Capitol Rioter Caught Thanks In Part To Flashing His Gigantic Stomach Tattoo On Camera

Capitol Rioter Caught Thanks In Part To Flashing His Gigantic Stomach Tattoo On Camera

If you ever plan to violently storm your nation's Capitol, threaten the existence of a 250-year-old democratic republic and attack law enforcement officers, it's probably not a good idea to broadcast your most unique physical characteristics.

That apparently did not occur to James Burton McGrew, a January 6 insurrectionist who was recently arrested after he was identified by his distinct "KING JAMES" belly tattoo he flashed to cameras during the Capitol riot.


According to an affidavit filed in Glendale, Arizona, where McGrew was arrested, he's been charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; obstructing an official proceeding; engaging in physical violence and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds; and assaulting, resisting or impeding an officer."

As the affidavit stated, McGrew lifted his shirt to wipe his face and eyes at one point during the chaos of the Capitol Riot, at which time his belly tattoo was exposed to a police body camera.

Using the tattoo as a reference, investigators were able to identify McGrew based on a police booking photo from a 2012 arrest, the details of which were not included in the affidavit.

Once they identified McGrew, investigators were able to pour over images from television news broadcasts, social media posts, and more bodycam footage throughout the January 6 incident.

It became clear McGrew spent his time at the Capitol destroying property and attacking members of the Capitol Police.

The affidavit provided a detailed description of the aggressive conduct that was the basis for those charges.

"At 3:05 pm, body worn camera footage placed MCGREW inside of the Rotunda."
"According to multiple videos, law enforcement officers attempted to push rioters back to force them towards one exit door. After MCGREW was pushed back with the crowd, MCGREW lunged forward to strike a law enforcement officer."

The affidavit went on to state McGrew continued this cycle of retreating and attacking two more times.

He ultimately lunged forward to steal an officer's baton.

People who heard about McGrew's arrest were satisfied.





Since the riot on January 6, more than 400 people involved in the insurrection have been identified and charged according to a Huffington Post report.

College Announcer Apologizes After Sparking Outrage With Body-Shaming Comment About Plus-Size Dance Team

In the United States, there are 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)—schools founded when segregation laws and racist policies kept Black men and women from higher education. The schools developed their own unique culture and customs around stepping, marching band, drum majors, and majorettes.

HBCU majorettes march with the band, dance, and have stand battles during games. The dance style and moves are unique to Black culture, but have spread beyond the HBCUs to high schools and dance schools across the country.

Watters claimed Barron Trump—the youngest child of President Donald Trump—had recently brought a woman to Trump Tower in New York City and “shut the whole floor down so he could be alone.” He also cited a People magazine article in which unnamed sources described Barron as “a ladies’ man,” “really popular with the ladies,” and “tall and handsome.”
