In the Proud Boys trial today you'll hear about ex-Marine Ronald Loehrke, a 'tool' of the Proud Boys - Nordean recruited him, wanted him "on the front lines". Loehrke is so central to the attack that he was the first to get a 'reel'. You can watch. 1/
Loehrke helped run the breach on the W. Plaza, then walked around the Capitol to breach on the East. His actions set off a massive manhunt by #SeditionHunters, though in the end he was there in Nordean's phone - see his 'arrest thread' from Dec. 2021. 2/
The night that Jan 6 was greenlit the Proud Boys leaders were awake & planning. 1:42 AM Dec. 19, Trump sent his "will be wild" Tweet. 3:55 AM Joe Biggs says they need better PBs: "We recruit losers who wanna drink. Let's get radical and get real men." Loehrke was the upgrade. 3/ 
Catching up on the OKs trial - it appears some context is being left out of Jason Dolan's testimony. He says he just "starts walking" to the Capitol, but omits that he was escorting a "stack" of VIP Stop the Steal operatives. Here's his "walk". 1/
That compilation of Jason Dolan's walk to the Capitol is from a year ago, October 2021. Video by @StevieG54099097. Many #SeditionHunters contributed to finding footage, but especially @bennybryant17. 2/
Failed GA Congressional candidate Kandiss Taylor plays the pious Christian but her pinned Tweet is with her new Proud Boy buddy ex-Marine Ronald Loehrke #MaroonPb, who helped run the breaches on Jan 6 in the US Capitol attack, guided his buddy #ZZTopZPB to pepper-spray police. 1/
See thread for video of Kandiss Taylor's buddy Loehrke's during the Capitol attack & the story of the manhunt that helped find him. He was so important, he was the first to get a "reel" by #SeditionHunters showing his actions. Video by @StevieG54099097. 2/
@nine_niall has been tracking the strange evolution of Taylor's relationship with Proud Boy Loehrke, who abruptly moved to Georgia after the Capitol attack, and got a salary from her as 'security' before his arrest. 3/
#SeditionHunters - a long-awaited Jan 6 milestone: the Proud Boys, engines of the Capitol attack, now have seditious conspiracy charges too. Over 200 Proud Boys marched from the Wash. Monument, rushed the first police lines, were there at every breach. 1/

The Proud Boys were so integral to the Capitol attack that they were our first "reels". Here's leader Joe Biggs, former US Army, former media (reporter for InfoWars), pal of major US politicians - he links all the worlds. Full reel at link. 2/

One year ago, today, the Proud Boys marched in D.C. and attacked our Capitol.
They still think they have the numbers.
They don't.
They think they are stronger.
They aren't.
They think they are smarter.
Not a fucking chance.

They said they would be in record numbers.
They said they would try to blend in.
They didn't lie.
I made a list of 100 Proud Boys and associates from Eddie Block's video.
Some got popped by the feds.
A lot haven't.
With the civil suit D.C. has brought...

identifying them takes on even more importance.
So, starting from my original 100, I'm going to start dropping the names we figured out.
As a community.
From #SeditionHunters to #Antifascists and everyone in between.
How many Proud Boys can we name in DC on J6?

#SeditionHunters - "arrest Friday" is back! Not just in numbers but in importance: the first arrest in awhile of a perp with an "organizational" role on Jan 6. But first, the colorful & violent #PinstripeBoilersuit, FBI #37 and #94, Josiah Kenyon of NV..1/
#PinstripeBoilersuit was ID'd within days of the Capitol attack: a witness told FBI they'd met him on the Washington Metro, gave his motel, ID'd from motel records. Arrests often lag IDs by many months, presumably to not overload the court system. 2/

