Pardoned Capitol Rioter Who Vowed to 'Bring Violence' Arrested Again [View all]

Yet another pardoned Jan. 6 rioter has been arrested—the latest for allegedly threatening a man with a gun in a church parking lot.

Ryan Nichols, 36, a former Marine who bragged on social media that he was going to “bring violence” to the U.S. Capitol in 2021, has been arrested in Texas on a deadly conduct charge.

Harrison County Sheriff B.J. Fletcher told a local news station in East Texas this week that Nichols had followed a man out of church to the parking lot, where he proceeded to lift his shirt and flash a gun.

“At one point, the guy had finished putting his kid in the backseat...Ryan Nichols took a step back, apparently, pulled his shirt up and... displayed his weapon and then grabbed his weapon.”

That's okay Trump has a $1.7 billion dollar slush fund he can get some of.
