The US Justice Department has charged another member of the far-right group Proud Boys for his alleged role in the riots at the Capitol Hill building on 6 January.
Paul Rae from Largo, Florida, has been accused by prosecutors of obstructing the proceeding underway at the Capitol on 6 January and unlawfully entering the building amidst destruction of federal property.
Five people, including a police officer, were killed after supporters of Donald Trump breached the Capitol and wreaked havoc after the ex-president held a “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington DC. It happened as members of Congress gathered at the building to certify Joe Biden’s presidential election victory.
The evidence established from video footage and his Google location allegedly showed Mr Rae made forced entry into the Capitol building through the window that was smashed by other Proud Boys members.

We have a growing problem in America with extremist groups and their tendency to use violence or force. From Antifa protest, Portland riots, Chicago riots, to the Capital Hill riot. Just hope stiff penalties are enough to discourage this sort of behavior from getting more kinetic.
I feel a big part of the problem is the lack of leadership in our politics - we are very divided and have been encouraged to shout down and cancel each other out - not even close to how a democracy is supposed to work. There's very little respect in terms of opposing political viewpoints
