This is local to me. Pass Christian is just west of us on the coast. These are BS charges and everyone knows it.
Notice how they call it riots?

HARRISON COUNTY, Miss. (WLOX) - A Pass Christian man was arrested Tuesday on federal charges related to the U.S. Capitol Riots that happened on January 6, 2021.



The FBI says James Allen Knowles, of Pass Christian, was inside the Capitol with the crowd that stormed the building.



He faces four charges:



Entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds

Disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds

Disorderly conduct in a Capitol building or grounds

Parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building

Here is another paragraph from the article:
Can we do anything these days without our government knowing what we're up to??


In making its case against Knowles, the FBI says it tracked his cell phone to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6th, including making calls to the offices of Mississippi’s U.S. Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith and Roger Wicker.

Yep. I've had several discussions over the years about "public property" and the right to be on it.
Most people disagree with me (like the link below) but my stance hasn't changed.

THE QUESTION

Do you have the right to enter the U.S. Capitol whenever you want? And what about other publicly owned spaces around the city?
THE SOURCES

Jane Campbell, President of the United States Historical Society
The National Park Service
The General Services Administration
THE ANSWER

No, the public does not have the right to be in the Capitol, or on public property, whenever they want.
WHAT WE FOUND

More than 600 people have been arrested for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and virtually all of them share one criminal charge in common: entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds.

The charge itself immediately led to strong reactions on social media, with numerous tweets claiming, “The Capitol Building is public property...therefore, people have the right to be inside.”
“There was a time where anybody could come walk into the building," Jane Campbell, president of the United States Historical Society, said.
But Campbell said that time was more than 70 years ago and adds laws have been on the books since 1946 controlling public access to the Capitol. Congress tightened restrictions in the 1970s after a radical left-wing militant group set off a bomb in the Capitol and again in the late ’90s when an armed assailant stormed past a U.S. Capitol security checkpoint and killed two Capitol Police officers.
Now, the only public access to the Capitol is through the visitor’s center and even that has been shut off due to the pandemic.
US Capitol Police said when it comes to the Capitol riots, none of that matters.
“When it comes to the violations on Jan. 6, it is not relevant whether or not the U.S. Capitol is a public building," USCP said in a statement to WUSA9. "It was not open to the general public that day. First, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Second, because of the Joint Session of Congress. The rioters violated the law the moment they crossed the police line."

It would seem a bit of a deception (entrapment) on the part of the Capitol Police when they're video taped standing beside the doors and cordially allowing hundreds of people inside. How many of those people who just wandered around, took selfies, and generally behaved themselves would have burst through those doors if they'd been closed and guarded?

Expecting those people to know obscure laws, and with the seeming invitation by the police, should negate any charges in total.

Those arrests might fly if there had been "NO ADMITTANCE" signs, but otherwise yes, they're BS.

Riddle me this Batman.
I'd like to know exactly how a person that's recognized as the legal owner of a property AKA: a Taxpayer, can be legally convicted of Trespassing on said property?
Oh, I'm aware of restraining orders in domestic disputes where one party is ordered to leave temporarily and I'm not talking about vandalism, theft or violent acts either.
Just straight up ole trespassing ..... on your own land.

A bit of a sidenote: those radical left-wing militants who set off a bomb at the Capitol in the 70s included none other than Chesa Boudin's parents, who were part of the Weather Underground. Boudin is the radical left-wing militant DA in San Francisco who was recently recalled for helping create the ongoing disaster. When his parents went to prison for the bombing, another couple who were also members of the WU raised Chesa. That couple were none other than Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. And for those who don't know, Ayers, who has described himself as a "small 'c' communist", went on to become a "distinguished" professor at Univ of Illinois @ Chicago.....no doubt teaching the next generation how to be left-wing militants.

Ayers and Dohrn were also mentors of Barack Obama.

But of course they do.

Please stop thinking that the Rule of Law is still alive in this country. It is not.
