Hat tip, KDKA. I leave a radio by my bedside on all night.
Maybe he's like me -- oppressed for his good looks. From what you can see of him, he's a good-looking guy.
He has a YouTube channel. There's no content. There's a tiny picture of him there without the mask.

Pittsburgh police on Sunday afternoon served a search warrant for a suspect believed to have incited the violence that punctuated Saturday’s Downtown protest over the killing of George Floyd by law enforcement in Minnesota.
The warrant was served against Brian Jordan Bartels, 20 of Shaler for allegedly “breaking the windows out of a marked Pittsburgh Police vehicle Uptown, against the wishes of peaceful protesters who tried to stop him,” according to a release from police.
Mr. Bartels was not home when police served the warrant at his Shaler residence, but they did find evidence that links him to the violence that occurred Saturday. He is currently facing charges of “institutional vandalism, rioting and reckless endangerment of another person,” according to the report.
A warrant has been issued for Mr. Bartels’ arrest while the investigation continues.
