Insurrectionist Who Wanted to Hang Nancy Pelosi Makes Friends With KKK Members, Christian Nationalists

Exposed as part of a long-running series on far-right extremism in Ohio 

     Two years of probation and $525 of restitution and fees. That's apparently the price for trying to end American democracy. If you were to ask an average American what a milquetoast, overweight redneck not worth his weight in fried shit looked like, you'd probably elicit Steven Billingsley.

     On January 6th, this cornfed inbred decided to storm the Capitol. While holding a camera, he shouted, "Yeah baby, storm the Capitol. That's where the thieves are." He insulted and threatened police, saying, "Fuck you people... We can do it the nice way or the hard way. You guys turned on us." When police began using pepper spray, he shouted, "We're gonna have three million bomb y'all," "This is war," and, "You're in trouble," while helping to undo a metal barricade. He screamed, "Push" as other rioters pushed past law enforcement. This and his actions at the barricade make it likely that he could have been convicted of a felony charge of civil disorder if the government had pursued it.

     Instead, Billingsley was charged with and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge. After his arrest in August 2021, he showed zero signs of contrition of any kind, attending an anti-mask rally in Steubenville and leaving court on January 6th charges with a "STOLEN PROPERTY" t-shirt that featured an image of the White House. Even after pleading guilty, he let it be known he felt he was the victim. Billingsley is friends with fellow Ohio insurrectionists Clayton Norris and John Douglas Wright as well as other far-right Ohio residents like Jenny Sirocky, Margaret "Glassner" Lytle, Pastor Jeff Tauring, and local Akron-Canton Proud Boys leader Dan "Boomer" Ciamaichella, all of whom I've highlighted previously.

     In a conversation with the overweight Sirocky, Billingsley said, "I'm really upset with our establishment. It's not right not fair." I understand Steven fancies himself a white Republican banker, but when has "the establishment" ever been used as a positive term? Billingsley then said, "Sux when it's all liberal judges. Judge I had sat there and bitched at me bout the election and it wasn't fraud and blah blah blah." Sirocky replied with a puking emoji, which ironically is something she should probably do more of. 

     As a matter of fact, Billingsley got Judge Thomas F. Hogan, an appointee of Ronald Reagan who has served on the bench for 40 years. So, he's hardly a "liberal judge." Even with his break, Billingsley has clearly learned nothing. His probation is almost over. Wright is in prison, Norris is awaiting a near-certain conviction, and Sirocky and the others are still being terrible people.

     A friend of Margaret Lytle and Billingsley by extension is Daniel Hankins, a member of the KKK. In a comment about Whoopi Goldberg, he said, "I wouldn't give her the press good or bad just leave the country like you said you would fuckin ni***r lovin whore... fuckin shitstain cunt." Facebook gave Hankins a warning, but Hankins said, "I ignored it lol." White supremacists, Christian nationalists, and violent criminals. Nearly all of Donald Trump's supporters fall into one or more of these three groups. This is what Ohio is up against. This is what America is up against.

January 6th Felon Hopes To Be Reunited With Girl He Served Prison Time for Trafficking

     Buckle up when I say that this is one of the most disturbing January 6th cases I have ever seen, even though the defendant in this case has not been charged with any acts of violence or property destruction. I've already written about Michael Marroquin here . He spent over an hour inside the Capitol, shouted, "Keep moving," when insurrectionists came upon a police line, and made it to the hallway outside the House of Representatives where Ashli Babbitt was shot. While there, he took a now-viral photo of an officer with his firearm pointed at Marroquin. Marroquin shouted that the officer was a "traitor" and dared the police to arrest him.       Marroquin has a disturbing past. In the article published soon after his January 6th arrest, I described his arrest for human trafficking in Bolivia. In 1989, Marroquin was diagnosed with lupus nephritis and given six months to live. He has gone on to live 35 years, and this seeming divine intervention led him to star

Here's What Happened to the Seven January 6th Defendants From Northern California

     Sean McHugh, an Auburn resident with a significant criminal history, was convicted of felony charges of assaulting law enforcement and obstruction of an official proceeding for his egregious actions that day, which included trying to breach barricades at least four times, inciting the mob and insulting law enforcement with a bullhorn, spraying chemical spray at officers, and pushing a large metal "Trump" sign into the police line. He was sentenced to 78 months in prison, which he is serving through December 2026 at the FCI at Victorville. After that, he gets to spend three years on probation and pay $7,200 in fines, fees, and restitution.      Jorge Aaron Riley, a Sacramento resident and self-proclaimed "Native Republican" who stormed the Capitol on January 6th "for the war," pleaded guilty to a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. He is serving his sentence through November 2024 at FCI Lompo

Naked Violinist Arrested for Storming the Capitol on January 6th

       The reason Governor Tim Walz's "weird" insult against Trump and his minions has stuck is perhaps due to how true it is, how well it encapsulates all the years of pent-up frustration at these Bananas Republicans. For all the violence and all the pain, January 6th, too, had a lot of weird people. There was a Florida man who stormed the Capitol dressed as a panda, a New Jersey Nazi and robber who stormed the Capitol with a binkie in his mouth, and so many other strange people.      The latest arrest details perfectly another example of a weirdo arrested for storming the Capitol on January 6th. The details of his actions that day aside from the fact that he entered the Capitol are slim, as all that has been made public is his criminal complaint. However, a few public records searches give you ebough of a clue what type of person Oregon resident Matthew Mglej is.       Known to online sleuths as "#ScraggleTooth," Mglej was one of the first people to enter the
