Hatchet Speed

Google phone records released to the government showed Speed was present at the Capitol on Jan. 6. After the event, he spoke with an undercover FBI agent and said he was there.

When that individual spoke to Speed a second time, Speed said Antifa was breaking windows and police were using tear gas to force the crowd into off-limit areas.

“They spent a good hour hitting us with tear gas, rubber bullets, and all kinds of things,” Speed said.

“We still weren’t getting violent, because that’s not why we were there.”

Please keep in mind that in the United States, every citizen charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
