Miles Adkins, a member of the Frederick County School Board in Virginia, was charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack after he was identified by online sleuths.
An elected member of a Virginia school board — who allegedly bragged about drinking Fireball and Coors Light in the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack and said he was in touch with a member of the far-right Oath Keepers that day — was arrested by federal authorities Tuesday.
Miles Adkins, a member of the Frederick County School Board in Virginia, faces four misdemeanor charges: entering and remaining in a restricted building, disruptive conduct in a restricted building, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and unlawful picketing in a Capitol building. Court records show that Adkins was scheduled to make his first appearance in a federal courtroom in Charlottesville on Tuesday.
Look, fuck this guy for probably being a fascist or whatever. But I’m not going to pretend hitting some fireball and slamming a cold one inside of the capital isn’t rad as hell.
I’ll give you the Coors because that shit sucks, and I don’t even like fireball but if there’s ever a time for it, its while illegally occupying a federal building.
If you’re gonna LARP being a revolutionary (even a fascist one), at least do it right. Get yourself some nice wine, brandy, or whiskey.
Y’all want to drink 40 proof Canadian whiskey mixed with sugar and cinnamon when storming the US capitol?
At least do the nation the honor of drinking something 80 proof from Kentucky for fucks sake.
Just a bit of national pride is all we ask for.
Monster trucks are also redneck shit, that doesn’t make them not rad as hell.
People are taking this way too seriously. It was also rad when Jimmy Carter’s son smoked weed with Willie Nelson at the whitehouse.
It wasn’t cold, it was in his tactical khaki cargo pockets the whole way there.
And as we all know, A ONE THAT IS NOT COLD IS SCARCELY A ONE AT ALL.
Finally a legitimate counter to my comment. I can excuse storming the Capitol, I cannot excuse a warm pocket beer.
Misdemeanor? Uhhhh…try Felony! You can get charged with a felony for having drugs on you, but entering a capitol building BY FORCE isn’t a felony?!
“I drank fireball and coors lite in the capitol,” Adkins wrote in a message after the attack, according to an FBI affidavit. As he left the Capitol, he was also captured on video yelling, “Let’s go get a beer, let’s go get a beer!” the FBI said.
It was like 2:15 on a Wednesday afternoon ya treasonous drunkard…
One of the guys who stormed the Capitol drinks Fireball and Coors Light?
For many of these folks, it was the absolute pinnacle of their lives… smh “Let’s go streaking through the quad!” for old people…
