From the Bradenton Herald:
Parrish man caught on camera carrying U.S. House lectern during riot at Capitol
BY RYAN BALLOGG AND JESSICA DE LEON
JANUARY 07, 2021 10:27 AM, UPDATED JANUARY 07, 2021 04:45 PMBY ALEX DAUGHERTY
The man captured in a viral photo taking a lectern from the U.S. House during Wednesday’s attack on the Capitol has been identified as a Parrish resident.
Adam Christian Johnson, 36, smiled and waved as he was caught on camera carrying what appeared to be U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s lectern as he walked through the U.S. Capitol Building with other rioters on Wednesday. The podium bears the official seal of the speaker of the House.
The image, captured by chief Getty Images photographer Win McNamee, quickly circulated social media in the hours that followed, and numerous local residents were swift in recognizing and identifying him. An acquaintance confirmed his identity for the Bradenton Herald.
Johnson lives in Parrish with his wife and their five children. He is a stay-at-home father, who makes and sells furniture, while his wife is a doctor in Palmetto.
Can you imagine an Antifa rioter having the good looks and Chad personality to have a high income doctor as his wife while he stays home with his five kids and screws around online and occasionally loots Nancy Pelosi’s lectern?
This is like a Virgin vs. Chad cartoon come to life.
He’s still a bozo.
At first, he looked to me like this comedian …
A good life I hope that won’t be interrupted by a prison sentence. Unless he’s an infiltrator, of course. Many Proud Boys ended up in prison, while no BLM blackshirt or antifa has ever spent more than a night at the county sheriff ‘s jail.
The non-threatening charm of him and president bufalo bro led to somebody making a lego set meme of them.
Though I can’t vouch for the veracity of the guys with AR-15s and handguns.
Berserker all the way, baby.
I really appreciate your sense of humor Steve.
It can be helpful to see the lighter side when all around us are shouting “THE END TIMES ARE AT HAND”.
Nancy Pelosi probably still has wet dreams about being kidnapped by this fellow. “I wish I was that lectern! It would have been so romantic to be carried away by a charming rascal”
He looks like someone on Antiques Roadshow who just found out their Capital page ancestor really did get a valuable item from the 100th Congress House Speaker as a gift.
Didn’t this guy offer to fetch beer from the fridge for his pal OJ?
Trump supporters aren’t ugly but are heavily Evangelical and ooze low information.
The whole thing was more like a lost scene from “Animal House” than an insurrection/revolution.
For now the left still has a monopoly on indiscriminate violence, anarchy and vandalism.
There will be no time for selfies in a real revolution.
It’s not Pelosi’s lectern. It is the people of the United States’ lectern. Pelosi just gets to use it while her graft and corruption regime holds out.
It’s little slip-ups like this that show the media’s real beliefs.
——
P.S. If I were his lawyer, I would point out he did not actually steal the lectern. He just moved it, which is not a crime. (Maybe it is nowadays, but proving that is the prosecution’s job.)
Right.
The support shown for this f*ckery hereabouts is surprising even to me.
But it’s all good: the populist movement is shedding its crazies, while the smart people are forming plans.
I almost hope the Dems are serious about ejecting the Republicans from Congress. That would be great. We’d get the chance to elect new ones.
No self-respecting man would agree to be a SAHD
Florida should refuse to hand him over if the Biden regime demand it, states’ rights. Biden and his handlers are behaving like they just carried out an illegitimate coup, they know the majority are against them and trying to silence them quickly.
It’s completely tacky too, with some kind of bronze shield in front. What’s that good for? Do reps throw bolts of lightning that can only be made harmless by the Embossed Eagle Gong of Deflection?
Get some tasteful Ikea furniture in there, FFS.
Can I use my 8th level paladin?
F off. You’re miserable. That guy is pure joy. If you don’t get it you don’t get it.
One protestor said he took an envelope from pelosi’s desk and left a quarter as payment. How delusional. That special congressional envelope probably cost the taxpayers $100 each. The guy with the lectern is too funny and there are probably 100 guys wearing a horned hat at any Bills’ home game.
A lot of these poor slobs are going to see 20 years hard lock up. Our ruling elites want to make sure the peasants get the message.
Does he have a bail fund yet?
He’s already immortalized in art in Syria.
Have they filed charges against a spitter yet for assault with a deadly weapon?
Stealing or not stealing a lecturn or an envelope is hardly the point. These people broke into the Capitol with the intention of blocking the final ceremonial part of certifying the election of the next president.
Now this fellow who has a beautiful family and a fine wife will probably end up spending years in prison for his utter foolishness and immaturity.
What a shame. but in earlier times he would have ended up with his head on a pike after being hanged, drawn, and quartered. So thank heaven for small mercies.
But perhaps Trump will pardon him.
Lectern, schmectern.
Does he have Nancy’s gavel?
Having the lectern only grants him bloviation rights. But if he has her gavel, he can pass his own laws! You see what I’m saying?
“Uhhh… Ice cream for everyone on Sundays…” Bang!
Good Humor trucks appear, bringing US guvmint ice cream to people all over the country. Citizens and illegals both – it is a Democrat gavel, after all.
“We went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

