Action News has learned that police got a tip about a group, possibly a family, driving up from Virginia in a Hummer to unleash an attack at the Convention Center where votes are being counted in Philadelphia.

The suspect in the video is not dressed as militia.
This is what it looks like outside the Convention Center tonight. https://twitter.com/FordFischer/status/1324580081776414720?s=19
I have a possible ID for this guy.
Damn, his Facebook was taken down before I could grab most of it.
The account was into QAnon and Khazerian conspiracy theories.
He had a 5000 word post explaining his conspiracy theory but it went proof before I could grab it.
My bad. Khazarian, not Khazerian.
Before he was into QAnon, he was into Anonymous.
Any journalist out there want to confirm the ID?
I can give you the few screen grabs I got, pictures with his Hummer, and so on.
No takers so I'll put the images up here. He has a unique face, is from Virginia, drives a Hummer, and his Facebook page was pulled shortly after the incident.
He has a gofundme, of course. https://www.gofundme.com/f/virginia-armed-patriots?sharetype=teams&member=5086802&rcid=r01-15955435257-53b3a20cf037408b&pc=tw_co_campmgmt_w&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet+expWdV
Good god, he does bad cat art. I'm out. Good night, everyone. http://lamottaart-oil.blogspot.com/
He had at least two Facebook accounts which are both now gone unfortunately.

While QAnon and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories seem to be his primary drivers, he's got some sovereign citizen markers as well.
Chesapeake men face charges in Philadelphia after driving to convention center with guns, police say https://www.pilotonline.com/news/vp-nw-philadelphia-arrest-20201106-3nrx36ywhbem3n7fbjqra2b354-story.html
I'm not sure why they're calling him Paredes instead of LaMotta. His federal court filings from his two bankruptcies show a legal name of Antonio Peredes LaMotta.
To clarify, PBS is calling his Paredes. https://whyy.org/articles/armed-qanon-follower-arrested-in-alleged-philly-convention-center-threat-linked-to-far-right-va-senator/
Second man identified as Joshua Macias.
