A man accused of participating in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S Capitol texted his brother that he was among the “ANTIFA Trump supporters” at the riot, and had fought with police officers, according to an FBI warrant unsealed Tuesday. Willam Robert Norwood—who faces charges of disorderly conduct, attempting to disrupt government proceedings, and stealing government property—told a group chat that he “fought 4 cops,” who “were ordered to allow Antifa to get away with anything,” according to screenshots attached in the affidavit. “I was there. I took his suit,” Norwood wrote, before sending the chat a selfie in which he appeared to wear a Capitol Police vest. His brother then responded, “What the actual fuck is wrong with you?” To which Norwood responded, according to the affidavit: “I fought 4 cops…The cops who acted shitty got exactly what they deserved . . . The ones who were cool, got help.” Norwood’s brother told a friend about the texts, according to the warrant; that friend subsequently tipped off the FBI.

1. I can't even follow this

So did the cops say ok until they realized he was a false flag Antifa and that was when he took his "heroic" action? Or did they try to stop him because they didn't give a crap about his affiliation only that he was trespassing and threatening Congress?

2. Don't ever try to make sense of a MAGAt's madness

Dude's flying high on his own supply. And for every impulsive, stupid and violent thing he does, he has to concoct some nonsensical backstory to justify it and make himself the hero.

Because his emotional development peaked when he was six.

5. I think his brother summed the MAGATs up best: "What the actual fuck is wrong with you?"

3. Hope Norwood enjoys his upcoming stay at the Crossbar Hotel

What a colossal asshole. Bad enough he committed violent and insurrectionist act but to present himself as Antifa shows what a total lowlife and shitbag he and his co-conspirators are in this Trump treason. These cretins are lower life forms than pond scum.

4. I think that the quality of seditionist has gone way down.

In the past, anarchist and traitors would never admit their dirty dealings without torture. What has happened to Americans?
