According to court documents seen by Insider, a Tennessee man who prosecutors say entered the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and then pushed wild comparisons on Facebook about the riot has pleaded guilty to one charge of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.
According to court documents seen by Insider, the day after the attack, the man wrote on Facebook that he was "right there" when the veteran was killed. He was talking about the death of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot in the shoulder by a cop as she tried to get into the Capitol.
I was there. There was no riot. Meteer wrote in a Facebook comment that Trump Lives Matter.
Dem and reps protest by petitioning Congress. The answer is a Boston massacre, which took place on March 5, 1770.
There was no violence or destruction at the Capitol on January 6 despite five people dying in the insurrection.
Meteer was identified several times by the FBI walking through the Capitol carrying a homemade sign that said "Save the Republic."
He was arrested by the FBI on August 10, 2021, and they found 10 firearms in his home, including an assortment of shotguns, handguns, bolt action rifles, and revolvers.
The FBI filed a criminal complaint against him for entering the Capitol grounds, but he only pleaded guilty to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.
He will be sentenced to up to six months in prison and will have to pay $500 in damages to the Capitol.
