I have cut ties with any Republican as a close friend long ago (I can fake being civil to some), so I'm probably not the one to ask. I have no sympathy for privileged hypocrite white dudes who play hero-victim, vote for racists, and support causes that are socially inequitable.
I don't have any Republicans friends either because I can't tolerate their hypocrisy either. The only few people that I know still support Trump and the GOP are a few people in my hubby's family and I even removed them as friends on Facebook because I can't tolerate their position. This guy used to be an old friend, so we have no ties or any connection any longer. My husband has kept him as friend on Facebook and last night when looking through it he found out what he had done. The guy still has it posted on his page as if he still proud of what he did :mad:
 
Im going to do so tomorrow morning. My husband is now taking screenshots of his FB postings. I'm glad he is not a good friend and he has never been the nicest person. Among the few nice things he has done in his life was introducing me to my husband when they were roommates.

The evil barsteward, no wonder your husband is reporting him.....
 
Report him. I was reading in the Guardian today that the FBI have received over 140,000 tips. Also many are from family a friends of the insurrectionists. Many saying the have no regrets about doing it and would do it again in a heartbeat. Do it. Advice from your friends to the North.
Thanks for the advice. We are gathering some evidence with the hubby and tomorrow I will be calling the FBI too. These people really need to be held accountable or this will become the new norm and it will deteriorate our democracy.
 
You would not be alone if you did so. I think this part is particularly relevant, what do you think the person might do if this incident does not deter them?

Increasingly estranged friends and relatives told The Washington Post they were driven to law enforcement by their own politics, a sense of moral obligation and a fear of what their loved ones could do next.
“They left me no choice because they are on such a destructive path and I do worry about other people’s safety as well as theirs,” said a Texas woman who recounted learning through social media that family members were on the Capitol lawn, apparently beyond the barriers that rioters toppled. Her husband said he can corroborate that she informed the FBI.

Thanks for the encouragement LL. I feel the same moral obligation and I also feel it is necessary for these people to feel their actions have consequences. This guy has always been able to get away with things because he comes from a rich family but hopefully no more.
 
Then before you snitch on him, could you ask him to find me a nice 5 bedroom home on a large plot, near the water by St Pete’s.....
I'm not snitching on him. I'm reporting his illegal activities to law enforcement, it is my obligation. He deserves to be investigated for breaking the law and thinking he is above it all.

Defo the right call. He stopped being a person you can call a friend and trustworthy the minute he stormed the building. This goes beyond taking sides. Neither party should want these sort of folk supporting them. The sort that will break the law at the drop of a hat.

Bad decisions should have some sort of consequence. That includes people breaking windows and overturning cars or burning them in other protests.

Thanks for the reassurance.

I guess I should have really never called him a friend. He used to be one 26 years ago, now he is just my husband's acquaintance. Regardless, he broke the law and he has done so before when he was younger but his parents always bailed him out. It is about time that he learns he can continue going through live without being held responsible for his actions.
