Well, that wasn’t too hard, now, was it?
The man accused of supplying Los Angeles rioters with “bionic” face shields has been identified and arrested, the FBI said. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison.
Now find out who paid for the face shields and go after them, and their funding, all the way up the chain to George Soros, and arrest all of them.
If ever there was a clear case of “aiding and abetting a felony”, this would be it.

Oh baby, there’s so much Trumpy goodness in this report:
‘What you’re witnessing in California is a full blown assault on peace, on public order and national sovereignty… with the aim of continuing a foreign invasion of our country. We’re not gonna let that happen,’ he said.
‘We will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy. That’s what they are.
‘These are animals, but they proudly carry the flags of other countries, but they don’t carry the American flag. They only burn it.’
The president went on to call LA ‘a trash heap’ with ‘entire neighborhoods under control’ of criminals, adding the government would ‘use every asset at our disposal to quell the violence and restore law and order.’
‘We will liberate Los Angeles and make it free, clean and safe again,’ Trump said.
The ICE raids have sparked protests that brought Los Angeles to its knees, leading the mayor to introduce a lockdown from 8pm to 6am.
But Trump is now set to deploy yet more ICE agents to five Democrat-run cities for sweeping arrests.
The military-style units are set to storm New York City, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia and northern Virginia. Four of those five are heavily blue cities, while northern Virginia contains the Democrat enclave of Alexandria.
Just give me a moment… where did I put it? Oh, here it is:
Or we could just nuke them all from orbit.
Okay, you all can quit that unseemly laughter and cheering now.
I’ve never been that interested in my origins to have done the 23andMe thing, so I’m personally not affected by this activity. Nevertheless:
Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia have sued the genetic-testing company 23andMe to oppose the sale of DNA data from its customers without their direct consent.
The suit, filed on Monday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of Missouri, argues that 23andMe needs to have permission from each and every customer before their data is potentially sold. The company had entered an agreement to sell itself and its assets in bankruptcy court.
The information for sale “comprises an unprecedented compilation of highly sensitive and immutable personal data of consumers,” according to the lawsuit.
The genetic data at stake is especially sensitive and should be protected, because if it is stolen or compromised, it cannot be replaced. The data can be used to track not only the individuals who sent the kits, but also people related to customers, including yet unborn generations.
Why, and who is the prospective purchaser of all this “highly sensitive and immutable personal data”, you ask?
[23andMe] is poised to be acquired by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for $256 million, according to the lawsuit. Regeneron is a biotechnology company that uses genetic data to develop new drugs.
So there’s no chance that the data will be abused in any way, then. [eyecross]
I think that my position on this kind of thing should be fairly obvious by now.
Your personal data — all of it — belongs to you, and to nobody else. Only you can authorize its use or dissemination, for whatever reason.
So if some asshole organization — let’s just call them Regeneron, for brevity’s sake — wants to use personal (i.e. unaggregated) data, they should have to ask you personally for your permission, each and every time. (Once data is aggregated, of course, your anonymity is no longer an issue.)
By the way, the same should apply to US Census data, but that particular bullet has gone through the church countless times already, and it’s a terrible precedent. (Which is why I always urge people not to fill out the “long form” census questionnaire every time this bit of government snoopery comes around.)
Finally a little bit of FAFO justice for one of these little assholes in their detestable doxxing glory:
The second paragraph is the one that gives me the full monty:
“Oh no, please leave my family out of it!”
Fuck you, you little shit. I hope you and your whole family get completely fucked up because of your poxy reindeer games.
And the same goes for all the “doxxers”out there.
Read the whole story to enjoy the full flavor of justice.
By the way: should anyone try this shit with me, and “someone comes to my home, pounding on my door and demanding to confront me”…
I leave it to your imagination to guess my response.
