Five members of the Munn family were arrested by the FBI this week and charged with crimes related to the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. As has been the case with many of the arrests, they were fingered by friends and acquaintances after letting slip their involvement on social media. Time to Meet the Munns:
Dawn and Thomas Munn, as well as their children Kristi, Kayli and Joshua Munn, were charged with disorderly conduct and illegally entering and parading in the Capitol. Another child, an unnamed minor, also entered the Capitol, investigators said, but was not charged. [snip]
The Munn family’s alleged participation in the riot is part of a dynamic that has played out since Jan. 6, with many people reporting friends and family members they suspect participated in the insurrection to the FBI. A college freshman in Texas also reported his father for threatening to do “something big” before he stormed the Capitol.
According to authorities, Kristi Munn posted a photo on Facebook, before the Capitol was breached, that showed the family dressed in camouflage. It was captioned: “Washington D.C. here we come!!!" The family stayed in a hotel near Washington after driving 1,600 miles in 24 hours, Thomas Munn wrote in a Facebook post cited in the complaint. [snip]
Teachers from a high school and a college in Borger who had taught some of the Munn family members also reviewed photos of the family and confirmed their identities. [snip]
But in messages on Facebook obtained by investigators through search warrants, Kristi wrote to someone named Jarod on Jan. 7, “We were in the capital!!” She asked him to “keep that bit of info on the [down low] for right now.”
According to the complaint, she posted a status update the same day: “Tear gas tastes like freedom #StopTheSteal #TrumpIsMyPresident.” Someone commented asking if she knew that from experience. “I do now,” she replied.
In another message, Kristi wrote that she had taken so many videos of the riot that her phone ran out of storage. Instead, she used a minor child’s phone to record more. Investigators said it did not appear that this child traveled to Washington with the family.
Looking at the mugshots of four of the five Munns, it's easy to see it couldn't have taken much effort to get these gullible dimbulbs to swallow the "Stop the Steal" bullshit.
