Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that J6 riot protester, Kevin James Lyon, flashed a vape he was holding at officers not badge at Capitol as he took a wallet from a Pelosi staffer’s coat and a framed photograph of Pelosi.
In a criminal complaint, an FBI agent reported that after the Capitol riot – which took place on Wednesday, Jan. 6 – law enforcement reviewed an Instagram account that they confirmed belonged to Lyons.
The Instagram account included a screenshot of a map tracing the route to Lyons’ home to the Washington, D.C. area, with a post beside it reading, “I refuse to tell my children that I sat back and did nothing. I am heading to DC to STOP THE STEAL!”
— A man was arrested on the Northwest Side Wednesday in connection with the assault on the U.S. Capitol last week.
Kevin Lyons, 40, was arrested at his home in the Gladstone Park neighborhood. A criminal complaint said he admitted to entering House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office.
A picture taken by a neighbor Wednesday showed FBI agents looking through Lyons’ HVAC truck. Electronics and other items were removed from the home. Lyons recorded himself as he stole a wallet with around $150 in cash from a staff member’s jacket. The framed photograph he stole was a gift given to Pelosi about two months after Lewis’ death, federal prosecutors said. It showed Pelosi, D-Calif., and Lewis, D-Ga., — who was a member of the Freedom Riders, spoke during the 1963 March on Washington and had his skull fractured by an Alabama state trooper as he tried to march across a bridge in Selma in 1965 — at what used to be known as the “Door of No Return” at Elmina Castle in Ghana. As Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean McCauley said Friday, “countess Africans passed through” that door en route to their enslavement.
Howell said it was absurd that Lyons joined the mob in heckling officers — calling them “f—ing Nazi bastards!” and “SS!” — given that the attack on the U.S. Capitol was “about the most fascistic” thing she’d seen.
“It was the mob that was more like the Nazis and the fascists that day,” Howell said, saying it was “bizarrely ironic” for Lyons to refer to officers as Nazis “when the shoe is on the other foot.”
