While we may be half a year removed from the events of January 6th, 2021, there is still quite a long way to go in terms of getting to the bottom of the whole ordeal.
On the right, some are claiming that the insurrection itself was comparable to a tourists’ trip through the Capitol, while, on the left, they seem to believe that the event was as close as we’ve ever come to losing our previous republic.
As the FBI continues to pile up arrests in the case, (having nabbed over 570 people thus far), the folks who are finding themselves in handcuffs are getting more and more interesting by the day.
An actor who was arrested last week and charged with breaching the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot was recorded on video singing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” court records showed.
The man, Michael Aaron Carico, 33, is charged with several counts related to allegations that he participated in the riot, according to a federal criminal complaint. Evidence against Carico included photos and videos of him on the Capitol grounds that were obtained from a confidential source, GPS data, and additional photos and videos secured through a search warrant of Carico’s Gmail account, according to the complaint written by an FBI special agent.
Carico’s IMDb credits include roles in the British sitcom “The Inbetweeners” and the 2019 movie “In Full Bloom.”
He has been charged with 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; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, according to the criminal complaint.
The FBI is continuing to seek help from the general public in identifying hundreds of rioters who’ve yet been caught, and a number of cases stemming from the insurrection have just now begun to be adjudicated.
