Diversity Makes Greatness
Another violent Trump supporter. This one has complete disregard for a court order that he not participate in obstruction of Congress, and did exactly that on January 6th.

One of the most basic rules of professional journalism is to avoid becoming part of the story.

This guy didn't get the lesson.

He is no professional. He is a hack tabloid nonsense dangerous rumor promoter. He does this for money. He profits from tearing our great nation apart and causing bitter division.

"A host with a show on the Austin-based conspiracy website Infowars violated the terms of a federal prosecution deferral and participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, according to a criminal complaint and arrest warrant filed in U.S. District Court in Washington.

Jonathon Owen Shroyer, whose show “The War Room With Owen Shroyer” streams daily on the Infowars platform “banned.video,” was charged Thursday with violent and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds and entering a restricted area without authority, both misdemeanors.

"There's a lot of questions. Some I have answers to; some I don't. ... I plan on declaring innocence of these charges because I am," Shroyer said in a video posted on the Infowars website. He said on air Friday that his lawyer had informed him there was a warrant out for his arrest and that he would have to turn himself in to authorities Monday morning."

InfoWars host Owen Shroyer charged in Capitol riot

"According to the DOJ, Shroyer entered into a deferred prosecution agreement after he was arrested on two misdemeanor charges in December 2019 for disrupting a House Judiciary Committee meeting regarding the second impeachment of then-President Donald Trump.

During the hearing, Shroyer jumped up and yelled that Americans were "sick of your impeachment scam."

"You're the one committing treason!" he yelled at House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY).

Shroyer's deferred prosecution agreement called for him not to engage in disorderly or disruptive conduct in the Capitol grounds or building or to parade, demonstrate or picket within any Capitol building.

A host for the far-right conspiracy website InfoWars was charged in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot this week – with federal prosecutors alleging he broke the terms of a deal to avoid charges from a January 2020 arrest.

Owen Shroyer, an Austin, Texas, resident and host of “The War Room With Owen Shroyer,” was charged with four misdemeanor counts, including entering a restricted grounds and disorderly conduct, according to court documents published Thursday.

In screenshots included in charging documents, the Justice Department says Shroyer can be seen standing next to InfoWars founder Alex Jones and “Stop the Steal” rally organizer Ali Alexander in a restricted area of the Capitol grounds near the inauguration stage. To date, neither Jones nor Alexander have been charged in connection with the riot.

The DOJ said investigators also identified other video showing Shroyer at the top of the stairs on the east side of the Capitol.

Shroyer also allegedly called into an InfoWars broadcast live on January 6 from the Capitol grounds. During the call, the DOJ says Shroyer claimed there were “probably 100,000 people” at the Capitol and said, “They’ve taken the Capitol grounds. They’ve surrounded the building itself. They’re on the actual building structure… We literally own these streets right now.”

The agreement also required Shroyer to complete 32 hours of community service. According to the Justice Department, as of January 6 Shroyer had not completed any of those hours – meaning the terms of his deferred prosecution agreement were still in effect."
