Ohio man joins raid on U.S. Capitol: 'I shouldn't have kicked in the window'
An Ohio man kicked in an enforced window shutter at the U.S. Capitol during a seditious mob raid on Congress last week, footage shows.
Troy Faulkner can be clearly seen on the exterior of the Capitol in a “Faulkner Painting” sweatshirt bearing the company phone number. Footage shows him successfully kicking the shutter in after the first insurrectionist failed. The crowd responded with jubilance.
Shortly thereafter, a woman uses a Donald Trump flag to clear what’s left of the pane.
“Traitors! Traitors get guillotine,” one man yelled, referring to a machine infamously used during the French Revolution for beheadings.

“It seemed the cops were antagonizing us and letting them straight into the building in the front so I believe it was all set up for the Trump people,” he said. “I knew I shouldn’t have kicked in the window. I was upset and wasn’t thinking rationally.”
Looking back on it, he said he just got caught up in the moment, and added he wasn’t part of any violence against police officers.
“I don’t glorify what I did, nor am I proud of it,” he said.
On his Facebook, a photo depicts Faulkner wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat with a “white lives matter” graphic framing his head.
A true rugged individual willing to take personal responsibility
