In a shocking interview, the parents of Bryan Coe Jr., who stands accused of being the January 6th pipe bomber, vehemently deny their son's involvement and allege that the government is framing him. They recount the terrifying morning of his arrest, the lack of transparency from authorities, and their son's character, painting a picture of a quiet, autistic man with no political leanings or criminal history.

The Morning of the Arrest: A Nightmare Unfolds

Bryan Coe Sr. describes receiving a call from an FBI agent while traveling in Alabama. The agent informed him that his son had been picked up. Prior to the call, Coe Sr. had been watching the news at 6 AM, where reports were circulating about an arrest in the J6 pipe bomber case. He initially dismissed any connection to his son, stating, "Never in a million years" would he have thought it was Bryan Jr. However, as the conversation with the FBI agent progressed, the news report mentioned a name, confirming his worst fears: his son was the person being discussed on TV. Within 20 seconds of this realization, reporters began calling him.

Bryan Coe Jr.'s mother, who was at home with her grandson, recounts waking up around 8 AM to the sound of sirens. She initially thought it was for an elderly neighbor. However, she soon heard commands to "Come out with your hands up. This is the FBI." Looking out her window, she saw her cul-de-sac filled with three different trucks, armed personnel with rifles pointed at her house, and numerous cars. She was ordered to get dressed and bring her grandson outside. Both she and her 17-year-old grandson were handcuffed and placed in separate trucks. She emphasizes the terrifying and confusing nature of the situation, stating, "You don't know what to think." She also highlights the family's business, a bail bonds company, which requires them to be licensed and carry firearms, making the aggressive approach by the FBI even more perplexing.