We are the Wide Awakes now, and you, and the rest of the “woke”, the Chloroformers.
Abolitionist “Wide Awakes” Were Woke Before “Woke”
Wonder if the Dr. wife will be fired from whatever hospital or medical practice she works at now that her husband has been ID’d as a Trump supporter. That can be a far more serious offense than ‘looting’ these days.
“These people broke into the Capitol with the intention of blocking the final ceremonial part of certifying the election of the next president.”
Lol! And they actually took a lot of selfies and dumped out a few desk drawers.
We get the dull normie view from a thousand other sources. We don’t need you dumping it here like a pile of wet laundry all the time.
At the end of the day that’s Trump’s Achilles Heel – he never could protect his people. May turn out he couldn’t even protect himself.
Scroll down here for the most heartbreaking case of this phenomenon:

The joke is that Kaep took a knee and this guy took a stand.
“Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s holy lectern of hammering” must be a meme by now.
To paraphrase Lovecraft:
Federal prosecutors and judges are merciless when dealing with even minor offences against U.S. government. After the Iraq war started, an overenthusiastic guy posted a message that Bush should be assassinated. He was tracked down and given a long prison sentence.
A lot of people are going to get felony charges that will ruin their life for cheap stunts like this.
Oh, you poor traumatized Democrat/Progressive. How sad for you. I do hope you recover soon. Try some Mydol. And never mind all that right-wing hate-speech about taxpayers’ money and politicians representing the people!
I thought he was Via Getty. https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/confused-americans-think-the-rioters-name-who-stole-podium-from-us-capitol-is-via-getty-3256226.html
Hey, who knew?
The fact that “Florida Man” is present should give everyone some idea as to the seriousness of the insurrection claims of the Left.
After the past four plus years, “he interrupted a ceremony” isn’t exactly the grave offense you seem to think it is.
The coming disparate legal treatment of the Capitol protests and the much more violent BLM protests in the same City separated by a mere five months or so will further radicalize normal people.
In any event, I think you’ve accidentally backed into the real reason for the hysterical overreaction to what happened – apart from the ordinary hatred the leftists have for prole whites, the mostly peaceful Capitol protest interrupted their triumphal celebration. This is surely worth the coming crackdowns.
literally nothing important has changed…yet.
no reason to assume the worst will.
Things are getting really sweet out there
After Capitol Hill riots, children rat out their right-wing parents to the media
I suppose anecdotes like these will be collected, interpreted and shown at the Jewish Film Festival with sad background music, eventually. “When Hitler stole my tiny duck” etc.
Thanks to Tiny Duck for posting “Choose Your Fighter.” The Witch lady made my morning. She’s adorable.

