Footage tape-recorded on numerous video cameras discovered throughout Thomas’ discovery verifies the war veteran was attempting to de-escalate violence on January 6 and attempted to ward off polices to stop them from strongly beating senior unarmed demonstrators to the ground.
Thomas explained utilizing his body to protect others from getting beat in the head with batons and sprayed in the confront with deadly chemical representatives as authorities intensified the demonstration into a fear attack on Upper West Terrace on Capitol premises, in an unique interview with The Gateway Pundit.
” On the upper west balcony, I saw a great deal of pushback in between the crowd and the authorities. I attempted to produce a space in between the cops and the protesters,” he discussed. ” I saw a policeman on the ground and a senior guy on the ground. A cops officer hurried that senior guy as he was laying on the ground and began striking him in the head with a nightstick. That’s when I actioned in between them and put my lower arm versus the police officers’ guards and began shouting, ‘Let him up! Let him up!” Let him up! Let him up!”
” The old guy had the ability to get up and out of the location and pressed the space in between the protesters and the authorities– I was pressing protesters away and attempting to produce a space in between the 2,” he continued. “I shrieked, ‘Hold the line!’ which implies stop advancing, stop clashing. We require to keep the area, to keep the peace, to attempt to de-escalate, which didn’t assist, truthfully. They simply kept going at it.
” At one point, I saw a protester knock a law enforcement officer down and after that the protesters leapt back and fell under me. I advised [the protester], ‘We are not here for that! What are you doing?’ Then I got struck with a nightstick. I began chewing out the polices, ‘Why are you swinging at me? I didn’t do anything?’
Thomas’ account of the occasions is substantiated in video that existed to the jury.
After Prince George’s County Officer Ainsworth was torn down by a protestor using a blue t-shirt, Ainsworth assaulted a guy resting on the ground.
” I actioned in and utilized my lower arm to press Ainsworth back while stating “Let him up!” This is my supposed attack on Ainsworth that caused a mistrial, termination. I declared self-defense and defense of others,” Thomas continued.” After a number of minutes, I turned my back to the cops as I was informed the crowd, “Hold the line” to stop them from advancing towards the authorities line. A protester locks arms with me and the authorities started pressing from behind, triggering a scuffle. They struck and pressed us away.
Thomas remembered when a guy protected him from getting shot in the back by cops as he left. The male who attempted to safeguard Thomas was recognized in discovery as J6 offender Jeremy Brown
” They were utilizing rubber bullets. They were likewise shooting pepper balls. I saw individuals getting struck with rubber bullets. I likewise saw a gentleman get struck in the side with a bean bag. I believe I got shot with a bean bag in the future in the day. As I was leaving, I had my back to the authorities line. It was really Jeremy Brown who stepped in between me and the authorities as they were striking me,” Thomas stated. “I simply held my head as I was attempting to leave, however I can’t see since I was blinded by pepper spray. When I recalled at my video, after discovering who Jeremy Brown was, I resembled that’s Jeremy Brown, he stepped in between the authorities and myself and stopped me from getting hit.”
Thomas went to the Stop the Steal demonstration on January 6 with his partner and after that-16- year-old child.
” When we arrived the rally itself was fantastic. It was tranquil and everyone enjoyed and cheering and really charitable and caring. It didn’t matter what side of the aisle you were on, what walk of life you originated from. All of us stood there in a huge sea of red, white and blue as Americans all under the very same banner of flexibility. It was lovely,” he discussed.
But then whatever took a strange turn.
First, Thomas and his household were alerted by other protesters about a person who was at big intent on stabbing Trump advocates. He discovered a bag of knives.
” At the rally itself by the White House ellipse, some individuals and myself discovered some knives that were stowed away and heard someone was attempting to stab Trump fans. We took those knives and turned them over to Secret Service,” Thomas described. “We likewise discovered a rogue knapsack hanging at like 8 feet in a tree. And, you understand, ‘see something state something,’ so we took that and turned that in also, which in fact wound up being absolutely nothing. We type of had the concept that we required to keep our heads on a swivel due to the fact that there’s a history of Trump advocates being assaulted at rallies and various occasions.
” When the rally was over a great deal of individuals began heading to the Capitol. I hung out a bit prior to I went.”
