaign and not behind bars is enough proof of how broken our legal system is.

Sleepy Garland

I wish he was. His team seek the wettest noodle slap for a literal attempt to overthrow the US Govt by killing members of the legislative. It's fucking wild how timid they are.
