The wheels of justice move slowly

I can't imagine any good excuses for these delays

Gregory Yetman, who was arrested by the FBI after a search last week, had been reported to the bureau as a Capitol riot participant by the military shortly after Jan. 6 – yet continued to serve in the National Guard for more than a year, and was not charged until this month, court documents show.

But a New Jersey National Guard official told USA TODAY earlier this year that Yetman continued to serve in the guard for more than a year after that time. He was honorably discharged in March 2022.

The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command identified Yetman to the FBI on Jan. 14, 2021 — eight days after the insurrection, the documents state. Army investigators sent the bureau screenshots from Yetman’s Facebook profile in which he brags about being at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and states “I’m not fighting for this country anymore.” A few days later, FBI investigators interviewed Yetman for about 10 minutes, the documents state.

They knew who he was and what he'd done, he was being reported by other cops, and yet nothing happened for years, until

Yetman was identified in a USA TODAY investigation in March that examined the more than 100 Jan. 6 suspects who could be identified from the FBI’s “Wanted” photographs, but had not yet been charged.

Members of the online amateur investigators known collectively as the “Sedition Hunters” provided USA TODAY with names and information about many of those people, whose photographs on the FBI site matched their social media postings or other public information.

Fuck the FBI, who have been fascist goons since their inception, and thank goodness for online amateurs and a free press that makes them actually do their job and protect us

Don't conflate the US legal system with a justice system. The goals and implementations of the two are radically different

Look at the picture of the criminal they are talking about, dressed in military gear, firing a canister of pepper spray, from a gun, at people.

Then see if you can continue to suggest that "attack" is the wrong word, using what you've learned.

You are anti-american trash.

Oh sorry man, I think you're on the wrong social media site. This is "Lemmy," what you're looking for is "Licking the inside of Donald Trump's crusty orange asshole social."
