On January 20, local time, the FBI arrested a man carrying an assault rifle to participate in the riots in the Capitol.
According to the FBI, the man is Samuel Fisher from New York, who often uses the screen name "Brad Holiday" to post gun pictures on the social media platform Facebook. Before his involvement in the Capitol riots, he posted a photo of an assault rifle and a pistol online and told friends that he had left his weapons and rifles in his car in a Washington, D.C., parking lot in case of emergency.
The day after the Capitol riots, Fisher posted on his Facebook account that the experience of participating in the riots was "great, full of danger and violence" and that "seeing the police run away was the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life." ”
After Fisher posted, some netizens contacted the FBI to report it, and the FBI also had enough evidence in the next investigation. Fisher is currently facing multiple charges for carrying an assault rifle in the Reichstag riots. (CCTV reporter Liu Xiaoqian)
