Twenty defendants of the previous week’s lethal mob at the United States Capitol building had taken into custody across the country with the charges of demonstrating the crowd’s danger.
Some of the bodies are alleged of taking guns and bombs at the Capitol building, suggesting the extremism of part of the mob. Many of them were caught by cameras, attacking the building, getting fun while posing with congressional objects, including Nancy Pelosi’s lectern or her staffer’s desk. They openly bragged about the riot’s harmful and violent attitude.
Is there anything to worry about?
The most worrying among all the claims so far came against Lonnie Coffman, an Alabama resident charged when authorities realized an assault rifle, eleven homemade bombs, and a handgun present in the vehicle parked 2 blocks away from the United States Capitol. Moreover, his truck was parked there all morning throughout the rally, but he was taken into custody when he made an effort to go back to his truck.
According to court records, another defendant, Cleveland Grover Meredith, who was alleged for pushing text messages to shoot Nancy Pelosi (House Speaker). Furthermore, Grover came with hundreds of ammunitions and 3 weapons.

Thus far Sunday night, authorities have made two more arrests, Texas’ Larry Rendell Brock and Tennessee’s Eric Munchel. They had grabbed attention online because of photographs presenting them putting on body armors in the United States Capitol and holding plastic ties that used to restrain someone.
The newly released charging documents of Eric Munchel suggested that he was taken into custody on Sunday and had been restricted by law enforcement on 6th Jan because Eric had a Taser on him for self-defense while taking part in the mob.
The agencies chased pictures of Eric Munchel departing the hotel carrying a drink in his hand and without a face mask before President Trump started to deliver his speech on that day to his followers. Eric Munchel is alleged for entering prohibited areas of the United States Capitol and fierce access to the building.
At this moment, it has turned more critical for lawmakers than the attack was revealed on live TV. After having shelter on the House’ floor, Susan Wild (Democratic Representator) described, on CNN’s show, that what was going through her head was frankly terror.
