He was easy to spot since he was wearing a “I was there on January 6th” Tee shirt.

Apparently not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But then it's safe to say that anyone involved in the Jan. 6 riot is a blithering idiot.

But did he riot? It's one thing to wear a t-shirt.

From the link:

“ Like many of the 300 people facing federal charges, Miller thoroughly documented and commented on his actions in a flurry of social media posts” including video.

He went out of his way to correct those who falsely claim it was Antifa or paid infiltrators.

Guy was arrested back in January and is being held without bond.

None of the protesters at the Capitol were armed, and they weren't trying to overthrow the government.

It was simply the one time in history that a small group of Republicans managed to start a riot.

In contrast, Democrats have done this thousands of times.

In the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, a popular narrative has emerged: that because rioters did not fire guns that day, they were not really "armed."
But a review of the federal charges against the alleged rioters shows that they did come armed, and with a variety of weapons: stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats and flagpoles wielded as clubs. An additional suspect also allegedly planted pipe bombs by the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican parties the night before the riot and remains at large.
