AJC EXCLUSIVE: Georgia attorney among those who broke into U.S. Capitol
NEWS | 17 hours ago
By Chris Joyner, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When hundreds of pro-Trump protesters stunned and horrified the nation by forcing their way into the United States Capitol Wednesday, self-described Anti-Communist Counter-Revolutionary McCall Calhoun was among the first through the doors.
The Deep State cannot stop us, he wrote on Parler, a social media network popular with Trump supporters, They learned that today when we stormed the Capitol and took it. The word is were all coming back armed for war.
Calhoun, a practicing attorney in Americus for 30 years, admitted his participation in the riot in an exclusive interview with the AJC in which he described the mob as patriotic and heroic.
This was civil disobedience. Anyone who claims it was anything other than civil disobedience was not there, and they did not see it and they do not know, he said, referring to the riot that left five dead, including a Capitol Police officer and a Kennesaw woman who was reportedly crushed to death in the crowd.

(7,962 posts)1. Racist pig doesn't know what civil disobedience is
It is not slamming a cop with a fire extinguisher over the head and killing him. It is not a mob of hundreds forcing their way into a government building by pushing against a group of officers, forcing one into a doorjam where he was screaming in pain. It is not hitting officers with a baton. It is not breaking windows at multiple locations. It is not defecating on the floor of our country's capitol. It is not stealing government documents, laptops and furniture. I could go on.
Asshole, don't ever compare yourself to those like John Lewis who literally put their lives on the line with NON-VIOLENT civil disobedience.
