At approximately 9:15 a.m., United States Capitol Police responded to a disturbance call outside the Library of Congress, where a man in a black pickup truck with no license plates was making bomb threats, Manger told reporters at an earlier press briefing.

Manger said that the man later identified as Roseberry told officers that he had a bomb and a detonator, causing police to order the evacuation of multiple buildings on the Hill. 

...

In the livestreams, the man demanded that President Joe Biden and other prominent Democrat politicians step down, accusing them of killing America. He identified himself as a southerner and called on other "patriots" and southerners to join him on Capitol Hill to begin a revolution.

As law enforcement snipers appeared on the scene, the man said in the livestream that a bullet to the window would detonate the bomb. He then claimed to have enough gunpowder, ammonium nitrate, and shrapnel in the truck to destroy two city blocks. The man also claimed to have four other bombs, but did not provide more information on them.

Not to worry, Biden already called a lid and headed to Delaware for a nice long weekend.

That's it? You're not worried about a guy threatening to blow up a truck in front of the Library of Congress, livestreaming about how he would detonate multiple explosives unless Biden stepped down? The cops did a great job today. No one got hurt.

Well, considering the response we saw from those on the Left when the Bernie Sanders supporter tried to assassinate congress members, it seemed appropriate.

You have a strange definition of appropriate.

Ah this guy. Absolute moron. They left his facebook up for ages too. Only thing I could figure is that they wanted to use it to look inside the truck. Once they got to the wife, he pretty much chickened out.

 

What's amazing is a gal was just walking down the street when he started yelling and throwing money out the window of his truck, and she wasn't sure if this was something common to see on the streets of DC (I sympathize.. you see some weird stuff sometimes) so she snapped a photo of him.

He was throwing out singles.  No way he had explosives in that truck.

They've not said. From the looks of it the 'bomb' was a rusted keg, with wires, some putty looking substance on the top. Claimed he had coins as shrapnel. At some point claimed it had gunpowder and tannerite? Another point said that it would go off if exposed to 'sounds'. He had the 'bomb' on his lap with his hand on a detonator and his phone in the other..

A keg on his lap?  While sitting behind the steering wheel?

Yep. That's the only way I can describe it. It looked like a small rusty keg.

I am sorry, I guess this was another insurrection, I am appropriately outraged.