Suddenly, the fragrance of tear gas, a scent unique to Thomas just from Navy fight training and war, fumigated the air.
” As we approached the Capitol, I began to smell tear gas which I acknowledged from my time in the armed force. That’s when I took a look at my partner and informed her to get my child out of there since something is wrong and I was going to move forward and help if I could,” Thomas stated. “I have some medical training in the past and I’m a Red Cross trainer for CPR and First Aid.
” And so, I went towards the threat, as the military taught me to. As I approached, I saw a mass of individuals. There were a great deal of individuals directing the crowd with bullhorns and– things appeared a little odd. I ultimately made it as much as the Upper West Terrace. When I got up there, I began seeing authorities assaulting unarmed Americans.
” It was my understanding that I was enabled to be there since it was a First Amendment presentation, there were no ‘Restricted Area’ indications– I didn’t see anything informing us that we could not exist. No authorities made any statements that we were not enabled to be there or that it was prohibited to be there.”
Witnessing cops utilize fatal force versus females, kids and the senior sparked primal battle or flight impulses to secure amongst Thomas and other spectators who are now in prison for trying to ward off the unjustified lethal attacks from police officers.
” When I got up there, the very first thing that I saw was among the Metro Police officers release a tear gas container into that restricted area, best beside a senior female and a kid, that I might just presume was her granddaughter.” Thomas remembered. “At that point I ended up being irritated.
” I began chewing out [the authorities], like, ‘You are going to tear gas our own Americans? Does that make you feel excellent? Is that what you do to individuals?’ I began screaming, ‘No violence! That’s not why we’re here.’ I began shrieking at them to honor their oath since it’s unconstitutional for them to be disrupting a First Amendment presentation, specifically with violence versus non-violent protesters. We had some small spoken exchanges.”
Police are seen in another clip pressing protesters off a concrete planter head.
” I try to capture among them however got sprayed with [Oleoresin capsicum] spray. Other protesters captured him rather. I saw 2 or 3 individuals getting beat with nightsticks, and tossed down the stairs– that was totally uncalled for. They were speaking to cops, and next thing you understand they’re getting tossed down the actions.”
” A couple of agitators in the attempted crowd attempted to encourage individuals to utilize pipelines versus MPDC. I begin screaming, ‘No! Put that sh!t back. No violence!” Another agitator then argued with me, requiring violence.
A guy is seen in the video footage utilizing a power saw to cut the zip ties to get rid of a tarpaulin.
When Thomas returned house, he had no concept “January 6ers” would end up being public opponent number one or that Americans who attempted to stop the violence that day would discover themselves on the FBI Most Wanted list.
In truth, he got in touch with the FBI to report on the impropriety.
” I really published all of my videos online and tagged the FBI in my videos stating, ‘Please utilize these videos to discover individuals that were triggering the issues,’ since I genuinely think the agitators that I saw were penetrated in the crowd by other companies– NGOs, perhaps undercover cops or FBI representatives or other 3 letter firms,” he stated.
Not just did members of Antifa undoubtedly conspire versus Trump advocates on January 6, however federal companies ingrained numerous Confidential Human Sources, federal government spies, in pro-freedom groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers on January 6 and weeks and months leading up to the demonstrations. Federal government plants like Ray Epps encouraged the herd of protesters to go inside the Capitol structure.
There were likewise foreign influencers arbitrating the agitation, Thomas found when penetrated by the FBI.
” I presumed there was most likely foreign impact, which I discovered holds true. There were Ukrainian intelligence authorities associated with the crowd,” he stated.” The FBI has actually questioned January 6 offenders about their time there and would like to know if they understood a specific individual. The factor they were asking is that they understood that the specific individual was a Ukrainian spy. Ukranian spies were amongst the Antifa agitators, private human sources, and federal government plants.
” It’s excessive how multi-faceted the set-up really was. Some of the individuals there fell for the trap and got blended in with some of the activities on their own due to the fact that feelings ended up being increased and they began listening to what the other individuals in the crowd were doing.”

Asked the number of individuals he saw cops completely attack on January 6, Thomas exclaimed, “Oh I can’t even keep count.”
