Feds Nab Texas Brothers Who Tried to 'Unsend' Messages Bragging About Capitol Riot

[TexasTowelie]

While the concept of “brotherly love” is usually confined to roughhousing on the couch, the feds allege a pair of Texas siblings extended it to the realm of federal crimes when they attended the Capitol riot together, assaulted police officers, stole a shield, then tried to belatedly cover it all up by deleting incriminating messages.

And Brian and Adam Jackson, from Katy, got more than just a dinner table scolding for it on Tuesday when they were arrested—more than 17 months after the failed insurrection—and charged with several offenses, including assaulting law enforcement officials.

According to a press release from the Department of Justice, Brian Jackson, 47, charged at a line of officers with an American flag pole, while his brother Adam, aged 42, threw a large object at the same officers and surged toward them with what appeared to be a stolen Capitol Police riot shield.

A criminal complaint accompanying the press release includes several pages of detail about incriminating evidence left on the brothers’ social media pages.

Nothing is truly deleted off the Internet.

"Look! We did a thing!"
Send.
Oh damn, incriminating! DELETE!

Too late boys! But you probably have deleted a few months of your freedom.

They breed them smart in Katy, Texas!