Old-fashioned video watching thread: Starts on west walkway just after initial barrier breach, behind #ColSandersPB (0:00). 3:20 #InfoWarsPB. 3:24 someone with #greentapegroup #seditioncoms. 3:33 #GreyStripeGaiterPB
3:39 #fashproshop. 6:06 #EddieBlock. 6:33 no idea what is up with the orange dunce hat stick. 6:35 this guy with the #seditionkeffiyeh looks familiar but no idea why.
6:42 green armband #greentapegroup? 7:13 #KnitFlagScarfPB possibly talking to a buddy (who?). 7:45 here is the face of the guy with the orange dunce cap on a stick. 9:23 #KnitFlagScarfPB's possible buddy has black "army" hoodie and "we the people" red hat.
#SeditionHunters - the FBI prosecution of assault on media has reached one of the nastiest: Alan Byerly of PA aka #GreyBeanieMeanie, who viciously attacked AP photographer John Minchillo. He's the one in the grey beanie...PA journalists, do your thing! 1/

His PA affiliation wasn't hard to find; his beanie says "Kutztown". The attack was shocking for his visible rage, also Minchillo was pushed over a wall & could have been seriously hurt. (Btw don't credit those who helped Minchillo; they may be org. folks trying to de-escalate) 2/
The video crucial to Byerly's arrest was shot by his AP colleague Julio Cortez (julythephotoguy) from helmet-mounted cam. So reporting itself defends reporters! As in the #MediaSmash, the mob called any journalist "CNN".. 3/
#SeditionHunters - gofers like #LemonyKickit can be more important than VIPs for understanding the Capitol attack! He shows the planning & coordination. Watch him run all over the grounds live-streaming & following orders in new reel by @StevieG54099097 1/
#LemonyKickit’s zig-zag path also shows the Capitol attack did not go as fast as planned. During the drawn-out W. Plaza fight, he & pal #LemonZest spend an hour taking phone calls & reversing direction, waiting to move East. 2/
At 1:20 PM #LemonyKickit's part of a charge East that we call “Exodus 0.5": flag wavers signal & people flood onto the NW lawn (L). But the rush is called off, maybe because the Plaza fight was slow. Lemony takes a call; everyone backtracks; by 1:26 the lawn is clear again (R) 3/
HASHTAG PREVIEW: #EastSideStripes #GnarleyParley #WoodlandNorris #KleenKutKen
#SeditionHunters, this'll be complicated. These 4 guys conducted a meeting with #MaroonPB on the East Side of the Capitol, in front of cops. Let's call the meeting #J6EastMeet to keep it simple. 1/

NEW HASHTAG: #KleenKutKen
Our first #J6EastMeet guy. Dark business casual. Lanyard. Comms? Definitely a phone in #KleenKutKen's hand, but maybe the antenna belongs to #GnarleyParley. @capitolhunters @TwittsnTweets @SeditionHunters 2/

A little extra background on #KleenKutKen: he and #WoodlandNorris are seen earlier at barricades near #ZZTopPB--he bumps one as he's stacking barricades. (If someone has photos/footage, please add and hashtag.) #SeditionHunters @capitolhunters @TwittsnTweets 3/
#SeditionHunters - the Capitol attack has bursts of organized action, & then times when the plan goes wrong. Watch this synchronized reel of its first 23 minutes. In just 6 astonishing minutes, racing invaders take the Lower W. Plaza and Media Tower 1/
This amazing compilation as usual by @StevieG54099097 with timing by the #RealTimeLords.
The rush up the Penn. Walkway began at 12:53. Ten minutes later the Proud Boys are confidently strolling the front lines (note #Rufio), tho some Capitol Police in riot gear have arrived 2/

At 1:05 PM, the Joint Session to certify the electoral votes begins. At just that moment, a man on the tower begins reading a prepared speech justifying insurrection. You can read the full transcript by @LayanDoesDance here: 3/ docs.google.com/document/d/1tM…
Some new faces. Cabby hat with flaps is in here and signals someone. #SeditionHunters
None of these have hashtags, as far as I know. The bald guy have very distinctive scars on his head.
