https://www.cbs42.com/washington/washington-dc/horned-shirtless-man-at-the-capitol-demonstration-identified/
(NEXSTAR) As a mob of President Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building Wednesday, one face stood out from the crowd in photographs: A tattooed, shirtless man donning horns and red, white and blue face paint inside the chambers.
The horned man in question is none other than 32-year-old Jake Angeli, a familiar face at pro-Trump rallies and a purported QAnon conspiracy theorist sometimes referred to as the QAnon Shaman, according to the Arizona Republics website.

(10,212 posts)So I'm leaning towards Viking. Or more likely he's made up his own cult from bits and pieces of other cultures.
I am fed up with white supremists appropriating Nordic cultural symbols, especially without knowing their roots.

The horned man in question is none other than 32-year-old Jake Angeli, a familiar face at pro-Trump rallies and a purported QAnon conspiracy theorist sometimes referred to as the QAnon Shaman, according to the Arizona Republics website.
In the past year, Angeli has been spotted often in costume at various demonstrations across the country, including a Washington D.C. protest after Joe Bidens presidential win in November.

(102,777 posts)not Vikings. The facial paint and the entire horned costume is very much in keeping with Plains Indians, including the Lakota Sioux wearing a buffalo headress.

(102,777 posts)AFAIK, there have never been bison nor buffalo in Scandinavia. Vikings had seers, not shaman.

Hekate
(91,371 posts)...so I decided maybe my second impression was right. He has a lot of tats but that one doesnt even pretend to be artistic, so whats that about.
What an ass, regardless.

(14,865 posts)I doubt Nancy would actually do that (despite it being hilarious), and it would surely take some time to have such a "trophy" made. Well, 3-D printing might be pretty quick? I still doubt it's real, though.

(5,587 posts)you had better do it right, because if you fail, they will come looking for you.
No, you won't get taken out the back and shot in the back of the head and dumped in an unmarked grave, but you still won't like what happens next.
And that goes for the actual rioters, those who instigated the whole thing, and those who blocked an appropriate response to the invasion of the Capitol building despite predictions of mass chaos.
The fallout from this will be felt far and wide.
