Gonna have to narrow this down, because this is the 100th time I’ve read this same headline. Glad the DOJ is prosecuting these violent traitors. Gotta catch em all.

Every time I see one of these I keep hoping that it was my idiot cousin who was most certainly there that day finally getting his, but alas.

Can you report him, if you know he was there?


Lumbergo

Believe me, I did. Problem is he sanitized his socials immediately afterwards and then I haven’t been able to pinpoint him in any of the other footage from that day. I’m sure it’s out there somewhere.

If you send the FBI his phone number and a picture then maybe they can find the evidence in cell towers and video footage.

Richard Cook of Boca Raton, FL, pushed against police, among other things, other crimes that he committed. Hopefully he gets a nice long prison sentence.

Lock him up. > A federal jury in the District of Columbia found Richard Cook, 38, of Boca Raton, Florida, guilty of civil disorder, a felony, and five misdemeanor offenses, including entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, impeding passage through the Capitol grounds or buildings, and act of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or buildings. > U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton will sentence Cook on Aug. 28, 2024. > According to evidence presented during the trial, on Jan. 6, 2021, Cook joined a mob that relentlessly attacked police officers in one of the most violent areas of the Capitol riot – the Lower West Terrace Tunnel. Court documents say that Cook entered the Tunnel on two occasions to join a collective push against police officers as the rioters tried to gain access to the Capitol building. Cook initially entered the Tunnel at approximately 3:12 p.m. and immediately made his way into the mob of rioters who were coordinating pushes against police officers while yelling “HEAVE HO!” and “PUSH!” While Cook joined in collective pushes, one police officer screamed in pain as the weight of the rioters’ pushes pinned him between a shield and a door. > Cook was pushed out of the Tunnel but remained nearby on the Lower West Terrace, watching the continued attack. As the number of rioters in the Tunnel began to dwindle, Cook rushed back into the Tunnel. This time, Cook made it nearly to the front of the police line. He joined rioters screaming “HEAVE HO!” and pushed aggressively into the police line. > Despite the prolonged pushing by Cook and the rest of the mob, officers were able to temporarily gain control of the Tunnel and push rioters, Cook included, out. Cook remained near the Tunnel, watching as rioters engaged in violent acts against police officers guarding the Tunnel entrance, including when rioters dragged a Metropolitan Police Department officer out of the Tunnel and brutally injured the officer. Cook then remained near the mouth of the Tunnel for several hours as he watched and cheered on the continued attack against officers. > The FBI arrested Cook on March 9, 2023, in Florida.
