Rioter Was Out on Bail for 1st Degree Attempted Murder When He Stormed Capitol
Matthew Jason Beddingfield was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday, more than 10 months after he was first identified by online sleuths.
The North Carolina man faces felony charges of assaulting officers, impeding officers during a civil disorder, and carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon on restricted Capitol grounds, as well as several misdemeanors, according to court records.
Beddingfield was first publicly identified in March after online sleuths investigating the January 6th attack used facial recognition to find his mugshot.
It turns out that the January 6th rioter stormed the Capitol while he was out on bail on an attempted first-degree murder charge.
Six months before stabbing a man to death in Liberty Park in a dispute over money, a Salt Lake man traveled to Washington and participated in the U.S. Capitol riot while armed with a gun.
But despite published photos that show him at the Capitol that day displaying a weapon, despite tips sent to the FBI about him, and despite the fact that he told police he was part of the mob that went inside the Capitol that day, the Utah man has not been arrested or charged in connection with the riot, and it is unknown whether he has even been questioned by the FBI.
Online sleuths identified John Banuelos in photos published by the FBI from the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington. The man is pictured in FBI photos with a handgun in his waistband.
Matthew Perna, 37, entered the Capitol after the doors had already been breached by riotous Donald Trump supporters who overran police and swarmed the building in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden's win in the 2020 presidential election. According to prosecutors, Perna stayed in the building for about 20 minutes in the Senate Wing Lobby. He was seen on video chanting with the crowd.
Perna also made multiple Facebook posts indicating that he was a QAnon adherent. Perna pleaded guilty in December of all four charges against him. Unlike hundreds of other January 6th defendants who struck deals with prosecutors to plead guilty to one or more charges in exchange for other charges being dropped, Perna pleaded guilty to the indictment itself, without a plea deal. The pro-Trump website American Greatness has reported that Perna hanged himself in jail.
He must have been disillusioned to learn that Q was not real, and that Trump was not president, and could not pardon him.
Guns are for emasculate bluebloods I want plasma castors. And ya know what, I know what materials in person to fuse using microwave ovens to make them. Microwaves, like all electronics, need phosphorus. Phosphorus glows in the dark and is a chemical derived from living creatures.
You know those two degenerates behind Qanon, father and son Jim and Ron Watkins, get off on this type of shit, the power they had/have over these idiots.
There's a lot of weapons and medical DNA changing tech only I can teach
But unfortunately they're making me try to figure out how to slowly literally skin 3.5 billion male competition alive without any help first over a foot fetish

A former Virginia police officer who was fired for storming the Capitol on January 6th with his platoon sergeant has pleaded guilty to a felony and will cooperate with prosecutors.
Jacob Fracker, 30, formerly a K9 unit officer with the Rocky Mount Police Department in Virginia, was accused of traveling to Washington with his platoon sergeant Thomas Robertson. Once there, the duo joined the mob which headed to the Capitol after Donald Trump's "Stop the Steal" rally.
Donning gas masks, both men entered the Capitol and took a picture of themselves inside the Capitol Crypt. The pair made an obscene gesture to the camera and stood in front of a statue of Revolutionary War Major General John Stark, according to evidence presented by the FBI.
Former West Virginia State lawmaker, Republican Derrick Evans, pleaded guilty to one count of civil disorder during a plea agreement hearing in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on Friday.
He now faces a maximum of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and supervised release of not more than three years. He will also have to pay $2,000 in restitution.
He will be sentenced on June 22, 2022 at 12:30 p.m. Evans, who was elected to represent Wayne County, resigned his seat in the Legislature on January 9th, just three days after the Capitol riot.
