Law & Crime reports:
The Virginia man who wore a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. Robert Keith Packer, 57, was photographed wearing the black hoodie, which also bore an image of a human skull and the words “Work Brings Freedom,” as he joined the mob of Donald Trump supporters who overran police and breached the building in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election.
Packer was allegedly part of the group that moved toward the office of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who is Jewish. As part of his agreement, Packer agreed to cooperate with the federal government. “Mr. Packer has agreed to talk with the FBI about the events of that day and allow the FBI to peruse any social media accounts he might have,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Mona Furst told U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, at the hearing.
