Trump-Loving Capitol Rioter Indicted for Child Porn Charges on Top of Felony Insurrection

I mean, if you're gonna commit one felony, why not go for another?

I keep being amazed at how far across the country people were willing to travel to shake their fists in the air in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021.

I don’t know why, but it just continues to astound me.

But even more astounding is the fact that so many of these miscreants are guilty of things other than just trying to overthrow democracy. I mean, that’s plenty, but it’s like… Wipe your browser history, you know? If you’re going to be a criminal, be a proper one.

In the latest report out of California, one of the rioters already under arrest for his participation in the insurrection has been nabbed on child pornography charges as well.

From CBS News:

A California man already under arrest for his actions during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol has also now been indicted on child porn charges.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California announced on Tuesday that a federal grand jury had indicted 36-year-old Kyle Travis Colton on a charge of receiving child pornography.

Court documents allege that Colton received the pornography between July 2022 and December 2023.

Colton was previously arrested on Dec. 15, 2023 on numerous charges relating to the Capitol riot.

CCTV footage allegedly captured Colton inside and outside the Capitol building that day. He was also allegedly identified as part of a group of rioters fighting law enforcement.

Now, I’m not saying that all MAGA folks are child pornographers by any means. I’m just saying, maybe make sure the guy you’re idolizing never talked about sleeping with his own teenage daughter.

Maybe, just maybe, try to ensure that your cult leader isn’t tied up with all that messy Jeffrey Epstein nonsense.

But definitely, by all means, go ahead and don’t download child porn. I mean, that’s a good rule to just live by, but especially if you’re gonna go ahead and commit other crimes.

Maybe if you’re going to punch a cop, don’t have naked pictures of kids on your computer afterward.

I mean, was this dude locked up the entire time, and just couldn’t get home to wipe his hard drive? Or did he not think that participating in a riot against the US government was quite enough of a crime, so he decided, why not be a TOTAL creep?

Never mind that this guy has three first names, all of which sound like a school shooter. Kyle, for god’s sake, just go on a date with someone. And try not to, you know, crime them.
