This is a guest post written by January 6 defendant Larry Brock, who was recently released from federal prison on nonviolent charges related to his participation in the Capitol protest. Brock is a retired Lieutenant Colonel for the Air Force; he graduated from the Air Force Academy and went on to pilot the A-10 for more than 20 years in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria.

I have fully documented my actions on January 6 on my website, but a basic recitation of some of the facts is necessary to support this story.

I flew to Washington D.C. on January 5, 2021 to listen personally to the President and to be among patriots on what I believed would be a historic day. I hoped that on the 6th, Vice President Mike Pence would work with the Senate and send the vote back to the States where voter fraud was most prevalent. When I arrived at the Capitol, an unindicted man had removed the fencing and the Ray Epps breach team had already done their work on the bicycle fencing barriers.

I crossed no fencing nor encountered any barriers and saw absolutely no violence prior to reaching the doors outside the entrance to the Capitol. As I moved to enter, I walked directly by four Capitol policemen who said nothing to me nor any other protester as we entered the building.

After a short time in the building, I saw a protester chasing a man in coat and tie and grabbed the protester and physically restrained him from continuing the chase and then placed myself between the man in coat and tie and another man dressed totally in black who appeared to me to be threatening him. The man in coat and tie was Capitol police officer Nairobi Timberlake who had dressed in plain clothes that day and he later testified in my trial that I used my command presence to defuse a tense situation and protected him.

Following this, I walked down a set of stairs and unfortunately for me while among a crowd by a door, I stepped on and then picked up a set of zip ties followed by a second set as well. These zip ties had been abandoned by the Capitol police guarding the door.

I then went to the Senate gallery and told protesters not to destroy anything and eventually worked my way down to the Senate floor and told a man to get out of the Vice President's chair as it was disrespectful for him sit in it. I deterred protesters from damaging the Senate and stealing anything.

When I decided to leave, I approached an officer and asked him where the nearest exit was. He told me he would escort me there and we walked side by side talking to the exit. As I exited the Capitol, I stopped a man from confronting the police. All of this is on video but unfortunately for me, half of America chooses to believe regime media over their own eyes. I encourage you to go to www.larrybrockjr.com and watch yourself and form your own opinion.

I strongly urge folks read the rest of his account of how he was arrested, what happened at trial, his sentencing. He will post another installment about his time in prison soon.

ETA:Was told the link was bad. No idea why.

ETA: Link still up. HERE

Political prisoner. Anyone who supports what was done to this man hates the Constitution.

Our country is being torn apart before our eyes.

And now I'm sad. I need a beer.

So disgusting what happened to these people. It was a setup.

Anyone who thinks the events at the US Capitol on January 6 was an insurrection is an idiot. The libs who support this fantasy and know it's all fake are liars.

Is anyone going to challenge that what he did that day deserved years of prison time?

The only people referring to Jan 6th as an insurrection are the ones complicit in planning and implementing it.

I have often wondered about the Capitol Hill Police officers who commmited suicide very shortly thereafter. I have wondered if they were in the grips of profound guilt, like the Scott Glenn character in the Eastwood movie, Absolute Power?

F the Feds.

They believe Ashley Babbitt deserved a bullet to the skull for what she did.

Of course they believe it. He trespassed on holy ground and entered the holy of holies where the arc of the covenant resided in their minds.

I wouldn't be so sure about the bold part. Four of my in laws lean left or strongly left but would still consider themselves "moderates." They all refer to J6 as an insurrection. Whenever trump comes up they'll say things like, "my god, the Republican Party even tried an insurrection!" This is what I hear from most dem voters and I genuinely think they believe it. These are not unintelligent people. However, they all watch CNN and MSNBC pretty much every day. I think we underestimate how easily these people are convinced by MSM propaganda.

Thanks for the link. Truly terrifying what our government has become, I fear for my children.

Not to cast any aspersions upon your friends and relatves but I have found most insurrectionist believers will never watch, read or listen to what really happened that day. I had posted bodycam video from the cops that day that were openly saying that shooting* into the crowd was only going to escalate things but their superior ordered that anyway. And they followed orders.**

*To be clear, police were shooting tear gas, flash bangs and rubber bullets, rather indiscriminately, into the crowd.

**When sat TV, internet and cell phone were out yesterday I had Band of Brothers on the DVR, so I watched that. When EZ Company had a bad commander, they had strong NCOs that kept their platoons focused and able to evade those bad and senseless orders.

