WASHINGTON — Newly unearthed footage from Jan. 6, 2021, appears to show a rioter — a man identified in an NBC News story nearly two years ago — firing a gun into the air outside the Capitol during the attack.
Online sleuths who have aided in hundreds of Jan. 6 prosecutions say he is the same man they identified to the FBI who is currently individual No. 200 on the bureau’s Capitol Violence page, which he first appeared on three years ago. Videos and photographs from the Capitol on Jan. 6 showed him with what appears to be a gun in his waistband. As NBC News previously reported, that man, John Emanuel Banuelos, told Salt Lake City police that he was at the Capitol and had been captured on film with a gun. “I was in the D.C. riots,” he told the investigators, according to a police transcript. “I’m the one in the video with the gun right here.”
Banuelos has not been arrested or charged in connection with Jan. 6; the Salt Lake City police had arrested him in connection with the fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Christopher Thomas Senn in a park on July 4, 2021.

I seen the footage a few weeks ago. They said he shot twice and within a minute police started firing tear gas, rubber pellets….at the crowd below. They said it was a signal to the corrupt DC police. There was footage also showing one officer saying something like…this seems like a setup….why did they fire in the crowd? That was not protocol.
fib

It was a set up. Nancy knew the rioters would overwhelm the poorly trained capital police. What's amazing is that the government only overtly killed one person.
It was a signal....for the crisis actors to get to work. Green Helmet guy unavailable for comment.
They’ve had this video for 3 years and it just came out? Has anyone thought this may be a deep fake? A guy raises his hand, and AI puts a gun I it?
Absolutely could be a deep fake, it will get to the point where nobody will believe anything that goes against their pre-conceived notions, they’ll just dismiss it as a “deep fake”.
When Antifa saw Rittenhouse being chased by a crazed protestor, one of them fired a shot in the air to spook Rittenhouse.
Ray Epps butt buddy.
Probably the same Fed who planted the pipe bombs.
I agree; when I watched the footage I was no recoil at all from the pistol. I thought it might have been a starter’s pistol. Then he climbed back down and took off.
It really looked like it was a programmed event.

Well unless it’s a Alec Baldwin movie. Then they just use live rounds.
They arrest people in DC for merely possessing a firearm. Why was this guy not identified and arrested? Did no one review the video?
Do we have ourselves yet another Ray Epps?
It’s NBC, they continently left out the name of the Capitol Officer that killed Babbit.

Correct.
Head Shake.
NBC labeled the guy who fired the two shots as a Trump supporter.
I am not sure of his status; more like a paid informer or agent provocateur.
Also, the policeman who pushed the protester off the two-story ledge, causing him to break an ankle, should have been charged with attempted murder. After the shots were fired, the resulting turmoil resembled a police riot. Police were shooting protesters with rubber bullets, some in the face.
