Huntington Beach far-right activist contrite after fiery video about Capitol attack goes viral
'I'm scared. I fear for my life,' the 32-year-old hair salon owner says in an interview

“I just got back from storming the Capitol,” said Dreww, who appeared energized and jittery in the video. “It was successful. For all you bitches on Facebook going crazy talking about it was Antifa, and saying it wasn’t us, it was us. We proudly took back our Capitol. They brought the National Guard out for us. We had the (expletive) cops running from us. Not because they are bitches but because they are smart. We did it. God it’s so exhilarating!”

By Friday, Jan. 8, after the video made the rounds on social media, Dreww — who has his own podcast and is known nationally among the far-right, pro-Trump crowd — was contrite and fearful.

Death threats from right and left
In a phone interview as he made the nearly 2,700-mile drive from Washington to Huntington Beach, Dreww said he has received death threats from both Trump supporters and detractors. He worries about being arrested and believes his successful beauty salon business is doomed.

“I’m scared,” he said, choking back tears. “I fear for my life.”

Samantha Shero, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s Field Office in Washington, D.C., said Friday she couldn’t comment or confirm whether Dreww is under investigation.

1. Actions have consequences

[sanatanadharma]

42. Actions have consequences is fascinatingly true

Why so many people are surprised by this is a conundrum.
I guess 'wants' trump 'wisdom'.

No one acts (karma=action) without expectation of result.
We act because we have desire and think the action will bring desired results.

The wise know that action also brings unforeseen results.
The fool suffers due to the ignorance of limited vision.

The inner-child cries, "I did not do that" once caught in web of karmic comeuppance.

[SheltieLover]

44. Very true!

[MagickMuffin]

52. Plus they act on their emotions

which are animalistic in nature. And they have no critical or common sense skills.

And looking at trumps base they are nothing but clownish buffoons.

[dweller]

2. Hahahahahaha

Dr eww .... fucked up


✌🏻

[hatrack]

3. He Fucked Around, He Found Out

Whine and quiver, little sad man.

[roscoeroscoe]

4. Ride the tiger, fool

No sympathy here

[CurtEastPoint]

5. I'm making an assumption here that he is gay and that shit is NOT welcome in our 'club.'

Fuck off and yes, I hope your successful beauty salon business is doomed.

[UpInArms]

6. Play stupid games

Win stupid prizes

[ornotna]

7. With a little bit of luck

You can rent a booth in someone's salon in the future.

Tots and pears

[Traildogbob]

29. Lots of red neck barber shops here in WNC.

Not Salons, Barbershops, with spittoons for backer juice. They proudly fly Trump flags and posters of Hillary for Prison. Only problem, they fucking hate gays, and I will spare you all the names they use for gays. So that fool would not even be allowed to trim up all the trumpanzee beards.
Fear for his life, fuck him, so were all the congress members, and the cop with his head bashed in with a fire extinguisher.
Good luck in prison little bitch, you will be a fun play thing,

[OldBaldy1701E]

33. You have brought back memories

What was it that Jerry Clower said about the barber? "He cut as long as the hair lasted." Ours had a real wooden floor and brass rails along the wall. Three chairs... one of them was the 'kids' chair, which I loved to sit in because it reclined a bit. A little AM radio playing whatever country station they could dial in. And, the smell of cigars and cigarettes because they ALL smoked.

[Traildogbob]

37. They still exist

Three chairs at mine, my barber is liberal, and we whisper. The other 3 are not hard core, but lean 45 degrees right.
$13 bucks for a cut, lots of local gossip but they know my stance.
Had to bite my to tongue a lot.
In February, a trumper can in while I was being cut, laughing and shouting “Anybody dead yet from this hoax flu”. I politely mentioned I taught earth science at college for 30 years, the barbers know that, I started listing the now lost species of plants and animals from our planet, even here in WNC from a small pathogen. He stopped talking.
But there are many hard core crew cut type spittoons half full wooden floor types that would not even cut that pricks hair much less hire him as a gay, regardless of his Trump worship.
He would get death threats there.

[OldBaldy1701E]

45. Oh I know

The one I mention still looks the same, although the two guys working it now are much younger than the ones that were there when I was a kid. (MUCH younger. I bet their dads were not even born when I was a kid/teen getting a trim there.) As far as I know, the brass railings are still there and so is the spittoon. Hell, I bet they still smoke in the room! My hometown was a mix-mash of very conservative and liberal types, but they were all decent enough people. They debated, they didn't threaten and posture and d**k wave. Sadly, that art is all but gone by the wayside now. (Here being a more than notable exception.)

BTW, I am a Dismal Swamp rat/Banker who lived most of his early adult life in Wake Co., so we have the state pretty much covered! Lived outside of Bakersville for a while too.

[struggle4progress]

8. "Sure, I was part of mob that smashed into the Capitol, threatening to hang Pence

and ready to kill Pelosi, but now everybody is being mean to me!"

