Wanted Capitol rioter Taylor Taranto had streamed from outside at least two elementary schools in Washington, DC last month prior to his arrest near former President Obama’s home in the Kalorama neighborhood, federal prosecutors wrote in a filing ahead of a detention hearing for the scumbag, making it pretty clear the MAGA terrorist had likely contemplated slaughtering children.

“The government’s detention memo discusses a video, posted on June 18, 2023, entitled ‘Piney Branch Elementary School J6th presentation (NOT for kids!)’ Investigators have been in contact with Public Facilities for Piney Branch School and have learned that Montgomery County issued a permit to a group called ‘Make America Safe Again’ for the use of Piney Branch School on June 18, 2023. After learning of the actions taken by that group inside of the school, Montgomery County learned that this group was in direct violation of the use agreement and has since suspended the group’s access to Montgomery County facilities,” prosecutors wrote in the filing.

Continued: “The government received additional information related to the defendant filming at another elementary school in Washington DC, which has now been identified as Payne Elementary. Review of the video clips shows that the defendant was filming children outside of the school who were participating in an evacuation drill. In the video, the defendant states the children are being evacuated because there is a ‘violent white supremacist out somewhere.'”

CBS’s Scott MacFarlane reports that federal prosecutors on Wednesday said they still don’t have charges ready yet for Taranto’s threats and, as he’s only been hit with misdemeanor counts for the Capitol riot, he could (in theory) be released on his own recognizance after the hearing. But yeah, that’s extremely unlikely to happen given the circumstances of the larger case against him.

UPDATE 7/12/2023: DC federal Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui ordered Taranto detained pending new federal firearms charges, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports, while also noting that Taranto’s lawyers told Faruqui their client was assaulted by other January 6th inmates on Tuesday and had to be placed in protective custody by corrections staff at the “DC Gulag.”
