So it’s pretty likely the confederate flag guy is going to be charged under a “civil disorder” statute championed by an anti-civil rights Southern senator who was specifically trying to target Black activists back in 1968: huffpost.com/entry/anti-rio… 
Basing that on this: Doug Jensen, the QAnon shirt guy who led the group chasing a Black cop, is facing a charge of obstructing a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder. It’s a pretty broad statute that concerns civil rights lawyers. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/cri…
How do we know the Southern senator had Black activists in mind when he proposed the law? Well, because he repeatedly said so.
Confederate flag guy, unlike many of the other insurrectionists, got his very own wanted-style FBI poster, so seems like some pretty deep interest in getting him. Probably the most viral insurrectionist still not identified. fbi.gov/wanted/capitol…
