Capitol Hill Riots: Section Four

Merissa A. Suarez: The correctional officer from Monmouth County, N.J. resigned from her job after being charged with invading the Capitol Building. 

Suarez took an “emergency holiday” from work to attend the “Save America Rally” in Washington D.C.

After she and her friend, Patricia Todisco (see next) listened to President Trump and the other speakers on Jan. 6, they headed for the Capitol. Both women are charged with “violent entry and disorderly conduct” for their part in the riot. In one video clip filmed before rioters broke into the building, Suarez can be heard shouting, “Stop the Steal.” In another video, Suarez comments on the crowd smashing a way ahead: “oh Trish, oh shit, oh shit, Yo, this is what they fucking wanted, this is what they get.” 

A text she sent on Jan. 7 read: “When we found out Pence f---ed us, we all stormed the Capitol building and everyone forced entry and started breaking s---. It was like a scene out of a movie.” 

Next movie scene for Suarez: “Orange is the New Black?”

Patricia Todisco: The affidavit in Todisco’s case notes that she traveled to D.C. with Suarez (above). Several times, while filming videos from the attack, Suarez allegedly calls out to her friend, “Trish.” Todisco was carrying an American flag, and wearing a red backpack when she entered the Capitol Building. 

In a series of text message and videos the following day, Suarez essentially identifies her pal as a suspect. For example: 

After I took this video, trish and I went all the way up. We said fuck it and went to the front door

 

Everyone forcing in

 

Shit was crazy inside.. everything was broken. People were flipping out.

 

The smoke alarms were going off bc everyone was smoking pot and then people started drinking

 

The metro police blocked off the statues and tried pushing us out but most of them were cool. I had words with a dick cop..

 

Apparently they breached the chamber at one point and stole the flags….A kid stole a coat hanger.. it was funny as shit

 

Then the cops showed up for riot control and that’s when it got fucked. The governor issued a 6pm curfew

 

This is us going in.. (she included a video)

 

This is one of the antifa fucks we found.. lol of course for some reason trish and I were around everytime the crowd found one. I actually saw a kid getting ready to throw a jack daniels bottle with some shit in at the cops and I started flipping out on him and then I informed some of the military guys and they handled him.. (video also posted)

 

Trish took pictures and I took these shit videos bc that’s all I could do lol

 

Once again, we have a Trump supporter insisting they have seen the dread Antifa; but the proof is threadbare. 

In any case, Senator Jeffrey Merkley (of Oregon) posted to his Twitter account later that day, documenting damage done to his office as a result of the breach. Todisco can allegedly be seen in one picture taken during the riot, wearing a distinctive red backpack, and leaving Merkley’s office. 


Merkley office damage.

Eduard Florea: The Queens, N.Y. software engineer was arrested by F.B.I. agents after a raid on his house uncovered more than a thousand rounds of rifle ammunition. His wife, Joni, says he has been “radicalized” by the Proud Boys. 

Mrs. Florea says she voted for President Trump twice. Now she says, “Donald Trump is a cult leader, and his legacy will be the Capitol riots, the Proud Boys, and Parler.” The couple has an 8-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old son. Mom says the agents were kind to her children. 

Her daughter told her later, “It’s okay, Mom. They gave us pizza.” 

At first, Joni Florea supported Trump. She wanted to keep peace with her husband. The longer Trump spent in office, the worse it became. “Life wasn’t enjoyable anymore, because my husband became somebody else,” she said. “Anything I said or did against Donald Trump, it’s like I didn’t have a voice.” 

Her husband has been charged with making online threats against newly-elected Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia. 

She told reporters, she was touched by President-Elect Biden’s inaugural speech, and choked up talking about how he reached out to Trump supporters. 

“I am ready to grab that hand of unity,” Florea said, her eyes welling up with tears. “Even after what happened, [Biden] still offered us that unity … Grab onto it guys, we don’t have to defend Donald Trump anymore, because he’s not going to defend you. He just cares about himself, and his legacy is now the storming of the Capitol.”

