Oklahoma Man Arrested for Assault on Media During Jan. 6 Capitol Breach
Assailant Repeatedly Attacked Member of News Media, Marks Eighth Defendant Arrested for Assault on Press

"WASHINGTON — An Oklahoma man was arrested on Aug. 19 for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, which disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress that was in the process of ascertaining and counting the electoral votes related to the presidential election.

Benjamen Scott Burlew, 41, of Miami, Oklahoma, is charged with federal offenses that include assault in special territorial jurisdiction and acts of physical violence on restricted grounds. Burlew made his initial court appearance in the Northern District of Oklahoma on Aug. 20.

According to court documents, Burlew was captured in two videos engaging in a physical assault against a credentialed media member who works as a photographer for the Associated Press. As depicted in the video, the photographer was pulled down a set of stairs near the lower west terrace of the U.S. Capitol Building by two unknown assailants. While attempting to avoid confrontation with these unknown assailants, the photographer relocated his position elsewhere on the stairs, at which point the photographer was aggressively confronted by Burlew. As alleged, after that confrontation, Burlew, together with other assailants including Alan William Byerly, grabbed the photographer and pushed him, then shoved and dragged him parallel to the stairs. Byerly was indicted on Aug. 20 in the District of Columbia in connection with this conduct and for assaulting a District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Officer during another, separate incident.

After shoving the photographer, Burlew disengaged and walked in the other direction while the other assailants continued to push and drag the victim.

Later, the photographer can be observed on video having been backed up against a low stone wall separating the U.S. Capitol structure from the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol by the assailants. As alleged, Burlew lunged toward the photographer and grabbed his upper chest and leg to forcefully throw and push the photographer over the wall to the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol Building, several feet below. Burlew continued to shove and push the photographer until the photographer was thrown backward over the wall, where he landed on his back on the grounds of the west lawn. As alleged, Burlew can be seen in the video leaning over the wall to observe his fall.

Burlew is one of eight individuals in this investigation who have been arrested for allegedly destroying media equipment, assaulting journalists or inciting violence against members of news media. Other defendants facing similar charges include: Chase Kevin Allen, 25, of, Reno, Nevada; Joshua Dillon Haynes, 39, of Covington, Virginia; Sandra Weyer, 57, of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania; Shane Jason Woods, 43, of Auburn, Illinois; Gabriel Morgan Brown, 38, of Bayville, New York; Zvonimir Joseph Jurlina, 31, of Bethpage, New York; and Alan William Byerly, 54, of Fleetwood, Pennsylvania.

The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section. Valuable assistance was provided by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma."

Trump “had also expressed interest beforehand in calling in the National Guard to hold off anti-Trump counter-protesters who might show up...only to turn around and resist calls for bringing those troops in after the rioting by his loyalists broke out.”

This guy is exactly what I've been talking about. The Republican party has been spoon feeding it's base lies and propaganda for years. They know exactly what flavor Kool-Aid they like. It's gotten so bad that left is right, up is down, wrong is right and reality left the building long ago. People with his viewpoint are useful to have a window into what the cult mind is thinking but that's about all. Engagement is like "playing chess with a pigeon".

Reason 10, there is no use trying to discuss anything with you now--you believe too much that isn't true, and you will defend your belief system and not listen to one word we say. Have a nice life.

These loons are still wound up. I expect them to try something again between now and when Biden takes the oath of office. They truly believe their fight is right and their actions justified.

Everyone thought the German Nazis were too lame to be effective until suddenly they were taking over everything. I am in a not so great mood, I fear too many will go along with the Trumpist militant racial supremacy movement, just because are susceptible to the message that they are the Real Americans, and the victims of dark(!) forces they must rise up and defeat. Polls say Trump has gained popularity since Wed.

Oh, most will think only a few crazies are actually racist, as they align with the movement. They themselves? Deny deny deny. 'I'm not racist but' rationalizations will be thick as flies.

But make no mistake, we are heading down the same master race road as the German Volk. And it will go to the same place, national destruction. In WWIII, billions will die, and we won't be on the good side.