Say what you want about this guy, but you can’t accuse him of being patriarchal.
Maybe they have a wood shop in federal prison…we live in hope.
“We are the Wide Awakes now”
Beware. Another Reichstag Fire trap awaits. You don’t want to end up in prison with the Proud Boys. They’ll make you don the the leather thong and wrestle.
I love how the media insists he has stolen that lectern. Whereas I’m pretty sure 95 percent of intelligent people just assumed he merely moved it from one location within the building to another. And posed for a silly photo to give the comic impression he was stealing the lectern.
But no, Anderson Cooper regards him as a brigand!
This guy looted** a lectern, they looted the nation.
(**actually just moved it inside Capitol)
Who should be in the dock?
My thought is that Republicans should insist that they amnesty one person for the Capitol intrusion for each and every BLM rioter the D.C. prosecutor refused to charge.
Of course even most Republican congressmen probably think prosecuting the Capitol protestors is more important, because their safety is important – unlike the safety of everyone else.
Barring that, the people who are are charged should argue that prosecuting them but not BLM rioters amounts to discrimination.
US can buy a new one.
(Check https://usdebtclock.org/ )
Nah, probably not.
Maybe Pelosi can drop some of her 170 million USD loot to help out?
My sister just did one of those ancestry things…not the DNA version…and apparently the Lawrence Brothers were relatives…dont know much about them but that they were abolitionists…apparently we are also related to slave owners .Maybe we can get half off our reparations bill but I doubt it.
Arrested for cultural appropriation? They had a Dago and a Dindu impersonating Vikings.
The hysterical reaction to these Trumpian protesters/vandals is a revealing mix of Jewish marketplace lying and gentile aristocratic privilege.
“Insurrection” and “How dare they!”
… following a summer where the Democrats justified all sorts of riot, looting, arson, assault and mayhem–suffered by ordinary American citizens–in the name of “justice” and fighting “white privilege”.
Look for them to go after his wife and kids. His wife will lose her job or be kicked out of her practice (more and more doctors are mere employees these days) and colleges will refuse to admit his kids. That’s how the Left rolls these days.
Meanwhile….Chesa. Boudin, the son of two terrorist Weather Underground murderers, was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, admitted to Yale Law, and clerked for Stephen Breyer’s brother. Because that’s different. This dude stole a lectern. Boudin’s parents only murdered some people.
He is now the San Francisco DA, where he is releasing one convict after another back onto the street, including one who has been released five times since April, then killed two women on Christmas Eve while driving a stolen car.
I rather doubt that that’s how it really was in this family. Shameless self-promoters and publicity hounds often meet and marry each other. Don’t you remember Balloon Boy?
But anyway, thanks for providing your readers with this little unintentional Rorschach test into how you actually view the world.
Too bad those kids will never have their father at home again after he’s given a life sentence with terrorism charges.
Actually, the lectern is property of the federal government and the guy is illegally in that place. I thought he you believed in the rule of law.
Of course Mr. Sailer here is engaging in selective NOTICING. He is cagey in implying that the rioters, in an unlawful area, are essentially hapless creatures. Nothing really to worry about.
However, iSteve is careful not to show the entire picture.

At 2:24 p.m., after Mr. Trump tweeted, dozens of messages on Gab called for those inside the Capitol building to find the disloyal vice president. In videos uploaded to the channel, protesters could be heard chanting ‘Where is Pence?”

“It’s not Pelosi’s lectern. It is the people of the United States’ lectern. Pelosi just gets to use it while her graft and corruption regime holds out.”
The People of the United States are an collection of international bankers and their allies. Everyone else is a deluded serf who gets to engage in a ritual ceremony every so often where he’s conned into believing the serfs are in control.
FIFY
You responded to a discussion about theft by referring to trespassing in order to chastise Sailer for diminishing the severity of acts comparable to mostly peaceful protests only in the degree to which this last event’s social impact and harm is considerably less than the mostly peaceful protests that proceeded it.
Having trouble holding an coherent train of thought?
It’s gonna be hard to keep up the “insurrection” narrative, ironically because of the journalist-amplified Happy Warrior optics. They didn’t have the performative scowls of a BLM Mom or flag-burning college kid (Humorless vs. Humorful again).
The MSNBC dudgeon brigade doesn’t even believe their own overheated rhetoric; and no one believes they sincerely give a crap about the dead here, despite demurrals of Shaun King (?!)
The upside of this is that BLM Woodstock is now kaput. President Kamala means that would have to happen eventually anyway.
“These people broke into the Capitol with the intention of blocking the final ceremonial part of certifying the election of the next president.”
How very pussyhat of them.
Hey, kudos to charmer man. If Nancy Pelosi can rip up a presidents speech in front of the whole world in the Congress, then charmer dude should be able to steal her stupid podium.
Your first sentence is dead on correct. The people that broke into the place, it has largely been confirmed, mainly walked around and goofed off. They did not set Congress ablaze, nor had any intention too. That’s the behavior of democrat party supporters like antifa and blm. Some of the people were identified as antifa by face recognition software. What else is new. Trump supporters are peaceful people. Democrats steal elections and cause violence, like communists do. Bravo!! I fully agree with you post.
No guts no glory, officer.
OT: Antifa at Capitol (mostly) peaceful protests

