An ex-Marine who spent time in jail for participating in the far-right white nationalist “Unite the Right” rally has been arrested in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Tyler Bradley Dykes was arrested Monday after pleading guilty earlier this year to carrying a flaming tiki torch at the 2017 rally with the intent to intimidate and serving several months in prison, according to Virginia court records.

On Jan. 6, photo and video evidence showed Dykes wearing a gray puffer jacket, a gray gaitor and a tan Adidas baseball hat; the rioter was referred to by online sleuths as “#graygoose” before being identified, according to an FBI affidavit.

They are really getting efficient at tracking down enemies of the state.

“...carrying a flaming tiki torch at the 2017 rally with the intent to intimidate...”


I realize we’ve been living in Clown World for some time now, but who is intimidated by a tiki torch?

The intent to intimidate, what garbage.

In that case, arrest all groups of 5 or more black males standing around.

strange how they never found the DC pipe bomber, the Supreme Court leaker, or the White House cocaine user.

Especially since Spencer and Kessler were obvious plants.

Frightening, but burning businesses, courthouses, and police cars are protected by the 1st amendment for sure.

Seems to based on a Supreme court ruling that burning a cross is intimidation and a violation of the first amendment. The DA believes he can expand that to tiki torchs.

By that logic any protest is intimidation.

Broke tradition and read the article. I did not read what the defendant was actually caught doing, rather an anonymous tipster said the defendant bragged of doing things. Doesn’t sound like a crime was actually observed.

Second, the article mixes an earlier conviction with a subsequent accusation. Ostensibly to build a dramatic ‘white nationalist’ clickbait theme. At a minimum it reeks of subjectivity by the writer (shocking, I know).

Third, obviously not an attorney but question if the defendant should sue The Hill for libel.

Lastly… When anyone considered a Caucasian disagrees with the Marxist Left is immediately labeled a white nationalist, supremacist, racist, etc. - it has become a meaningless and tired Marxist tactic.

These agents are Nazi storm troopers, jack-booted thugs. Same mindset as those lovable goose-steppers of old.

If you are a common sense conservative in commie Joe’s America you are fair game for anything they want to do to you.
