Iowa Man Arrested, Charged With Taking Part in Capitol Riot (and fired from his job)

Des Moines Police Sgt. Paul Parizek said officers assisted the FBI in arresting 41-year-old Doug Jensen on Friday night at his home on the south side of the city.

Jensen was booked into the Polk County Jail early Saturday on five federal charges, including trespassing and disorderly conduct counts, according to news releases from the FBI's field office in Omaha, Nebraska and the county sheriff's office.

Sgt. Ryan Evans of the county sheriff's office said Jensen was being held without bond and that he didn’t know if he had an attorney. In a seven-second, expletive-laced TikTok video posted Thursday under the username @dougjensen, a man who appears to be Jensen suggests he's being made a “poster boy” for what happened and ends by saying, "Don't believe the news.”

The FBI and sheriff's office referred further inquiries about the case to the U.S. attorney's office in Washington.

"I just got caught up -- the President invited me -- " blubber blubber "Now I lost everything and they're sayin' 20 years for attempted kidnapping and murder and assault on a police officer and I don't know what I'm dooooinnnnn" blubber blubber. Expect it. He's already tearing up in the mugshot.

Who needs an intervention? All these guys need an intervention. A safe place where they can talk about the trauma that led them to be such less-thans.

They can all hang out with their hero Kyle Rittenhouse for a long, long quiet spell in the concrete cave while everyone else picks up the pieces and gets on with their lives.

always identify themselves as patriots. They're fed a constant diet of lies, lies they want to believe because their world view corresponds with the lies of kipthose lying to them. These lies always demonize Democrats, who are always out to get them and their precious guns. Well guess what? Because of your seditious actions at the Capitol we really are coming for you and your precious guns, but only because of your criminal actions against the people and property of United States citizens and their legally elected representatives.

Scum like these jackasses need to be removed from civilised people.
