The Capitol rioter who broke glass where woman was shot



Did they get him yet?

Does anyone have a picture of him they can post?

He was wearing what they said was a very expensive hat.

He broke out the glass in the door before they pushed her through and she was shot.

Thanks in advance.

should be jailed too. It was a raging mob of insurrectionists...all out of control, including the woman who got shot. And sorry to say, she has no one to blame but herself for getting shot.

These people were on drugs or were hallucinating about being honored by Trump in an imaginary awards ceremony. Video even showed the gun drawn an held in a firing position...long (minute?) before the women tried to jump through window.

One thing I noted was how quickly all the glass bangers and tough guys cleared out as soon as the women fell and blood started flowing. A few shots earlier in the afternoon, fired as warning would have gone a long way to shutting the whole insurrection down. My understanding is that the Capital and DC police were told not to use any force to stop anything.

There was a line drawn, and she crossed it.

Once they realized LEOs weren't playing, they ran.

thus incorrectly equating the Capitol Police to terrorists with guns. It was shocking to me.

Did anyone else hear that man yell that out on the video of the woman being fatally shot and bleeding?

My assumption was that he didn't see who shot her, but you could be correct.

A later video that I saw showed the Capitol cop within just a few feet of her, popping out from an alcove / hallway to her left, and firing his pistol. I would've thought anyone there would've seen him if they were looking down the hallway past the glass windows, but some of them had their backs turned too. The cop's gun was seen jutting out for several seconds before it was fired too. That woman was nuts!

The cop's gun can be seen starting around the 17-second mark, and then he comes out further and fires at her around the 30-second mark.

I assumed it was a distant gunshot when I saw the earliest videos that were released, but the cop was pretty close and it sure seems like she should've been aware of him.

He was couch surfing with friends in a lame ass fugitive way.

He is being stacked with charges, and I guarantee he'll be one to be hit with Federal Felony Murder rule charges.

He’s got the most boring voice in the world. Guess he’ll be spending his skateboard money on lawyers now.