I know Steve is a big fan of local coverage, so I am a little surprised he didn’t post some videos. Anyway.
The fun part starts at 34:00.
This one is good as well.
I wonder what these charmers would have done to Mike Pence, that disgustung traitor to the God-Emperor, if they had got their hands on him. Luckily, they told us.
What a bunch of goofballs, right?
Well, partisanship is a hell of a thing, very hard to resist apparently.

Can’t go through life like that.
Anyone else noticed that of the three most powerful world nations, only in the United States can powerful oligarchs openly deplatform the head of state, having spent the previous three years deplatforming his supporters?
In Russia, Putin fought the oligarchs at great personal risk and established an uneasy modus vivendi with them (or most of them – the risks were on both sides).
China is supposed to be the great Surveillance State par excellence – but when their equivalent of Jeff Bezos started telling the Central Committee what they should do he was unpersoned PDQ. Has he surfaced yet?
Mind, Trump gave Google and Facebook lots of cheap H1Bs. Maybe he thought they’d be grateful.
Thank God for modern orthodontistry.
Yes, he has adorned himself with the garments of a commoner, and most shockingly of all, he appears to be enjoying himself. I am proud to say I have never enjoyed myself one whit, and I hope you can report likewise, comrade.
I very much doubt that his wife will lose her job, but she will probably divorce him after he gets sent to prison.
Very likely there were already issues in the marriage, because going to Washington and doing what he did is not the action of a responsible family man.
Contrary to all the usual advice given to heads of state about security of communications, Trump chose to publish his business correspondence on a ‘free’ commercial Web service.
Anyone who uses a free service like Twitter or Facebook should realize that they are the product, not the content.
I don’t know what it is with politicians, but this was just as stupid as Hillary having her own private email server and using it for State department business.
When will they ever learn?
Who are you? Dean Wormer, trying to put the Deltas on double-secret probation?
The theft was the result of trespassing, which was spurred in large part by a protest held by the chief executive. The trespassers we are led to believe by our intrepid host are harmless goofs. Clearly, a good deal of the invaders do not fit that description.
Try to keep up.
Putin is an oligarch who orders the poisoning of his political opponents.
Of course he’ll be imprisoned. Does it really need to be spelled out that the law only applies to us? None of those CHAZ murders will ever be properly investigated, let alone prosecuted. The Miracle Mile and the main districts of many cities are mortally wounded and will not heal. The silver lining is that all those boomers who looked down their noses at the crucifixion of James Fields are going to find out how good their car locks are and how fast they can run.
*sigh* I on this point alone agree completely with Doctor Tropico.
Yep, definitely worse than commuting.
And these doors are not Death Star quality.
But the YouTube commenters are Blue-Authoritarians, what’s with that?
And the guy who suddenly holed the lady out of the blue for no reason at all is black, too. Too nervous for such a job.
More MSM pablum one-liners Corvinus, please. I’m totally ready to receive my daily NPC lesson.
His wife seems to have a small town family practice so probably making $150,000. Any income he makes is taxed at that same high bracket she’s in. So he makes 50k, about 20k goes to the gov. Then he has additional car expenses for commuting and his net from the job is maybe 28k. Additional child care then takes another big chunk. He also has less time for home improvement and maintenance.
All in, that means he’s making something like $5 an hour or less in net additional income. Maybe $0 if they have children under 2 which is especially expensive.
He is rather good-looking. I’m glad to hear he has five children. I just hope his wife is a good-looking white European-American or white European.
I think Rod Stewart stole that refrain from Clarence “Frog-Man” Henry.
Saying “Orwellian” is cliche at this point but, yeah…
At first I was tempted to post a LOL.
But that’s just not right. Shades of Ron Manager imagining Gary Lineker…
Certainly taken over Alan Shearer’s mantle with aplomb.
STASI LIVES!
The Stasi is alive and well and thriving in WOKE America!
Natural Charmin’ thief steals Nancy Pelosi’s legendary bedpan…
It must get messy when they play the Vikings.
No. It was a pro-democracy demonstration.
Smart people don’t describe movements they wish to succeed with the word “populist.”
If they were black or Antifa protesting a Republican government (or anything that benefited Democrats) NOTHING would have happened.
As it is, they will get probably 10 years in prison or worse, and Trump will do nothing.
At the end of the day, the problem of Trump is that he’s like the U.S., an unreliable “ally”, who always goads “color revolutions”, then if it fails it lets the people hang out to dry.
Given his Dad, he’ll likely have reasonable legal arguments and representation right out of the gate. He is obviously an authentic protestor and so will, like all participants should, hold firm to the line that they each individually did nothing illegal. Someone moved a lectern, someone tool am envelope, and the rest queue jumped to get on unguided your of the Capitol. Perhaps some unidentified randomers were rowdy or violent but walking unopposed into a government building is not a crime.
Antifa like political violence. They’d have joined the SA back in the day in a heartbeat, though I doubt Rohm would have let them. Far too ugly for his tastes.
Taking a stand for freedom!
I don’t think that’s true.
Public property – sort of like all those statues that were defaced and pulled down this last summer, huh, a**hat?
What happened to the lectern? It looks too heavy to have carried far. But if it’s on EBay, let me know.
Breaking and entering is a crime.
Smart people don’t like crazies infesting their movement.

