It’s very hard to keep up with the additions to the FBI’s Capitol Violence page, but I feel like the addition of a guy with a full-on Lucky Charms beard should be noted.
Lucky Charms was proceeded by rough-and-tumble Macklemore.
As many nicknames as folks come up with I really don’t think #ConanORiot will ever be topped.

Capitol rioter Michael Shane Daughtry, a former police officer and a licensed firearms dealer, took a photo of the fencing on Jan. 6 and then bragged he “tore down the fence and stormed the Capitol."
Then he tried to blame Capitol Police and ANTIFA, feds say in sentencing memo.
"As a federally licensed firearms dealer, Daughtry’s desire to participate in a firing squad and his advertising the sale of “anti-liberal” bullets are an endorsement of violence against those whose political views differ from his own.”

The jury has reached a verdict in the Timothy Hale-Cusanelli case, per source. This will be the fifth jury verdict in a Jan. 6 case. DOJ is batting 1000 so far. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Judge Trevor McFadden said after the jury’s verdict that he found Hale-Cusanelli’s (clearly false) claim that he didn’t know Congress met at the Capitol "highly dubious,” per @FionaGlisson
Timothy Hale-Cusanelli "couldn't shut up to save his life, and this is where he is now because of that,” his lawyer told jurors. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
A problem with Hale-Cusanelli’s attempted ignorance defense is that he was in the Capitol visitor’s center surrounded by giant “HOUSE” and “SENATE” signs, and told his roommate he was outside the House of Representatives entrance. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
A white supremacist Jan. 6 defendant, a man who believes he’s a member of a superior race, just spent a lot of time insisting to a D.C. jury that he didn’t know that Congress met at the U.S. Capitol.
Thomas Hale-Cusanelli conceded that the claim “sounds idiotic, and it is.”
“I know that sounds idiotic, but I’m from New Jersey… I felt like an idiot, it sounds idiotic, and it is… I didn’t know the Capitol building was the same as the congressional building.”
Yet another Jan. 6 defendant whose defense boils down to telling the jury they are not very smart.
