#SeditionHunters - the FBI prosecution of assault on media has reached one of the nastiest: Alan Byerly of PA aka #GreyBeanieMeanie, who viciously attacked AP photographer John Minchillo. He's the one in the grey beanie...PA journalists, do your thing! 1/

His PA affiliation wasn't hard to find; his beanie says "Kutztown". The attack was shocking for his visible rage, also Minchillo was pushed over a wall & could have been seriously hurt. (Btw don't credit those who helped Minchillo; they may be org. folks trying to de-escalate) 2/ 
The video crucial to Byerly's arrest was shot by his AP colleague Julio Cortez (julythephotoguy) from helmet-mounted cam. So reporting itself defends reporters! As in the #MediaSmash, the mob called any journalist "CNN".. 3/
#SeditionHunters - just in case you hadn't heard, #AllBlackTrumpHat is arrested, importantly the first for assault on media (AOM). He also has an AOF (assault on a federal officer); that's the clip below. Both by tackling from behind.. Docs at link. 1/

Here is the AOM by #AllBlackTrumpHat (Shane Woods of IL); he blindsided a cameraman in the AP Press pen during the end-of-day #MediaSmash. Many people have been frustrated that attacks on journalists on Jan 6 did not seem taken seriously. Hopefully many more arrests to come. 2/
It's been a busy arrest day for FBI! Besides #EmoNazi and #AllBlackTrumpHat they got #ClipperGlitch & wife, Jamie & Jennifer Buteau, Qanon fanatics previously interviewed by documentarian Cullen Hoback. Hoback himself strolled Capitol grounds on Jan 6.. 3/
