Cambria man gets probation for breaking into the capitol on Jan. 6

October 30, 2024

By KAREN VELIE

A 37-year-old Canbria man was sentenced on Tuesday to one-year probation for his actions at the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia found Cameron Clapp, a triple amputee, guilty of disorderly conduct in a capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building. The court also ordered Clapp to pay $500 in restitution.

On Feb. 13, FBI agents arrested Clapp for entering a restricted building and attempting to disrupt Congress. Multiple videos show Clapp inside the Capitol and walking the halls. After receiving a tip that Clapp breached the Capitol, agents found a video Clapp made following the breach.

“I made it in but there’s—Nobody’s in, like everyone’s leaving,” Clapp says in the video. “So, I did my part. I’m… satisfied.”

At 15 years old, Clapp lost two legs and an arm after being hit by a train. He now works as a motivational speaker for children who have lost limbs.

Personal history time. We were the canyon kids in high school. Remember the day his twin brother Jessie, RIP, tried the full length zip line made from plastic rope. It melted 3/4 of the way down and he fell about 30 ft landing upside down on backside of the canyon. Got right up. Those brothers were hard working (Burnardo’z) active tough dudes that would do anything for their friends. Yeah we partied hard but this was before every kid had their nose in a phone. Cameron was at a party earlier of the night of his accident, waving an American flag most of the time I saw him as this was just after September 11th. He’s been a patriot since I’ve known him.

That doesn’t excuse any of the severity of what happened at the capitol. But I can fully see him getting caught up in the moment especially when you dedicate time to make a trip out there for a protest in what you believe. I would blame trump more than any of his followers, but they all share a responsibility of that day. Having said that I will always stand up for the quality of his character. He is a solid awesome guy if you ever got the pleasure of knowing him

Since he draws on his life experience, do you think he will broaden out his motivational guidance to focus on juvenile delinquent amputees?

Anyone ever seen the video of the Q-Shaman guy literally having doors opened for him by Capitol police officers? That was strange. There are other videos also- Capitol police officers removing barricades and waiving people in. How is that not entrapment?


The massive doors to the Capitol use a sophisticated magnetic locking device also and can only be opened from the inside- It’s not public knowledge where to do so from inside, so who opened them?

Oh I see, the whole thing was a conspiracy perpetrated by deep state and funded by, let my guess, George Soros?

You’re on the right track but not for enough down the line.

Sure, and during the remodel of the pizza place at broad and south they dug a basement, the stairs are in the walk-in.

Are you talking about the infamous Pizzagate Where Podesta was linked to Comet Ping Pong and James Alefantis in that strange alleged human trafficking and under age kid operation?


The one where the owner claimed there wasn’t a basement, and then it turned out there actually was, and no further investigation ever went on?


Podesta sure had some strange “artwork” in his office, not stuff you would display in public. Now he’s Trumps: “Senior Advisor to the President for International Climate Policy”?


Anyway, there was some very damning stuff in that one.. went nowhere, kind of like the Epstein client list stuff. Now Podesta works for the White House, awesome.

I’ve been looking for the hospitality gestures you describe. All I see is hours and hours of people Trump calls “hero’s”. Using the American flag to beat up cops, smash windows, punch holes in the walls and break down doors in one of the most historically important buildings in the US while ranting about killing politicians.

What are you going to say next-the secret service and other law enforcement welcomed Trumps “hero’s” with pizza and beer?

Lol.

How do you explain their defecating on the table tops then? Were they invited to do that as well?

To have integrity it requires one to not lie to themselves.

There were a lot of Agents on Jan 6th and it was largely a set-up in my opinion after looking at lot of evidence with an impartial view.


Case in point- Ray Epps. Who is this guy?


He was on camera the evening before saying “We have to go into the Capitol.” – and then the day of he was in the front of the line- directing people it appears to start pushing on the barricades. He wasn’t charged, until public outcry, and then the media covered for him and he was given I think some bogus slap on the wrist.


Guy was obvious an agent provocateur it appears working with the government or he would have gone to jail a long time.


“Scaffold guy” who was using a bull horn to direct people and encourage them also a sketchy Ray Epps like character who never got identified somehow?


The people literally climbing the shear wall- why would they do this? It’s a photo-op literally when there are stairs to either side.


Most of the event was encouraged, and likely choreographed by a very high number of provocateurs in the crowd.

“it was largely a set-up in my opinion after looking at lot of evidence with an impartial view.”


A set up by the felon trump, stone etc to overturn the election by the gop, it’s always Projection, every day.

A foil hat helps to reduce the voices. And it is cooling.

I have no solid opinion on what happened at the capitol, but it did remind me of the signs that used to be posted on the easterly banks of Santa Margarita Lake, ” NO TRESPASSING U.S. PROPERTY”,


-11

You have no solid opinion? I guess nothing illegal happened then.


6

Precisely. Nothing illegal happened!


-9

In your dreams.

You are right. Definitely not a solid opinion. Pretty much a very low IQ brain fart.

If you can read and write try to Google this: January 6 United States Capitol attack. It might bring you up to speed with what the rest of the world knows what happened.

BTW. What do you do at the easterly banks of SM Lake to be so out of touch?


-3

Lotta emotion. Not much reason.


-5

You are right, not much reason to support the attempted coupe on January 6.

Amen!

Absolutely disgusting and detestable behavior for a human being and an American! Should have been jailed for at least 5 years, along with all of the other traitors on January 6th who feel they can stomp on America’s flag in utter disrespect for our wonderful nation. Everyone who fought in and died from World War II are rolling in their graves with anger and hatred for people who could treat our country like all of the renegade anti-Americans did in our nation’s capitol on January 6th.


-8

Now that’s amusing stuff.


-8

Yes, it is amusing that people do not understand that there was an attempted coup d’état on January 6th. At least the trump felon was convicted 34 times.

A threat to the US government, really.

Glad you understand the law.

He did his part in obstructing American democracy. I’ll trust that one year probation will send the message that there are consequences to trying to shred the Constitution.

(from Law and Crime) “I was drunk and didn’t see — I didn’t hear the train that was right there on the tracks. Boom!” Clapp told Los Angeles’ KNBC in 2012. “That thing hit me, tossed my body around, got my arm, cut my legs off first, got my arm second, and I don’t really remember actually being hit by the train.”

“I don’t have any remorse or regret for the event that took my legs and my arm because I know I wouldn’t be who I am today,” he added. “I was definitely a rebel, you know, a hooligan. I was drinking all the time. My behavior was self-destructive.”



  • Apparently, it still is.

I’d bet if you asked him yourself he’d say this was worth it as well. A year of probation will make a great story for his predecessors.

Huh? From Webster’s…Predecessors …a person who has previously occupied a position or office to which another has succeeded.

Not quite right….

His idiot progeny is probably what you are looking for…
