Tracking Down The Seditionists: Bumble Bumbler

 

Apologies for beginning your day with a pic of this candidate for The Missing Link, but another insurrectionist has been caught, thanks to his bumble-ing:

One week after the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Robert Chapman sent a message to a prospective love interest on the dating app Bumble to brag that he had taken part.

“I did storm the capitol,” he said, according to court documents. “I made it all the way to Statuary Hall.”

His potential date wrote back: “We are not a match.” Then, the Bumble user contacted the police.

Thanks to the tip, Chapman was arrested by the FBI on Thursday and charged with trespassing at the U.S. Capitol and disrupting official government operations by allegedly participating in the deadly riot. Chapman had also bragged on Facebook about being in the insurrection, the FBI said — and even changed his profile picture to a selfie in the riot.  [snip]

The Bumble user, who isn’t identified in court documents, shared a screenshot of Chapman’s messages with law enforcement officials on Jan. 13. A criminal complaint included images of the chat, in which Chapman also bragged about talking to national reporters about joining the mob.

When the Bumble user rejected Chapman and told him they were “not a match,” he replied: “I suppose not.”

After getting the tip, the FBI agent reviewed body camera footage recorded by D.C. police on Jan. 6. The video showed Chapman standing inside Statuary Hall using his cellphone camera to record the crowd, according to court records.

Screenshots of the video filed as evidence show Chapman, with distinctive thick sideburns and wearing a black-and-white bandanna across his brow, surrounded by other protesters inside the Capitol.

It's hard to imagine how any woman could resist the muttonchops on that muttonhead.

The felonious nitwits still on the loose need to be charged, tried and sentenced.  Even if you don't run in these low- IQAnon circles (and we know you don't), there's possibly a slim chance you've seen one of them out and about.  Please check the FBI's U.S. Capitol Violence web site to see photos and videos of their most wanted.