” I can consider 3 [individuals] that I enjoyed them strike with their nightstick numerous times in the head, a number of them as they were on the ground,” he stated. “I, myself, got struck a couple of times. I was shot with rubber bullets, pepper spray,” he stated. “I in fact feared for the lives of protesters along with the authorities. I didn’t fear for my life due to the fact that I’m conceited and still have the military mindset that I’m Superman. I do comprehend that there’s a possibility that I might get harmed. I wasn’t doing anything that I saw as a serious capacity for me getting hurt. I existed to be a peacekeeper.”
Thomas stated he is amazed more individuals were not eliminated from the strikes to the head with batons, rubber bullets and flash grenades when “some individuals in positions of power” desired a “bloodbath”:
I am sorry to understand that there were 4 individuals that lost their lives, Kevin Greason, Benjamin Phillips, Roseanne Boyland and Ashli Babbitt. I am glad that God secured those that were there, both authorities and protesters to make sure there wasn’t more due to the fact that I think that some individuals in greater positions of power, and this is simply my viewpoint, however some individuals in greater positions of power, they desired a blood bath.
People’s feelings ran high. The cops may not have actually addressed wish to eliminate individuals, however I believe that they might have inadvertently since they stood out individuals in the head with metal batons and utilizing crowd munitions at close quarters.” Some individuals in the crowd were talking others into attempting to hurry the authorities lines. The cops, at the very same time, tossed crowd suppression regulations into the back of the crowd, which would require individuals forward. When individuals would go forward, the cops line would begin swinging indiscriminately with batons– generally, striking individuals in the head, which by meaning is the usage of deadly force. That makes individuals more enflamed, plus, they are continuously getting sprayed with pepper spray and other chemical representatives. It was a mix of both sides.
I saw a Metro Police officer, by the name of Capinelli, point a 40- milliliter gas cannon at someone’s face on various events in incredibly close quarters, and if that gas cannon comes out of there at those speeds, it might eliminate someone.
We heard Nancy Pelosi put out orders for deadly force to be utilized if any person attempted to get in the Senate chambers. That’s exceptionally incorrect, in my viewpoint, due to the fact that you do not utilize that kind of force versus unarmed civilians, people
I appeared at the Capitol in between 3 and 3:30 I left approximately around 9, 10 o’clock in the evening. After leaving the Capitol premises itself I was really attempting to assist someone discover their automobile. I walked the streets of DC for a number of additional hours to attempt to assist him discover his automobile due to the fact that he could not keep in mind where he parked. We in fact wound up needing to call him an ambulance. He was a senior guy and he was– he was having a great deal of problems, breathing issues, since of all the tear gas and OC spray that was sprayed that day.
I did have a swelling and a goose egg. It did injure a fair bit. My adrenaline was pumping quite significanlty that day. There were points where I understood I got struck and I felt it however I didn’t feel any discomfort at the time. The next day, however, I seemed like I got struck by a truck, out of every thing from the entire day integrated, it harmed.
Thomas certifies his lawyers for winning a significantly “incredible” decision in the hyper-partisan District of Columbia, where 92 percent of prospective jurors elected Joe Biden, assistance Antifa and Black Lives Matter and participated in the emphatically anti-Trump Women’s March.
Like other judges commanding J6 cases, U.S. District Court Judge Dabney L. Friedrich at first showed she had her mind comprised about the accused considered a domestic terrorist by the DOJ and was persistently partial to the federal government.
But the tables turned as Pierce and Roots took apart the prosecution’s J6 story, Thomas stated:
” I need to really provide credit to my judge, Ms. Dabney Friedrich. Despite the fact that the very first number of days of the trial were rather hostile– she was threatening to toss [my legal representatives] in prison, she was removing my First Amendment right, she essentially, I feel had actually comprised her mind currently. As soon as we began moving in with the trial, her whole tone altered. She ended up being a lot more friendly to my defense group, and began to be a lot more reasonable and well balanced to the point where she would advise the prosecution on many celebrations.
This is the very best decision I might have gotten in DC, where everyone works for the federal government or understands someone that operates in the federal government, everyone lives near the Capitol, and everyone seems like a victim One of the prospective jurors stated that he would convict me even if I was white.
