A man in black bloc behaving suspiciously near a right-wing rally outside the Pinellas County Courthouse in Florida on Jan. 6 was apprehended by deputies after he tried fleeing on foot. Garrett James Smith, 22, was arrested and found carrying an active pipe bomb, Antifa propaganda and a written document on what to bring for his direct action. He had recently returned from Portland, Ore. Smith was purportedly targeting dozens of the attendees of a rally protesting the treatment of Jan. 6 suspects on the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Capitol riot.

He will be prosecuted under Governor DeSantis new riot act law! Throw the book at him and jail him No Bail! Let’s see who comes to his rescue- the DOJ? FBI?

Naturally, Smith is from Portland, Oregon. What is he doing in Florida with a live pipe bomb? Put him away forever. It's a good thing he didn't explode the device and kill someone, otherwise he might be looking at the gurney up in Raiford. Execution. No tolerance of terrorists. Locals might want to be there in person for this loser's hearing, and watch him get locked up at 49th Street jail. It's a really nice place to spend, say, eleven months and 29 days. You know the perp is going away when the deputies put on their latex gloves before escorting the criminal to the hoosegow.
Andy Ngo, the author, does good work. May he prosper.

What's does the FBI view as more dangerous on The Capitol grounds, a Marxist with a bomb or a Trump supporter with a MAGA hat?

Just think, if this had happened in one of the blue-state hellholes, this scum would already be on the street. A life sentence seems okay by me.

It's going to cost the DNC a lot to get this guy out of jail.

Two years ago we would have presumed that the near-bomber was a foreign-born Mohammedan. Now the script has changed with native American Antifa members. I suspect they will soon change their colors from black to something else so that identification will be more difficult.

Suspect is white male, 22, and lives with his parents.
FTA:
A search of Smith's home he shares with his parents in Oldsmar, Fla. revealed more explosives, tape and nails for use in grenades. Smith’s “direct action” checklist included a drawing of an umbrella, a symbol adopted by Antifa militants for their frequent use of black umbrellas to shield one another from cameras while they commit acts of violence or vandalism. The helmet found in his backpack during his arrest had the Antifa “iron front” symbol painted on it.
I wonder if they'll be able to confiscate his parents' home.

He looks like a shaggy-haired version of Howard Wolowitz. Probably lives with his mother as well.

Where was he on Jan 6? There were 2 bombs found in D.C.
Since the FBI is tracking cell phones and credit cards used in D. C., surely they thought to check travel from Portland and Seattle around 1/6, especially since things were noticeably calmer in those West Coast locations around 1/6/21. Hint to FBI: travel may have been circuitous, stopping at Mom's place to get the laundry done and pick up more cash before joining the fun in D.C.

Sounds like the leftards are wanting to take things to another level - ratcheting up the violence the deep state and demo-commies love so well - as long as they aren't the ones on the receiving end. They can dish it out, but will cry like a baby if they have to eat it.

Tough guy until the shooting starts in his direction. Throw the book at the girly man make him wish he should have never tried to ply his trade in the state of Florida. We might be seeing the beginning of one or two rouges traveling beyond their blue wasted cities to start harming maybe killing people with their terrorist acts. Stay alert this could be a trend in the future not just satisfied to burn their blue cities or destroy property close by. That list was really how organized they are while protected by the FBI Gestapo. One of Brandon's foot soldier street fighters. FJB

#15: Yes, such as Obama's good friend and accomplice Bill Ayers. Then they push other communists to run for president like Ayers did with the Kenyan.

This sort of dangerous criminal needs to spend decades in prison, at minimum.

I hope the FIB doesn't use his travels from Portland to say his interstate travels dictates that they have jurisdiction to take over the case and release the little terrorist.

I expect that if Florida were to actually sentence him as appropriate for this crime the FBI would swoop in and return him to sanctuary in Portland. Gestapo Garland would feign ignorance...Xiden would blame Corn Pop.
