A horned Arizona QAnon supporter who stood at the Senate dais moments after Vice President Mike Pence delivered his rebuke to Donald Trump and an insurrectionist who put his feet on Pelosi's desk and 'scratched his balls' in her office were among the violent mob of Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol Wednesday - sending the seat of the federal government into lockdown and temporarily halting the certification of Joe Biden's victory in its tracks.
The heavily-tattooed Trump supporter sporting horns, a fur hat and face paint, who has become a fixture at recent right-wing rallies while decked out in his signature attire, has been identified as 32-year-old Jake Angeli - the man often dubbed the QAnon Shaman.
Angeli was at the front of a group of agitators who broke into the Capitol and faced off with DC police who desperately tried in vain to protect the establishment.
He then made his way into the Senate chamber where he was seen shouting and posing for photos on the dais.
Meanwhile, a 60-year-old Arkansas man entered House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, where he boasted that he 'wrote her a nasty note, put my feet up on her desk and scratched my balls.'
Richard 'Bigo' Barnett later - who claims he will run for Arkansas governor in 2022 - told the New York Times he 'fell' into her office after he was pictured making himself comfortable in Pelosi's chair, as he showed off a personalized envelope he stole as a souvenir.
Other key figures in the riot, who are yet to be identified, include a looter in a bobble hat who smiled for a photo as he made off with Nancy Pelosi's lectern.

What is the ID card on the individual on the right side of the pic up front?(press pass? IDK just guessing). Is this a staged photo shoot? The dick in the middle has been identified in AZ and Penn as a BLM activist with the same tats and now in DC.
We are being played....
So was storming the Capitol a good thing for which Trump supporters should take credit, or a bad thing we should blame on others?
Personally, I see it as romaticized stupidity.
There are multiple pics of Angeli attending protests supporting Climate change and the green new deal. He’s not a Trump supporter. He’s an infiltrator.
It is what it is. When you repeatedly poke the bear, it eventually eats the poker alive.
It was a mostly peaceful protest....well aside from the unarmed woman murdered by capital police.
He must have infiltrated. He’s just as enthusiastic about the Green New Deal and climate change. At an Arizona Sept 2019 protest.
The guy has a boy love tattoo on his chest. This is not a Trump supporter.
Same guy has a boy love tat on his chest
So you're saying you'd like to see another David Dorn - only this time in the form of a Capitol cop rather than a retired St. Louis police Captain - bleeding to death outside of Pelosi's office? Wow! You are one sick puppy.
"Perhaps you’d like to begin a Kickstarter campaign to replace Pelosi’s lectern."
No, I'd like to not see Freepers like you giving the rest of us a bad name through your incredible hypocrisy. If a leftist broke into the Oval Office and took selfies and stole "souvenirs," you would be screaming for blood. The fact that you applaud Breaking & Entering plus theft, but ONLY if it's done against a Leftist rather than against a Conservative, makes FR as a whole look bad.
We believe in taking responsibility for our actions Why would anyone want to take responsibility for something they did not do? Why after all the bs that has gone on, would we not be suspicious about how things went down. Look at the elections? After countless videos, we know this was Antifa. I expected this on Election Day tho.
They do
I thought his tattoo on his hand was the hammer and sickle
ANTIFA bump for later...
Thanks, you kept him off Santa's naughty list.
Wrong
Yes, perhaps we are being played.
OTOH, there are videos from last May of this same guy praising Trump. So which is correct? Or is neither correct? Or are BOTH answers correct, depending on *when* you ask the question?
From decades of sidewalk activism, I've learned this lesson:
There are a lot of flaky people out there who are extremely difficult to pigeon-hole politically.
I've known people who seem like hardcore conservatives when the Dems control the White House, but then flip 180 degrees to parrot leftwing rhetoric when the GOP is in the WH. And not just flip once, but flip back again every time the parties change. With this category of person, it seems to be a factor of, "Whoever is running the Executive Branch at any given moment is the leader of a global conspiracy, so I must stand with the other side and say the same things they are saying".
Other people are just media hogs with no core beliefs who will say whatever gets the spotlight shown on them. This horned guy, for instance .... how many others like him tonight are saying: "Wow! Look at him! World famous, and who cares what the reason is, because his photo is everywhere. I could be him! How did he get so lucky? I've got to brainstorm ways that I can be just as famous and still come out alive and not sent to SingSing either".
Other people just have something very wrong with their neural networks - they're emotionally and/or mentally unstable. You can't predict which way they'll swing from one day to the next. They do have strong beliefs at any one moment; they're not lying to you about that. But come back again next year and find a whole new set of core beliefs.
So I'm withholding judgment on whether this flake is really a BLM plant. At the moment I'm 50-50 on it.
No kidding? Wow, either a leftwing plant, or one seriously messed-up nutcase.
Wonder if they were Antifa coaxing people.

Huh?? You've been on FR over 10 years and you don't recognize the deep differences you see here as being the norm rather than the exception?
