The suspect had been identified as Floyd Ray Roseberry of Grover, North Carolina.
Roseberry says there are 5 total bombs in DC that will blow up if he is shot.
“I’m here for a reason Joe Biden. I’m here for the American people. If you want to take me out – take me out. But when the patriots come, your ass is in trouble.”
Taken from DC bombing suspect Ray Roseberry’s Facebook: “The revolution is here, it’s today.”
“I love this land. We got a few options here, Joe Biden. You shoot me, then two and half blocks are going with me. And then you’re talking about a revolution. The revolution is on.”
UPDATE — Suspect In Custody
WASHINGTON — The Capitol bomb threat suspect has surrendered and is in police custody.
A man sitting in a black pickup truck parked on the sidewalk outside the Library of Congress told police he had a bomb Thursday, triggering a standoff in the heart of the nation’s capital.
Officials evacuated a number of buildings around the Capitol and sent snipers to the area after officers saw a man holding what looked like a detonator inside the pickup, which had no license plates. The man was identified as Floyd Ray Roseberry, 49, of Grover, North Carolina, according to two people briefed on the matter. Congress is in recess this week, but staffers were seen calmly walking out of the area at the direction of authorities.
Police negotiators were communicating with Roseberry as he wrote notes and showed them to authorities from inside the truck, according to the two people and a third person also briefed on the matter.
While police continued negotiations, video surfaced of Roseberry on Facebook Live inside the truck, which was stuffed with coins and boxes. He was threatening explosions, making anti-government threats and talking about what he believes are the ills of the country, including the U.S. position on Afghanistan, health care and the military.
He said Democrats needed to step down, then also said he loved the president, Democrat Joe Biden. Facebook removed the videos a few hours after they were apparently filmed. Roseberry did not appear to have a specific demand for law enforcement other than to speak with Biden.
Roseberry’s ex-wife, Crystal Roseberry, said she had seen images of the man in the standoff at the Capitol and confirmed to The Associated Press that it was her ex-husband. She said had never known him to have explosives, but that he was a collector of firearms.
Roseberry recorded a 30-minute facebook livestream.
CFP and Spencer Neale captured these highlights before it was deleted.

Im worried about AOC how much more of this can she take
Right on time!
She must be hiding in a closet.........................
Hey American dogs looking at Afghanistan...
SQUIRREL!
Yep. Stevie Wonder saw it coming.
Black Swan?
False Flag?
Gas Light?
Random Nutcase?..................................
FBI “informants” are so useful!
With kids back in school time for a mass shooting
Can you say BLACK SWAN?
Could this guy be anymore stereotypical of the evil “white supremicist”?, all they missed on his truck is a confederate flag decal, and a “The South will Rise Again” slogan.
Coming for the 2nd amendment after this, bank on it.
He sounds like some of the Branch Covidians who have been posting their outlandish nonsense here on FR since March 2020. :-P
now we had better do something about firearms shooting people and causing them to go crazy.
She’s under her desk crying, and she was sexually assaulted in the past...
He still trusts the plan!
Bless his heart...
He’s gonna lose that truck, though... and go to jail.
Trust the plan, throw your life away, accomplish nothing.
The timing makes sense, in order to get Afghanistan off of the radar, but why not detonate the bombs - then no one will even remember what happened there?
he was a collector of firearms
I’m voting for random nutcase.
He seems to be opposed to a government order that cut off his pain meds, and there really was such an order. It was meant to prevent easy availability and thus opioid addiction (which it certainly hasn’t done), but prevented a lot of legitimate patients from getting the amount of pain relief they needed.
If this were real, the bombs would have blown and then he takes credit. The order is wrong.
