Pennsylvania man arrested in Capitol insurrection after mom outs him on social media

[TexasTowelie]

The mother of Russell James Peterson shared on Facebook that her son stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and sat in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's chair.

One of her friends went to the FBI with that information. By that time, Peterson of Rochester, Pennsylvania, had already been identified by the FBI from livestreams he posted to social media of his venture inside the Capitol that day, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Along with those videos, the FBI has photos of Peterson, his mother and his wife in Washington, D.C., on the day of the pro-Trump rally that preceded the insurrection.

Russell Peterson was arrested on Feb. 12 on four charges: knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds; disorderly conduct which impedes the conduct of government business; disruptive conduct in the Capitol buildings; parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol buildings.

1. I wonder if Mom also directed the FBI to her basement to make the arrest?

2. It warms my heart to know that MAGAt moms are sending their demon spawn to federal prison

with their stupid fucking social media posts...

3. It's simple cost benefit analysis.

What is the cost of continuing to provide food and shelter to her son versus the benefit of collecting the reward being offered.

5. Oh, it's much more schadenfreude for us than THAT; she was a co-conspirator & stupidly exposed

herself and her son and her in law with her online braggadocio. She wasn't diming him out for a reward or leech-relief, she just outed him by MAGA-bragging!

6. I think that part was misunderstood in the wording in the article.

She didn't do the FBI a favor on purpose. She was stupidly boasting and was there along with the the other two since it was apparently a family event. I wish all three could have a family event in prison.

7. Not his mom:

One of her friends went to the FBI with that information.

4. It only shows that loud blowhards don't really have friends.
