Trump Fur-Ever: Costumed Capitol Rioter Is Son of Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge

Source: Gothamist.com

The politically-connected son of Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge was among the band of Trump- supporting marauders who ransacked the U.S. capitol building on Wednesday.
Dressed in fur pelts and a bullet proof vest, Aaron Mostofsky joined an early wave of rioters who swarmed the halls of Congress, forcing lawmakers to evacuate before certifying Joe Biden’s election victory.

I hope they are significant. These people seem to have time on their hands, and fining them is likely insufficient as a deterrent. It's a slap on the wrist. Fines should be appropriate to assets or income level.

And really, do they think their actions are satire? Look at the attire.

...for any reason except Halloween, or if you are in an acting troupe.

I thought this was going to be the guy with all the tattoos and the horned hat. Didn’t realize there were 2 doofuses (doofae?) wearing pelts. Morans.

They have much better outfits - but it looks like that is what he was going for.

The other dude is a big Q anon dude who goes by 'Q Shaman'. Have seen his pic at Q Anon events in AZ. He is full whacked out on QAnon

I discovered him via QAnonymous - which is a great podcast that debunks (and tries to understand) and other conspiracy theories. The podcast: https://www.qanonanonymous.com/

Q Shaman videos from earlier this year:

Notice the very end of the clip how the police are calmly interacting with these rioters.

Something about him. I bet if any of these "fuckers of the insurrection" eventually end up being normal, it will be this guy.

Nope.

He doesn’t fit the profile of what was going on there.

Very strange. And I’m guessing he got the police vest via connections thru his Dad the judge/NY law enforcement.

Does wearing a police vest constitute impersonating a police officer? What if someone thought he could help them as an officer would. Then again, with his facial expressions and demeanor, he was probably not going to be mistaken for a cop.

Is it meant to imply this is a game?

I guess they will find out.
