Now this reportage has been briefly touched upon in other threads. Other threads that were focused on other topics. So this bloke is merely ancillary to them, but.......but deserves his own thread. As do the Sedition Hunters.
He is the Louisiana ex-soldier dishonorably discharged for shooting a handcuffed Iraqi prisoner in the back of the head. Served 3yrs in Army prison for it.
And then matriculated out of that to become a MAGA.
And to become a very much "WANTED" attacker that the FBI was seeking.
Well, Sedition Hunters found this J6 Jackass.
Here is this reportage:
From NBC: Online “sedition hunters” aided in identifying images of Richmond that were cited by the FBI. In its criminal complaint, the Justice Department said Richmond "wore a black helmet, goggles, shoulder pads, an orange two-way radio, and a Louisiana State Flag patch on his chest during the attack." The outfit led online sleuths to dub him "Buff Lightyear."
The man the FBI now identifies as the younger Richmond had been #182 on its Capitol Violence webpage, its "most wanted" list for Jan. 6 offenders. More than 1,200 people have been arrested in connection with Jan. 6 so far, and the Justice Department has secured about 900 convictions. Hundreds of additional Jan. 6 participants have been identified by online sleuths but not arrested*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Associated Press:
"During the Jan. 6 riot, body camera footage captured Richmond repeatedly assaulting police officers with a black baton in a tunnel on the Capitol’s Lower West Terrace, the FBI said. Police struggled for hours to stop the mob of Donald Trump supporters from entering the Capitol through the same tunnel entrance.
A witness helped the FBI identify Richmond as somebody who had traveled to Washington, D.C., with several other people to serve as a “security team” for the witness for rallies planned for Jan. 6, according to the agent’s affidavit."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, my beef with developments such as this is that this venue still has contributors who say the J6 attack was a normal tourist visit. That it didn't happen. That all of those who have been imprisoned.....should be realeased as they did nothing wrong.
But, todays reportage highlights that there WERE bad actors.....bad MAGA actors......who were major perpetrators of violence against the uniformed police who were just trying...per the oath they swore to.....just trying to protect our elected Representatives.
* More than three years later and some of these suspected criminals are still being pursued and when found, arrested, and arraigned. That is as it should be. All of us patriotic responsible Americans sincerely want those suspects---not yet arrested ----to be fretting every day that that big black SUV is gonna come rolling into their trailer park, or employer's lot......and make 'em do the televised 'perp walk'.
Now THAT......is making America great again.
IMHO
