Truck bomb terrorist in D.C. today is a QTard Trump ball licker (I knew that as soon as I heard about the POS on the news) A diehard Trump supporter who claimed he had a bomb and livestreamed anti-government rants while parked outside the Library of Congress on Thursday has been taken into custody after five tense hours of negotiations. “Moments ago, Floyd Roy Roseberry from North Carolina was taken into custody without incident,” U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger said in a 2:30 p.m. press conference. At about 9:15 a.m., Capitol police responded to reports of a black pickup truck parked on a sidewalk, mere feet from the Capitol and Supreme Court. The driver told police that he had a bomb and a detonator in his hand, prompting the immediate evacuation of surrounding buildings, Manger said. With snipers nearby, negotiators tried to communicate with Roseberry, 49, from Grover, who posted a Facebook livestream showing him parked outside the Court of Neptune statues on the west face of the Library of Congress, across the street from the Capitol. In the video, Roseberry held a metal container of what he claimed was tannerite, a binary explosive compound popular with firearms enthusiasts for its ability to detonate by gunfire. The man in the video matched the description and location of a photo posted to Twitter by a passerby who captioned it “casually seeing witnessing a bomb threat on the way to class.” The woman who took the photo, University of Wisconsin student Sydney Bobb, told The Daily Beast she’s studying in D.C. for the summer and was walking to school with other students when she came upon Roseberry throwing money from the window of his truck and to call 911 because he had a bomb. “I’m not from D.C., so I didn’t know if this was, like, a regular Tuesday,” Bobb, 22, said, adding she flagged it to nearby police. “My other classmates were...a block behind me, so my main concern was to let them know to cross the street.” Capitol Police didn’t find a bomb inside Roseberry’s vehicle, but said later that “possible bomb making materials were collected from the truck.” Roseberry identified himself in the livestream and on Facebook as a Trump supporter who is aggrieved about the situation in Afghanistan and believes the Democrats must “step down.” Old videos on Roseberry’s Facebook page show he participated in at least one rally to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory, the “Million MAGA March” in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 14. “I love this land,” Roseberry said in his livestream on Thursday, which was reviewed by The Daily Beast before it was removed. “We got a few options here, Joe. You shoot me, two-and-a-half blocks go with it. And then you’re talking about revolution? The revolution’s on. It’s here, it’s today. Told my wife I’d be home by Sunday. I’m looking for all my other patriots to come out and help me.” After reportedly trying to negotiate with Roseberry via messages on a whiteboard, Manger said police eventually used a robot to deliver a phone but Roseberry surrendered shortly after. In his livestream, Roseberry indicated several times that there were four other explosives, “sittin’ around this town,” but that he didn’t know where they were because “we all came in different ways.” He claimed his toolbox was full of ammonium nitrate. “When this bomb goes off there’s gonna be four more right behind it, and then the patriots are gonna come, because you don’t know where them four are sitting one of them might be sitting at your backdoor—better, better talk to me, Joe,” Roseberry said at one point, referring to President Joe Biden, who he appeared to be speaking to throughout the rambling videos. Roseberry expressed anger about the chaos in Afghanistan and said he was “taking a stand” for the people there as well as “the American people.” “This ain’t about politics. This ain’t got nothing to do with politics, I don’t care if Donald Trump ever become president again don’t matter to me,” he said. “ I think y’all Democrats need to step down.” Roseberry said he had a wife and two kids, but that they didn’t know he was there. A reporter for NBC Washington said he spoke to Roseberry’s wife, who said her husband left North Carolina last night on a purported fishing trip. She said her husband, who she said voted for Trump, had been upset with the result of the 2020 election. According to North Carolina State Board of Elections records, Roseberry registered to vote for the first time on Nov. 5, 2016, three days before the election that sent Trump to the White House. His party affiliation is listed as Republican. Shortly after Roseberry surrendered, Manger told reporters that the man’s criminal history was “nothing that serious.” He provided additional clues to Roseberry’s state of mind, saying that his mother passed away recently. In one of his livestreams, Roseberry had also mentioned: “We got a tenant renting my mom’s house because she died of cancer.” Roseberry’s wife reportedly told NBC Washington that he has struggled with mental health issues and recently changed medication. A friend of Roseberry’s told The Daily Beast that Thursday’s events took him by surprise, since Roseberry always seemed “like a good guy, that I know of.”
