Florida Man / Proud Boy #GooglesMan, aka Zachary Johnson, played a staring role at the end of the Jan. 6 Committee’s hearing today. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
Johnson, a 33-year-old from St. Petersburg, Florida, was arrested in Jan. 2022. A federal grand jury indictment alleged that Johnson possessed both a sledge hammer and pepper spray, which he used to aid and abet an attack on officers. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

"I had an encounter with a young man wearing a 'Coon-skin hat', who was very close to me in the crowd. He stated to me it was a good day to 'kill someone.'"

“But I’d be curious how many people were prosecuted for being an addict in possession of a firearm, and I’ll bet it’s less than 10 in the last 12 months…”
