A young man who went with his dad. (FACT.) The government alleged he pushed and struck officers near a police line, and charged him with assault and related counts. Charges are charges. In October 2023 he pleaded guilty to one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers. FACT: Sentenced to 27 months. On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued a pardon covering his January 6 case. (FACT.) He was young, and this day has followed him. This page exists so the rest of who he is can be told too.