He is no longer just a man but a symbol and therefore, he has been immortalized.
Unlike you.
Low is pretty good these days since most are operating on mis.
There’s video of some people being waved in by cops.
So was Animal House.
“Breaking and entering is a crime.”
But it generally requires (as the name suggests) that some degree of force be used. If you go through an open doorway this may be a trespass but probably not breaking and entering. This came up in the Arbery case where Arbery was wandering around in the house under construction.
Republicans will now be viewed, in some circles, as presumptive would-be authoritarians who are not averse to violently disrupting the federal government. It may be difficult for a Republican to obtain a federal security clearance in the future.
The word “populism” is irretrievably associated with “crazies.” Therefore, people who are smart don’t describe their movement as “populism.”
Are you trying to win, or are you trying to lose?
He was sitting peacefully on public property. And besides, there is evidence police allowed (or could be reasonably perceived as having allowed) the pro-democracy demonstrators onto the property.
You have no proof he is guilty of “breaking and entering.” What a nasty comment.
The comedy never ends and that is what hurts them the most.
That the rest of us will wake up tomorrow morning and just laugh at them when they speak.
What real power do they have? Are they strong and imposing types who can physically dominate us? Do they produce our food and water? Our energy? Anything?
The left produces noise, illusions, and debt. The right produces everything necessary for sustaining life. If tomorrow morning every right leaning person just cut off all leftists and laughed at them it would end immediately. They rage at their own impotence. They rage that they spent months rioting and burning their cities and most of us just yawned.
Right. The US Marine Corps also features the same emblem. I’ll bet pre-Nazi Germany used the eagle as well thus the use of descriptor Imperial. Next we will learn that Trump once rode in an Mercedes Benz just like the Nazis.
Where would we be without USA Today fact checkers?

That’s a crazy thing to say.
When an individual decides to participate in a crowd’s ill-advised adventurism, he may find that he becomes legally responsible for the worst that was done or planned. Public violence is not a viable tactic.

Sounds good but I doubt Iraqis, Hiroshimites, Dresdenizens etc view America as harmless.
Lewis wasn’t talking about the America of 1945. As for the America of 2003, that country launched what it called “Operation Iraqi Freedom.” It was marketed as helping free the country from a tyrant. How did our friendly gesture work out?
As the Cambodian minister said after Saigon fell, his mistake was trusting America.

