In a gripping interview, Delicia and Brian Cole Sr. shared the harrowing story of their son, Brian Cole Jr., who was arrested and charged as the infamous January 6th pipe bomber. Their account paints a disturbing picture of government overreach, a lack of due process, and the devastating consequences for an innocent family.

The Morning of the Arrest: A Nightmare Unfolds

Brian Cole Sr. recounted the moment he learned of his son's arrest. While traveling for work in Alabama, he received a call from a DOJ officer, an FBI agent, informing him that his son had been picked up. This call came shortly after Brian Sr. had seen news reports about an arrest being made in the J6 pipe bomber case. He never imagined it would be his son. Delicia Cole, Brian Jr.'s mother, described waking up to sirens around 8:15 AM, initially thinking something was wrong with her elderly neighbor. To her shock, she then heard shouts of "Come out with your hands up, this is the FBI!" Looking out her window, she saw her cul-de-sac filled with armed officers, trucks with what appeared to be machine guns pointed at her house, and gunmen with rifles behind trees. She was immediately handcuffed, her phone confiscated, and placed in a truck. Her 16-year-old grandson, who was about to turn 17, suffered the same fate. Neither Delicia nor her grandson were told why they were being handcuffed or what was happening. They were never charged with any crime.
