Arlington Proud Boy 'Milkshake' fought police at U.S. Capitol

ARLINGTON — A Snohomish County member of the violent hate group the Proud Boys played a front-line role in a mob of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol, as revealed by videos that have since been deleted from YouTube and the conservative social media site Parler.

Daniel Lyons Scott, 27, of the Arlington area, has not been charged with a crime for his actions in Washington, D.C., when hundreds of people tried to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s election victory.

But in a video taken in the hours before the deadly assault, Scott was scolded by fellow Proud Boys for shouting that the group ought to “take” the Capitol.

Based on the distinctive clothing he wore that day, he appears to have been one of the first to clash with U.S. Capitol police in a final push to breach barriers around 1:40 p.m. on Jan. 6, shoving officers in riot gear like an offensive lineman and thereby allowing a mob to charge onto the Capitol steps. Several other Proud Boys surged forward in the stream of people. They were the first to smash their way into the building, climbing through shattered windowpanes, according to federal court records. Three central people from Scott’s group have since been charged with felonies.
