When Thomas Fee got a text on Jan. 6 from his girlfriend’s brother asking if he was in Washington, he responded with a selfie inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda as dozens of others who had just stormed the building waved flags behind him, federal officials said.
In one message, Fee wrote he was “at the tip of the spear,” according to a criminal complaint filed Saturday.

Fee, a recently retired New York firefighter with a history of racist complaints, surrendered in Queens on Tuesday morning, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District told the New York Post.

I used to have so much respect for firefighters, I believed they were the heroes in every community. But this terrorist insurrection, and so many firefighters gleefully participating, has caused me to really question that presumption.
At anyplace in the world..unasked, unlawful entry is against the law.
Now lets talk about theft. And after that how we are going to keep
these righty handjobs....incarcerated....
...you can never have too many selfie's...
