Retired Lieutenant Colonel is identified as the MAGA rioter carrying zip ties who appeared to exit Nancy Pelosi's vandalized office - as his family say he became obsessed with Trump and believes in taking over the country

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Larry Rendall Brock Jr., 53, was among the violent mob of Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol Wednesday


The father-of-three, who now lives in Dallas, was pictured on the Senate floor
He wore a combat helmet, body armor and a vinyl tag with the Punisher skull on - a symbol adopted by white supremacists and QAnon believers

Two family members, who have not been named, told the New Yorker Brock called himself a patriot, had started making racist comments and that they believe he was influenced by white supremacy.

'[He started saying] weird rage talk, basically, saying he's willing to get in trouble to defend what he thinks is right, which is Trump being the President, I guess,' one of the family members said.

They added that he developed a 'weird sense of power' from his military career and that he 'doesn't understand the fallout and the people he's hurting.'

That said, they were surprised to see him with the zip ties: 'I can't imagine what he was doing there with zip ties, or what he thought he was going to accomplish.'