One thing for sure is that patriotic right wing protesters are much more interesting and fun to watch compared to annoying left wing activist shouting in the streets for or against equality, systemic racism, or similar horsepoop:))

Not in my book.

If I had to give one reason for why religiosity has declined, it would be that there’s a perception that men who attend church are profoundly unsexy. Men who would sleep through a lecture about evolution or rationality or the church’s ‘homophobia’ leap to attention when threatened with ‘what woman wants Ned Flanders?’ It’s certainly a potent argument in terms of persuading people to change their stated philosophy.
But if ‘women find behavior X sexy,’ what more does that imply about that behavior? Just as a lot of people love ‘diversity’ in the abstract but love it far less when the concrete question ‘where do I want my kids to go to school’ comes up, a lot of people here who are romanticizing this guy in the abstract wouldn’t want their daughter to bring him home. They’d want a reliable ‘bugman,’ not someone who’s going to go to prison for years for this impotent gesture in support of Lame Cuck President. Tell me I’m wrong.
Unfortunately all these people have drawn the attention of the Federal panopticon.
The FBI cannot seem to detect Antifa traveling across state lines to commit crimes such as arson, nor can the FBI apparently discover a BLM multi-state conspiracy to engage in co-ordinated rioting, but they sure can track down every person imaged in the Capitol and arrest them. Probably they already have, or will soon, jail every one involved.
Federal prosecutors will pile on every possible charge, because that’s how the system works. Faced with years in jail, some will plead out to the least charge, others will become informants. Possibly their families will suddenly become unemployed, etc.
There won’t be any big show trials, because that would make the informants less useful. But there will be some people going to Federal prison for a while. This is another example of anarcho-tyranny in the making.
I don’t know, they’ve shown Hunter, Joe and Hilary an abundance of mercy
A lot of men who fought in WWI had a similar mentality. Trump allegedly called them “suckers” and “losers.” Probably just media lies, but if he said it, he wasn’t wrong. Trump’s a weak cuck in most respects, but the one thing I like about him is that he has a winner mentality. He knows what really matters.
That’s why I sadly must disagree with another commenter who says that the left is powerless if we just ridicule or ignore them. True they do nothing useful, but they can freeze your accounts, decide what you can see and hear, decide where you can go, soon it will be demand to see your papers and much more — and they are obsessed with doling out personal punishment
And that’s the problem right there. Smarten up.
Another video showed the pair joining a mob in entering the U.S. Capitol through an unlocked door, passing Capitol police who offered no resistance.

Pure and simple, the crowd was not allowed to enter the place, especially with weapons.
You really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Trespassing on federal property with the purpose to disrupt government business, with a number of protestors who had weapons and sought to “talk” to politicians.
Again, try to keep up.
David French writes that Arbery was executed:
Feels a lot like Luther after Muenster.
Only thing is that this wasn’t anything like Muenster in fact. We have a massive Media problem and it’s been festering for a long time.
Maybe. I feel like we’ve been in this regime for so long that many ‘conservatives’ have no memory of anything other than the alpha fux beta bux paradigm.
“They say a person who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer. You’ve really joined the crowd here. If I were the judge, I’d censure you for trying a stunt like that.”
Actually he may have a point. There is often a legal distinction between theft and borrowing without permission (a lesser offense). This comes up in auto theft cases sometimes.
Thanks for the Slate article. That was some grade A panty wetting there. Particularly enjoyed the hand wringing over smoking pot in conference rooms and concerns over the ‘far right’ taking over the narrative. What next, charges for narrative murder? The writer proceeds to work him or herself into a lather imagining why one fellow might have been carrying zip ties.
Can you not post somewhere more amenable to histrionic bed wetting?
Many Antifa types would be separated fawns in the mega-county jails where they would be housed while pugilistic sh**lord-faced Proud Boys types will tend to command respect.
A fun heuristic emerges from looking at the mugshots of California’s death row inmates: The ones who fit the Antifa profile frequently have “bad charges” whereas the ones who look like the Capitol stormers skew towards dedicated prison gang operatives, the latter being widely revered within the CDC.
The near-unanimous consensus among ex prisoners is that most Antifa goons would be having a string of bad days that would extend the exact length of their sentences. That’s the nice version anyways.
