"On January 6, there was a rally in Clearwater, Florida, of about 85 protesters, who came out in support of Jan. 6, 2021, defendant Jeremy Brown.
"But police picked up a man when they saw him running suspiciously near the rally. The man was dressed all in black with a black mask. Police arrested the man, identified as Garrett Smith, 22.
"The police searched his backpack and allegedly found a pipe explosive device which they determined to be “active,” so they cleared all the ralliers out of the area. The police also found a “Direct Action Checklist.” Direct action is a term frequently used by leftist groups like Antifa. On the list were a bunch of things like pepper spray, smoke rockets, a laser pointer (which Antifa used to aim at police officers’ eyes in Portland), flammable rags, and construction nails — making it clear he wasn’t planning on attending a tea party. He also had a helmet with the “iron front” three arrow logo on it — a logo commonly used by Antifa." . . .
