Must be talking about the dude arrested today. Amazing, an active duty Marine Officer, storming the doors of the Capitol. Damn, what has happening to this country?
A Marine Corps officer was arrested Thursday for alleged crimes at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, becoming the first known active-duty service member charged in the violent attempt to thwart the certification of Joe Biden’s election as president.
Maj. Christopher Warnagiris, 40, stationed at Marine Corps Base Quantico, was charged with five counts, including assaulting and obstructing police during a civil disorder and obstructing an official proceeding of Congress,
federal prosecutors said. He made his first appearance in federal court in Alexandria on Wednesday afternoon.
The attack on the Capitol prompted the Pentagon to refocus efforts on weeding possible extremists out of the active-duty ranks, with a recent military-wide “stand-down” for service members to discuss the issue.