There was another that stated, ‘All Trump advocates, at best, are horrible and at even worse are fascists and racists.’ There are a great deal of individuals that stated they might not be unbiased due to the fact that of their close distance to the Capitol. In every one of those circumstances, my legal group actioned in and they resembled, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. We can’t have them on here since they undoubtedly reveal predisposition.’ We wound up going through a whole day’s worth of jurors, they lacked prospective jury members. And needed to go into a 2nd day of jury choice simply to be able to fill the jury box with the needed 14 for the 12 jurors and the 2 alternates.
In one circumstances, Pierce and Roots found a federal government district attorney who presently prosecutes J6 cases remained in the swimming pool of prospective jurors and might have been picked to rest on the jury had they not stepped in.
They attempted to slip in all type of madness. They even attempted to slip a January 6 district attorney into the jury swimming pool,” Thomas stated.” My legal group at the defense table brought up this individual’s profile and they resembled, ‘Wait. This individual is a January 6 district attorney– he is an AUSA district attorney for January 6 cases. He would have been cleared to rest on the jury if they didn’t capture him. The judge struck the specific as soon as my lawyers brought it to her attention.
” One fantastic win we had is that a person of the members of the jury was a chapter president of the Federalist Society and a conservative appeals lawyer. Therefore, I understood that we had a lot higher opportunity of having at least one member of the jury see the truths for what they were and not be prejudiced– that was a wonder!” And then the decision, in itself is incredible.”
Unlike the illogical Covid constraints that judges permitted to dominate throughout Proud Boys and Oath Keepers’ trials, neither jurors nor district attorneys used masks in the courtroom throughout Thomas’s trial. At one point Judge Fredrich rebuked a federal government district attorney for trying to affect the jury.
” I had 2 district attorneys and 2 FBI case representatives connected to my case. She advised among the district attorneys, Samantha Miller, since she kept making faces at the jury. Anytime we would do anything or state anything she would function her eyes or squinch her face together to attempt to affect the jury. The judge advised her about it a number of times. On the 3rd time, she resembled, ‘That’s it. You require to relocate to the opposite of the table.’ Ms Miller, the district attorney resembled, ‘You’re right, I’m sorry, your honor.’ She informed her, ‘You’re not going to have anymore possibilities,'” Thomas stated.
After year of legal representation by a public protector that Thomas thought was “attempting to undermine his case,” Condemned USA President Trennis Evans assisted Thomas acquire personal legal counsel from Pierce, the creator of the National Constitutional Law Union.
Pierce has actually represented the most J6 accuseds in the nation and formerly supplied counsel for prominent accuseds consisting of Rudy Giuliani, Carter Page and George Papadopoulos throughout the Russia probe, Kyle Rittenhouse and previous congressional prospect Laura Loomer in her suits versus huge tech. His other lawyer, Roger Roots represents numerous J6ers consisting of Proud Boy member Dominic Pezzola who was acquitted of seditious conspiracy charges.
” Pierce informed me ‘I would be more than pleased to take your case and assist you out.’ I did some research study on who he was. I was really honored to have him take my cases. He remained in the middle of a number of other trials at the time. After Chris Alberts’ trial completed they called me up and stated, ‘We are going to strike the ground running and begin constructing your defense as much as possible.’
Despite the judge and the federal government closing down every movement we attempted to advance, we entered into DC and provided ’em hell. It was an impressive thing to see a few of the things they had actually carried out in court. They actually didn’t get in much proof on my behalf, they simply utilized all of the federal government’s proof versus them. They would set up videos and body web cam video footage and we would mention whatever they’re declaring is patently incorrect.
Pierce and Roots prosecuted Thomas; cases out of their own pocket.
” I still owe them $100,000 That pays them up through the trial. That does not include what I am going to wind up owing them for the appeals procedure. I’ve been raising cash through Givesendgo to attempt to spend for that,” Thomas stated. Pierce is managing over 30 January 6 accuseds’ cases and doing it all out of his own pocket since a lot of the January 6 accuseds and their households are all broke. We are doing whatever that we potentially can to attempt to raise cash to not just take care of our households and ourselves since we are entirely ostracized from society.
My spouse and I can’t get tasks. And I have 3 months to wait till I’m sentenced. And after that likewise, to be able to pay the legal charges. John and his group are doing it at the bare minimum expense. I can’t thank them enough for that.”
U.S. District Court Judge Dabney L. Friedrich set up a sentencing hearing for Thomas on September 6, 2023.
