February 15, 2024 Extremists, Trump cultists

NBC News reports:

Brooklyn man who had been arrested at anti-vaccine protests at a Burger King, an Applebee’s and a Cheesecake Factory in New York City was arrested by federal authorities Wednesday and charged with assaulting law enforcement officers during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Mitchell Bosch, 44, was identified with the help of online “sedition hunters” who have aided the FBI in hundreds of arrests of suspects in the riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Bosch is charge with felony counts of civil disorder and assaulting, resisting or impeding officers, along with misdemeanor charges.

Bosch had previously run for the City Council as a Republican, and the New York Post had documented his arrests at a Cheesecake Factory, an Applebee’s and a Burger King in December 2021, when he was opposing the city’s vaccination mandate. Bosch was also arrested at the Museum of Natural History.

From the Justice Department:



According to court documents, Bosch was identified in open-source video footage and police body-worn camera footage as present among a crowd of rioters amassed inside the restricted perimeter of the Capitol grounds at the Northwest Courtyard on Jan. 6, 2021.

At approximately 4:20 p.m. on January 6, United States Capitol Police Officers and Metropolitan Police Department Officers were making a concerted effort to push rioters away from the Northwest Courtyard and off the Capitol grounds.

During this push by law enforcement, court documents say that Bosch can be seen in multiple instances opposing the police advance by pushing directly against officers, assisting other rioters in pushing against officers, and encouraging other rioters to oppose the police.

About one minute into the officers’ advance, open-source video depicts Bosch joining rioters moving up to oppose the police line as they chant “U.S.A. U.S.A.”

As Bosch moved into the police line, he put his hands up toward an officer’s riot shield and used his body to push into the shield as rioters around him did the same.

Bosch stayed at the front of the mob as the rioters used their collective effort to shove that portion of the police line back several feet.

At about 4:26 p.m., officers reestablished their line and resumed their attempt to push the mob out of the Northwest Courtyard.

Bosch is seen on body-worn camera footage as he moved up in the crowd and braced himself behind another rioter before rushing again to the front of the crowd of rioters as another confrontation between officers and the mob began.

By approximately 4:34 p.m., officers had successfully moved the rioters around the Capitol building’s northwest corner and had begun pushing them further away from the building to the north.

At approximately 4:35 p.m., another fight began along the police line on the side still closest to the Capitol building. Body-worn camera footage from this time depicts Bosch rushing forward to engage officers and again pushing into the police line.

Officers successfully pushed Bosch back to the other side of the police line; however, he once again rushed police and pushed into the line before retreating back into the crowd.

Bosch remained within the restricted perimeter on the east side of the Capitol grounds for some time following his confrontation with police.
