I'm not sure where I saw it, but I recall reading that "confederate flag guy" in the Capitol might be a Calgarian. I'm sure it isn't true since there has been absolutely no news about this guy other than his picture since the riot. Whoever he is, he is absolutely the next scum I want to see arrested. Considering the horrific symbolism of that flag inside the Capitol, and the fact that this guy wore no mask I cannot understand why he isn't in custody already.

Stupidity and brainwashing knows no borders I guess.

I read somewhere too he was from Calgary, but FBI is still trying to identify him:

I know its not pertinent to that particular video but rather as an overall trend...

"I've got to look after my kids!!"

- "Hmm...that might have been something to have kept in mind prior to doing crime."

This might be the only time in U.S. history that being minority at the airport is a benefit.

Yeah, there was a story going around that the guy with the confederate flag was a local white supremacist named Ricky Tollikko, aka Ricky Rush, because said individual apparently shared the photo and kind resembles the dude in the photo. Anyway, I'm guessing he would have been arrested by now if it was truly him.

Going by pictures on the internet, it doesn't really look like the same guy to me.

Yeah, other than being white guys with goatees, they don't really look alike at all.

Confederate flag guy and camp auschwitz hoodie guy.... they can both be arrested any time now. Those are the types of deplorable individuals who should be tarred and feathered continuously for the rest of their lives. Like a full time job. Wake up, get ready for the day, stand in front of the firing line, get tarred and feathered, go about your day, go home wash it all.off, start again the next day.

Okay.....where does one even get an Auschwitz hoodie? The very prospect of purchasing an Auschwitz hoodie should be sufficient to put the purchaser on some sort of list.

Do you buy it for your Aryan friends for Christmas? Do respectable retailers stock these items?

Further....where does one even wear an Auschwitz hoodie? I mean...you've got to really know the room if you're going to waltz in with a move that strong.

It just seems like an impractical wardrobe choice.

You've never seen a more somber and respectful Gift Shop in your life.

That is the Gift Shop that humour forgot. They are taking no chances.

I've been there, too. It's unthinkable that some people celebrate what happened. Scum of the earth.

A website that carries those shirts has been called out on Twitter to stop selling them. I don't know how effective that will be.

Whats worse is the people who dont think it ever happened at all.

Years ago I had a client who was a French Jew with a tattoo. Hes passed on now sadly, but he used to give speeches about his time in the camps and I'd go and attend his sessions.

Fascinating man. But the cruelty was....insane.

What do they sell? I can see that they would have tons of history books on the camp and the Holocost, but was there anything else?
