The Suicide of a January 6 Defendant: ‘They Broke Him’

Matthew Perna was failed by the country he loved.

atthew Perna did nothing wrong on January 6, 2021.

The Pennsylvania man walked through an open door on the Senate side of the building shortly before 3 p.m. that afternoon. Capitol police, shown in surveillance video, stood by as hundreds of Americans entered the Capitol. Wearing a “Make America Great Again” sweatshirt, Perna, 37, left after about 20 minutes.

Less than two weeks later, Perna was ensnared in what the former top U.S. prosecutor called a “shock and awe” campaign to round up Trump supporters and deter them from demonstrating at Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20, 2021. After he discovered his image on the FBI’s most wanted list for January 6, Perna immediately contacted his local FBI office and voluntarily submitted to questioning; on January 18, six FBI agents arrested Perna at his home.

His life from that point turned into a nightmare. Perna was indicted by a grand jury in February 2021 on four counts including obstruction of an official proceeding and trespassing misdemeanors. Despite his nonviolent participation in the events of that day—he did not assault anyone, carry a weapon, or vandalize property—Biden’s Justice Department and local news media nonetheless made his life pure hell.

Whenever his hometown paper, the Sharon Herald, published an article on its social media account about Perna, the majority of replies were “horrible and brutal,” his aunt, Geri Perna, told me on the phone Sunday. After more than a year of legal and public torture, Perna saw no way out.

On Friday night, Matthew Perna hung himself in his garage.

A whole lot of people did nothing wrong on January 6, 2021.

But they are sitting in a dog cage, A/K/A, jail cell with untold mental, if not physical tortures being inflicted upon them.

Because of acts by traitors to the Constitution such as Vice President Mike, Judas Iscariot, Pence. The Republican Party. And the Democrat Party.

But as the saying goes: Those who control the guns, in this case, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Control the Laws. And as the French say: There is the Law. Then there is justice. But the people who are being held in the Washington, D.C. jail will never receive justice. When and if released, they will be shells of human beings. They will be broken people. Their physical health will be broken. Their mental health will be broken. Their spirit will be broken. And the members on Free Republic will still adore, worship, and Deify the FBI.
