Hate-Hoaxing Atlanta Rioters Who Tried to Frame Trump Supporters, Convicted

PJM:

A trio of Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters who tried to frame right-leaning groups were convicted of federal crimes, The Post Millennial reports.

John Wesley Wade, 35, Ellie Melvin Brett, 37, and Vida Jones, 19 were initially arrested in Oct. 2020 following a three-day spree of vandalism to police cars, postal property, and a bank in metro Atlanta. The three men planted notes that attempted to tie the crimes to the Proud Boys and other Trump-supporting groups.

The suspects tried to frame the Proud Boys by leaving notes near the sites of vandalism that read ‘Stand By,’ a reference to when former President Donald Trump told the right-wing group to ‘stand back and stand by’ after he was asked to condemn white supremacist militias during the first 2020 presidential debate,” reports Mia Cathell at The Post Millennial.

The crime spree began on Sept. 30, 2020, at a Walmart on the west side of Atlanta, when one of the men smashed the window of an Atlanta Police Department vehicle with a brick. The note referred to the 2020 election and the Electoral College. Similar phrasing to the wording on the note showed up on an Instagram account belonging to one of the three men.

An hour later, one of the men threw a brick through the window of a Wells Fargo branch in Midtown Atlanta, and then in the wee hours of Oct. 1, another APD vehicle was vandalized, this one parked at a residence not far from the Walmart where the first incident took place. These two acts of vandalism featured similar notes as the first incident — but these were only the beginning. read more

  1. FTA: “….cited several Bible verses, but misspelled Jeremiah as “Jerimiah;”…

    ⬆️That’s always the first clue. Chalk one up for the good guys…now let’s see if the judge applies statutory mandatory sentencing or Ibrim X racial reparative soothing sentencing.

  2. “Not for long, me thinks.”

    It’s an election year. This is his job trying to be as crazy as he can be.

    He’ll be gone after the election, just like all the other times. The pay will dry up and so will he.

    Someone, like him, who doesn’t have anything meaningful to contribute to society, will fade.

    He’s too stupid to realize all he’s doing here is steeling the resolve of the sane people. Lest we forget the idiots out there like him.

    Almost wish I could read his posts, but Fur’s Anony filter is great. I’ll keep it on.

  3. The differences between us, Anonymous, are vast and varied, but off the top of my head: What I write makes you angry. What you write makes me laugh. And I can always use a few more good laughs every day. Thanks!
