1. Again, I am left wondering if this guy had a past criminal record.

I've read a lot of stories about the J6 traitors, but they never delve into the past of these fools.

Are these (previously) worthy citizens who were overcome with the sudden urge to attack cops and invade the Capitol, or are these malignant troublemakers with criminal records? Are they misguided fools who think they are protecting America, or are they louts who abuse their families and enjoy bullying and bar fights?

I also wonder how many of them were drunk on J6? Same for the trump rally-goers. Reporters interview these MAGAs at every one of the Trump rallies. Do they detect alcohol or other signs of impairment? They never mention it.
