The Department of Justice says the man who stormed the Capitol in face paint and a furry headdress while holding a spear is a Navy veteran. Business Insider says Jake Angeli, the so-called "Q Shaman," was identified by the Department of Justice as Jacob A. Chansley. A Navy official told Task & Purpose that he was kicked out after just over two years after refusing to get vaccinated. The Arizona man is one of several veterans who stormed the Capitol last week. He was arrested Saturday. Others include retired Air Force Reserve Lt. Col. Larry Rendall Brock Jr., who was spotted wearing tactical gear and carrying zip-tie handcuffs. Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed by Capitol Police as she attempted to break down a set of doors.
