Antifa Activist Daniel Alan Baker Arrested for Plotting to Murder Trump Supporters
Quote:Antifa supporter Daniel Alan Baker was arrested for plotting to murder Trump supporters and police on Inauguration Day.
He trained in Syria in 2017 with the YPG, was featured on VICE, and in 2020 participated in the CHAZ insurrection in Seattle, per DOJ documents.
Jack Posobiec broke the story Friday.
Baker posted links to CNN on his “Call to Arms” to kill Trump supporters and police officers on Inauguration Day.
Daniel Alan Baker wanted to stockpile AK-47s and build bombs in CHAZ district in Seattle to start “the revolution.”
Tallahassee WCTV had more on the arrest:
Tallahassee resident Daniel Baker was arrested Friday.
Federal law enforcement alleges he encouraged violence against protesters expected to hold demonstrations at the Capitol starting Sunday.
US Attorney for Florida’s Northern District Lawrence Keefe told us earlier this week, law enforcement had been working to identify threats before they manifested.
“Trying to detect, disrupt and dismantle any coordinated efforts to attack any capital,” said Keefe.
Baker, a former US Army infantryman, took part in a number of last summer’s protests against police brutality according to the affidavit.
The criminal complaint included Daniel Baker saying he received Soros money and he will be offering cash rewards for information on Trump supporters in his video.
Baker also offers cash rewards to any of his followers who send him information on Trump supporters at the US Capitol protest and riots.
Here is the entire criminal complaint filed against Daniel Alan Baker.

Quote:A former airborne infantryman was arrested Friday on charges he issued a call to attack protesters Sunday at Florida’s state Capitol.
Daniel Alan Baker, 33, of Tallahassee, Florida, faces a federal charge involving transmitting a threat to kidnap or injure, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.
Prosecutors described Baker as a “hard-core leftist” who was angry about the January 6. siege of the U.S. Capitol.
The former soldier received a less-than-honorable discharge from the Army after he went AWOL when his unit was to deploy to Iraq, according to the Miami Herald.
Prosecutors said Baker, who has reported ties to a militia group in Syria, planned to violently confront protesters at the Capitol on Sunday.
The FBI has warned about a substantial risk of violence at protests expected this weekend at all 50 state capitals.
The agency first received a warning in October that Baker threatened violence and was trying to “recruit and train” others via social media to advance his “anti-government or anti-authority violent extremism ideology,” the criminal complaint said. It cited multiple violent threats to white supremacists, fascists, fellow citizens with opposing political views and Baker’s advocacy for killing US military officers
“Baker issued a call to arms for like-minded individuals to violently confront protesters gathered at the Florida Capitol this Sunday,” federal prosecutors said. “He specifically called for others to join him in encircling any protesters and confining them at the Capitol complex using firearms.”
The battle cry was part of an 18-second video Baker posted on his YouTube channel showing him printing out fliers with the headline, “CALL TO ARMS JANUARY 20TH!” It also said that “armed racists” planted the Confederate flag in the US Capitol and that they would continue to wage an armed coup of every statehouse in the country.
“We need ALL FLORIDA RESIDENTS to RISE UP!” the flier said. “Here in Florida we must circle the terrorists who attack the Capitol! Let them take the capitol and fight with the cops. SURROUND THEM AND TRAP THEM INSIDE.”
Baker was deemed a flight risk at a video hearing and is being held as a flight risk. His next hearing is Jan. 21.

This what you get with ignoring street violence for nine months. The continued riots---the capital riot---now escalating to mob vs mob violence---this is all the result of the complete lack of any reasonable traditional law and order response to wide spread organized street violence this year. Tolerance of violence is tacit approval of violence.
