Of all the evidence that's come out during the legal proceedings against hundreds of rioters,

who showed up at the Capitol in January 6th, there's this one piece of video I just can't shake.

This was shot by a rioter himself. He'd stuck a camera onto the helmet he was wearing.

You can listen in as he explains to a little crowd gathered around him exactly what he wants to do.

He says he wants to get inside the Capitol and take it over.

What if they start shooting?

What if they start shooting? Someone asks. The guy with the helmet cam laughs. He says

everyone of my guys are here and they came in hot and so did I.

There's probably, you're probably standing around more than a million and a half guns right now.

Then he adds, I just want to hear Nancy Pelosi's head hit every effing stare on the way out.

This rioter's name is Guy Reffit. Later today, he's going to be sentenced for what he did.
