Brandon Straka, founder of the Walk Away movement encouraging members to leave the Democrat party, was arrested at the protest. He was charged with impeding law enforcement during civil disorder, knowingly entering and remaining on restricted grounds, and disorderly conduct. He never entered the Capitol building itself but did join in with those chanting to "Take it".
He wound up pleading guilty to one misdemeanor charge and was sentenced to three years probation, three months house arrest, and a $5,000 fine. He was on the West side of the Capitol where there was no violence or rioting. That part of the protest was peaceful, as the newly released video plainly shows.
Interestingly, most of those actually walking into the Capitol were charged with a misdemeanor crime of knowingly entering a restricted building.
This is how the Gov't punishes Social Media influencers who espouse the "wrong" party's views.
“I hardly know where to begin. One year ago yesterday an FBI swat team came
into my home at dawn, put me in handcuffs, and put me in a concrete cell for
several days. This was the beginning of what has turned into a year-long nightmare
fraught with mistruths, misinformation, abuse of legal process, and a savage
campaign to destroy me,” Straka wrote in a letter to his followers on social media.
“It didn’t,” he defiantly added.
