An armed QAnon devotee drove 800 miles from Wisconsin to Washington, DC, and had plans to do something “crazy stupid,” according to a criminal complaint first reported on by the Daily Beast.
Ian Alan Olson was in DC ahead of March 4 – a highly anticipated date for QAnon followers. Some believers of the discredited conspiracy thought that the day would result in former President Donald Trump’s reinstatement and the beginning of “The Storm.”
The day before this failed fantasy date, Olson told a member of the National Guard that he was “maybe going to do something crazy stupid tomorrow.”
Shortly after, Olson was approached by Capitol police. He told the police officer that he wanted to “test the National Guard tomorrow to see if they were loyal to the people or to the President,” according to the complaint.
Not being shot would demonstrate the National Guard’s loyalty to “the people,” Olson explained to the cop.