[Siwsan]

9. He's known as the 'Adorable Deplorable'??

Apparently I have a whole different set of standards. His ugliness radiates from the inside, out.

[RAB910]

10. If you read the article he claims he "didn't go there for Donald Trump"

This asshole lies as much as the treasonous cult leader he worships

[Buns_of_Fire]

11. Dreww just fukked himselff with this caperr. nt

[JDC]

19. Clever

[BrightKnight]

12. Now he can live, eat, and sleep in a government building every day. Soooo exciting...

He might not want to chase and intermediate the "smart" prison guards at Club Fed.

[alphafemale]

14. He looks both way older and way younger than 32

odd

[theneworiginal]

15. "You think if we can get into this Capitol, imagine what we could do to our local capitol,"

Uh...is anybody listening?

[dalton99a]

16. He needs to be arrested.

[Aristus]

17. Watch out.

“I fear for my life” is what these jizz-brains say right before they start shooting everything in sight...

[BlueStater]

18. Seems like some of them really were caught up in the moment.

The fact that he proudly admitted to his actions online tells me the consequences for what he was doing never once crossed his mind.

Now with potential jail time awaiting him, his business being ruined, and his life being destroyed in general, the harsh reality has finally sunk in.

Hope whatever the hell you were trying to accomplish was worth it, moron.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Fears For His Life?

If he keeps looking for this sort of trouble, his fear may be justified.
Don't want none, don't start none!
A lesson he apparently doesn't understand.

[Binkie The Clown]

21. "I want to start a war, but please don't hurt me." Idiots. nt

[Generic Brad]

22. Look! An Ashamed Boy!!

Not so proud now, are you? Identified terrorist.

[matt819]

23. So much for their blue line flags

They despise the cops because they are anarchists and terrorists. Except, of course, when the cops kill black people.

[GrapesOfWrath]

24. Hope you lose everything

creep, your freedom, your livelihood. Good, be afraid; you should be!

[PatrickforO]

25. Oh, gee, the poor little snowflake.

Well, Kristopher, you have ruined your life, haven't you? No one will ever forget what you have done, because the internet is forever, right?

But no worries! The FBI will be visiting soon, and charges are pending. You will soon be nice and safe in a cozy federal prison cell.

[Gore1FL]

26. Good news for him. He won't need a successful business for the next decade. nt

[snort]

27. A face made for baseball

bats.

[ashredux]

28. This ain't no party, This ain't no disco, The Feds ain't fooling around...

They thought their MAGA Hat was a GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card...

[jmbar2]

30. please ask him...

What is the best shade of eyeshadow to wear to an insurrection?

[George II]

31. They're always "contrite" after being exposed.

[mgardener]

32. So....

He could dish it out, but he can't take it???
I really don't care, do you? * Melania Trump.

And I bet he did not wear a mask the whole time so he might have other things to worry about in about 7-10 days...

[Lucky Luciano]

34. Treason has the death penalty. Just saying.

[MontanaMama]

35. Oh Drew...

You bought the fucking ticket...now you take the fucking ride. Enjoy!

[LiberalArkie]

36. A real snowflake.

At least when us lefties throw a protest or demonstration we fully expect to be beaten and thrown in jail. He can not process the thought that he might be in jail. The only thing I can think of is "snowflake protestor" only there to take selfies while in proximity of terrorists.

[Initech]

38. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[judesedit]

39. They talk big, but without their guns and goons they're a bunch of pussies

Hope he gets time.

[niyad]

40. He's scared?? Good. I want him to be as scared as the police who were outnumbered. I want him

to be as scared as the people he and his fellow insurrectionists were hunting. I want him as scared as he can possibly be, the f'n monster. And for a looooooong, loooong time.May he never know a moment's peace. The same goes for
A
L
L who planned, and executed, and participated in, and enabled, that coup.

[BobTheSubgenius]

41. Being afraid isn't "contrite."

The only reason he regrets his actions is blowback. F him. Maybe he can find a priest to forgive him - he'll get not a hint of forgiveness here.

And, completely off point...I find it mildly ironic that, if they had just practised rudimentary COVID precautions, no one that didn't want to be ID'ed wouldn't be.

Some really sound planning and execution all round.

[ellie]

43. Bwahahahahaha

I hope gets arrested and charged with sedition. Fuck him.

[AntiFascist]

46. This attitude is exactly what is splitting the Republican party...

not only is Trump history, but the Republicans may be as well!

[gldstwmn]

47. What's the name of this

fuck wit's beauty salon?
On edit it's HairbyKristopherDreww, his specialty is dreads.

[roamer65]

48. To this asshole...the legal process played out and you lost...own up it and behave as an adult.

Guess you didn’t follow that advice, so you now pay the consequences.

[Demovictory9]

49. He is very recognizable in the inside capitol.vids shown today

He actually turns and looks directly into camera

[roamer65]

50. He will be charged and convicted.

[BlueIdaho]

51. This guy is mental.

Hope he loses his business.