What I really will never understand was why their superiors issued the orders they did, when they did. That was too staged. Pence issuing that statement, when he did, and twitter pushing it? To piss people off instead of just proceeding in normal fashion and...still doing the same thing he failed to do but telling that crowd in advance that he was going to screw over Trump? With that many people converging on the Capitol? Why in the hell would he do that? Unless that gallows was a Dem threat to him and his family if he didn't? Pence kept his family close to him that day.

Hawg, delete your link. You need to edit out everything after the question mark in the link - then repost.

It unfathomable that concerned moderates support this, but they do

There is no Democratic party it truly has gone full blown marxist

Oh I agree with you. My point was that it's not just the ones orchestrating it. I'll clarify further that I don't think they even believe it. But it has been highly effective with your ordinary dem voter. Doesn't matter how much evidence you present them with, they truly believe (or just want to believe?) it was an unarmed insurrection by the most heavily armed group of people on the planet. It makes zero sense whatsoever, but that's what they believe.

One is an electrical engineer and the other is a professor. The other two are college educated with well paying jobs. They are not idiots. We can't just reduce this down to the most shallow of components. If they were just stupid, it would be easier to dismiss. Propaganda and whatever else drives these people to believe/trust government is far more powerful than we'd like to admit.

Take them to church.

Book smart and life dumb.

Happens a LOT!

The things I read here just made me laugh, I wanted to say my thoughts on it but I don't think it's really necessary LOL

What our government has done to the people who were at the Capital on Jan 6 is one of the greatest travesty's in our nation's history. I pray Trump wins and immediately pardons everyone still languishing in jail without due process.

Never confuse intelligence with ideology. There are plenty of smart people on the left, and in fact they've outsmarted us for the last 50 years. Their ideology on the other hand is evil.

This was exactly the point I was trying to make. If we want to keep dismissing them as dumb idiots we'll keep losing. I'm not so sure their whole ideology is evil, perhaps just extremely naive. This is where I think my in-laws land. Does that lead to evil things? Why yes, it most certainly does.

By all other measures they are really great people. They're some of the happiest I know with a large tight-knit and close family. They have raised three successful children. They go to church and have a very strong social circle. They're not even "life dumb" as one poster said. For the life of me, I can't figure out how they can believe the way they do. I can't just dismiss that as book smart, life dumb or whatever.

Debt. Mortgages make cowards. People won't speak up out of self-interest and fear of losing their tax-eating gravy train.

History has a term for them. Useful idiots. Don't overthink it.

I think the answer is simpler than it seems. Some time in their past, probably when they were young and stupid, they heard the mantra that the right-wingers were fascists and nazis by someone close to them. Someone who likely experienced the same thing.

That lie stuck with them unquestioned, and they likely hear the same shallow line often enough from people in their sphere as well as the talking heads of the MSM.

At the same time, they don't challenge their own position. I believe it is human nature to look outward for threats to our wellbeing far more often than looking inward.

Combine these two things and you have a powerful incentive to just accept your political position without challenge or critical inspection. The longer you have ingrained yourself with these beliefs, the more resistant you become to changing your mind.

I worry what new staged event our government/FBI have planned between now and the election?
What will they do and how will they blame it on Trump supporters?

The democratic supremacists embrace evil and call it good.
They believe themselves to be righteous.
They have proven they will stop at NOTHING to maintain their power.

I'm afraid it's going to get much much worse before it can get better.

I appreciate the thoughtful response. However, they were fairly conservative before the Obama years, mostly voting republican. Something switched and now I don't think they'd ever support any R candidate no matter who it was or how bad the dem candidate was.

I think it has more to do with the social aspect and feelings of moral superiority they get. That plus a huge dose of naivety and they think they're the party of caring. There's a huge social dynamic with being a liberal/progressive. The left's message is: "we're compassionate and we want to help people." The conservative message is: "leave people alone and let them figure it out." It's easy to see which one is more appealing to people who are looking for those two things.

I'm starting to think the only reason the left hasn't completely won is because they've gone completely BSC insane on things like the trans crap.

My thoughts are that the conventions are going to be a s***show and organized "peaceful protests" will crop up all around the country again like the 2020 Summer of Love.

The dim convention in Chicago will have a slew of Patriot Front fedbois stirring up trouble, several blacks will die because of their antics, and "white supremacy rears its ugly head" will be atop every MSM website and publication around the world.

You can bet this is one of the options they have in their back pockets, because they are the worst poker players in world history.
