We didn't wear body armor. It was just cutting boards from Dollar Tree stuffed in our jackets!

Indicted Proud Boy AJ Fischer, identified as the ‘RayBan Terrorist’ in footage, claims they were there to “keep people safe,” and what they were wearing wasn’t body armor but cooking cutting boards from Dollar Tree stuffed in their jackets to keep from getting stabbed by Antifa.

They can't make up their minds whether they want to portray themselves as revolutionary patriots or pitiful cosplaying incels.

They know Jacob Chansley, who portrayed himself as a revolutionary patriot, got 41 months in the stockade and he’ll never vote or have a gun for the rest of his life. So…incel it is.

Then he'll be a SAD Boy instead.

Traitor. Scum like this makes me punk and sick to my stomach, claiming that they are for this Country.

Now that they're facing time in prison, they're finding out that they aren't so brave, really, and are making lame excuses for themselves.

Proud Boys are not going to enjoy prison life, I'm sure. Not one bit. Now they'll be incels for real, or is that in-cells?

I'm an Air Force veteran, too, but I'm actually following the law and the Constitution. They are not. The Oath Keepers, too, are not keeping their oaths. I am, though. Lock 'em all up!

I wonder why their hero didn't know about the overwhelming presence of Antifa at the Capitol that day when all the proud boyz just spontaneously decided to take a tour of the Capitol (and wipe their shit on the wall). Lucky the Secret Service was able to bat his tiny hands away and prevent the former guy from being stabbed because he didn't have his Dollar Tree cutting boards.

Prompts the question of whether Boy AJ forgot the lies he and his hero have told, or if they're counting on us forgetting all the lies.

Antifa is mostly in their minds.

So by that logic they should have removed their homemade body armor and taken their chances with the cops. Except no, they hate them too because they were trying to protect the US Capitol and stop them from their objective.
