Timcast IRL #200 - Feds Consider FELONY MURDER Charges For DC Rioters, Parler Strikes Back w/ DontWalkRun
Featuring: DontWalkRun
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 200, recorded on January 12, 2021, featured host Tim Pool and senior political analyst Andrew from Don't Walk Run Productions discussing the aftermath of the January 6th Capitol riot. The episode opened with news that federal prosecutors were considering felony murder charges against rioters, using the legal theory that participants in a crime where someone died could all face such charges. Tim contrasted this with a 2017 case where prosecutors attempted to charge hundreds of Antifa members with conspiracy for wearing black, which did not succeed. The show then covered Parler's lawsuit against Amazon after being deplatformed, with Tim noting the irony of Twitter allowing "Hang Mike Pence" to trend while Amazon claimed Parler wasn't moderating content. The panel discussed the growing censorship against conservatives, including Cumulus Radio warning hosts about election fraud claims, and widespread no-fly lists affecting protesters. Andrew offered political analysis on the implications of these actions, while co-host Ian Crossland reacted to footage of individuals being added to no-fly lists. The episode included a sponsor segment for Keto Elevate from Biotrust and touched on the targeting of figures like Ron Paul by critics online.

Notable Quotes
“Federal prosecutors are considering whether or not they can charge many of the people involved in the riot at the Capitol with felony murder. The logic here is that if you are part of a group that is in the process of committing a crime and someone dies, then you get charged with felony murder.”
— Tim Pool · opening story
“This looks more like anti-competitive action from a cabal of Silicon Valley elites. Considering Parler was the fastest growing network, the number one app on the iTunes store seems particularly, well, it seems like they may be right.”
— Tim Pool · Parler lawsuit discussion
“They're calling for death and things like that. They say Parler wasn't doing that. So we're going to terminate you without notice, breaching the contract, according to Parler. And they said at the same time, hang Mike Pence was trending on Twitter.”
— DontWalkRun · guest interview segment
“Here it comes, man. The purge is going to be long-lasting. There's talks of widespread armed protests around the country through the next several days, maybe a couple weeks, and into the 20th.”
— Tim Pool · main discussion
“Once you hear the pain in the individual's voice, I think is when it really hits home what we could end up doing to these people inadvertently and all of us inadvertently if somebody committed a crime like that dude who was attacking the cops and literally killed the guy.”
— Ian Crossland · panel reaction
