NORFOLK, Va. — A man who was photographed wearing a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt during the U.S. Capitol riot last week was arrested Wednesday in Virginia, authorities said. Packer said he intends to hire his own lawyer, as opposed to a court-appointed attorney. But he did not identify who would represent him in the case.

FBI spokeswoman Christina Pullen said a second Virginia man, Douglas Allen Sweet, of Grimstead, was also arrested Wednesday for his alleged participation in the riot.

Disorderly conduct? What a joke! How about treason?

I guess being a dirtbag, scum is not a valid charge.

I'd love to know where all the federal charges are for all the morons rioting all summer long. They caused far more death, damage, and destruction than anything that happened at the capital. Antifa actively ruined people's lives and occupations unlike the capital protest

Too bad he can’t be charged for wearing the sweatshirt too!

I look forward to reading about his day in court and his lengthy incarceration

Maybe charge him with sedition and terrorism too?

And yet Hunter who molested his niece walks free
