WASHINGTON — Just before they went to hear President Donald J. Trump speak on the day of the Capitol riot last year, Rocky Hardie, at the time a member of a Texas militia, and a friend, Guy Wesley Reffitt, made their preparations, Mr. Hardie testified in federal court on Friday.

They strapped pistols to their bodies, he said, and left assault rifles in the back of their car just in case “something bad happened” and they “needed to get them quickly.”

"A balding and bespectacled man who runs a business making “in-ear earphones,” as he called them, Mr. Hardie, who has since left the militia group, was testifying under an immunity deal with the government. In his two hours on the stand, he gave the jury insight into the arcane world of right-wing militias and traced the arc of his relationship with Mr. Reffitt from early meetings of the Three Percenters to their 2,000-mile road trip to Washington last year."
 
Mr. Hardie said he was impressed by Mr. Reffitt’s story of confronting the police outside the building and urging the crowd to storm up a staircase leading toward the Senate chamber. He recalled that Mr. Reffitt had specifically mentioned an officer who fired several pepper balls at him and seemed to panic when he was undeterred.

He recounted for the jury what Mr. Reffitt said he told the officer: “Lady, I don’t want to hurt you, but every time you shoot me, I’m going to move forward.”

^ I think this physical description applies to a lot of the MAGA fat asses who harbor Rambo fantasies of second amendment solutions.

IOW...LIKE EVERY NIGHT DURING THE YEAR-LONG BLM RIOTS, AND EVERY WEEKEND IN EVERY MAJOR DEMOCRAT GOVERNED CITY NOW....


ALL THE ANTIFA/BLM RIOTERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT DEAD....SHOULD BE SHOT DEAD.