Karl Dresch: At his first hearing the Calumet, Michigan man said he worked in the flooring industry. Business is slow, he told the judge. Dresch is the son of a former Republican state lawmaker. 

According to authorities, Dresch posted a picture of himself inside the halls of Congress and captioned it: “That’s right outside the house of representative...we got in! Took a lil gas ...wtf I love masks now!” 

For once he was wearing a surgical mask, the kind experts have been saying for a year we should all have been putting on our dumb faces. Another one of those “Stop the Steal” types, Dresch posted on Facebook on Jan. 3. that he was preparing to go to ‘DC,’ and was ‘prepared for chemical attacks and what not,’” according to a federal filing. “NO EXCUSES! NO RETREAT! NO SURRENDER! TAKE THE STREETS! TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY! 1/6/2021=7/4/1776.” 

The day after the riot, he posted about his Antifa pals…and…no, I’m joking. Who believes that shit? 

He posted: “...we the people took back our house, the news is all (bulls***).and now those traitors Know who’s really in charge. And I can’t say I saw any violence from our people, despite all the poking of the capitol police, gassing randomly into the women and children being peaceful, beating old men we kept chill[.]” 

In 2014 Dresch was convicted of “fleeing or eluding the police,” in a chase that passed through two counties and reached speeds of 146 mph. 


Dresch home.

Jacob G. Hiles: The Virginia Beach charter boat captain was arrested and charged with “knowingly entering” and remaining in a restricted “without lawful authority,” and “knowingly, with intent to impede government business or official functions, engaging in disorderly conduct” inside Capitol buildings. 

Hiles, is allegedly seen in both photos and videos from the riot, wearing a “F*** Antifa’ sweatshirt. “Feelin cute…might start a revolution later, IDK – in Capitol Hill,” he posted on social media.

Bradley Weeks: In a video he allegedly posted during the attack on Congress, Weeks shouts, at various points, 

We’ve reached the steps. We’ve had to climb scaffolding. We’ve had to climb ladders. We’ve had to break things to get through, but we’ve gotten through.”

 

We’ve gotten through, and we are going to take back the Capitol! We’re taking back our country! This is our 1776! This is where it’s gonna happen! This is where Tyranny will fall! This is where America will rise! Look at this, America! Look at this!

 

“Take back our country!” It’s a phrase straight out of Donald J. Trump’s mouth and oft repeated by his word-challenged fans. 

What does that simplistic statement mean? Take it back from whom? And how? By violence? So it would seem.

Israel Tutrow and Joshua Wagner: The two young Indiana men rode to Washington D.C. together. Now, both are charged with: 

o   Knowingly Entering or Remaining in any Restricted Building or Grounds

o   Disorderly Conduct Which Impedes the Conduct of Government Business

o   Disruptive Conduct in the Capitol Buildings

o   Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in the Capitol Buildings

 

According to one tipster to the F.B.I., Wagner “vehemently opposes Joseph Biden as President.” 

According to court documents, an image of a man with distinctive tattoos on his face, including a crude cross on the forehead, and wearing a black beanie with white lettering of “TRUMP,” was used to identify Tutrow as a participant in the attack.

Dustin Thompson and Robert Lyon: the two Ohio men, who met in college, are now charged with having participated in the Capitol Hill riot. 

Among other charges, Thompson allegedly stole a coat rack and then fled when police ordered him to stop. 

When Thompson made off, Lyon stopped and allowed police to search him. They found marijuana, two pipes, and an open bottle of bourbon. Lyon at first denied being in the Capitol Building; but pictures confiscated from his phone indicated that the two men had been inside. At one point, Lyon texted his friend, “We need to get out with this trophy.” In another video, Thompson is seen inside a ransacked office. “Woooooo! ‘Merica! Hey! This is our house!”
