FBI: Naval Reservist Charged With Storming the Capitol With Proud Boys
In March, Speed met with with an FBI undercover employee who “presented to Speed as a like-minded individual,” an FBI agent said in a court filing. Speed told the undercover agent that going to the Capitol on Jan. 6 “was always the plan” and said he went there with friends who were Proud Boys members, the filing says.
“He also observed that ‘there are too many Americans that have this idea that we have to be peaceful at all costs,’” the agent added. After the Capitol riot, Speed bought at least 12 firearms over the span of a few months and spent more than $50,000 at firearm and firearm-part retailers, a prosecutor said in a court filing.
“He said that the ADL promoted the recent anti-lynching bill and that the bill was being passed because 'they know things are ... going to get bad enough, that people like us are going to band together and straight up start lynching people,'” Loeb wrote.
